Ink Manipulation

This morning we did some ink work. We had a variety of  of ink colours to choose from, instead of just putting ink on my paper, i decided to draw a sketch of a leopard with horns. I was going to drip the ink from the eyes but then i just decided to put the ink at the top so that the ink will run down past and onto my sketch so that when you look at it you’ll see the image when you really focus. We were given a variety of materials to make the ink run, we could just put the ink at the top of the page and make it run by tipping it, but we had pipette, wooden sticks and straws to blow into to make it more concentrated. The only colour ink i used was black as it fitted the whole aesthetic that i was going for, but there was yellow, green, orange, blue and red. It was fun seeing how these artists do ink manipulation, I can say it does take a steady hand and free time.
