i restarted the dragon. this time i inked all the lines with a felt tip .005 pen and most of that jittery line work is due to how hard i grip the pen (i am not quite relaxed with the medium yet)
after the inks i got my BIG set of watercolor brushes and started putting down all the underpainting colors. once that is done then i will go over it with gouache and hopefully have a nice painterly painting in the end
if this looks the way i want it too then i will try the same kind of process for oils. use tracing paper to transfer my image to a canvas. ink the image, do an acrylic underpainting with several translucent layers THEN finish it with ink
i wish i could have more success with a looser method but i think i need to do things with this rigid step by step method to get any real progress
