In this class, I will teach you 13 different ink shading techniques to add depth, light, shadow, gradients, blending and more to your ink illustrations.

What will we be learning?

We will be covering stippling, hatching, cross hatching, scribbling and contouring. We’ll also take a look at some more creative techniques, including looping, jagged marks and tiling and weaving.

We’ll also be looking at ways to blend colours and shades together using layering techniques, changing nib sizes to change the line weights and increasing space in our shapes and marks.

Who can take this class?

Everyone! This class is for those just starting out in ink illustrations and learning to draw with inks or established artists looking to try out a new medium.

What do I need to get started?

All you need to get started is a pack of fine liner pens, some colour markers or fine liners and some drawing paper. I’ll be covering all my favourite materials and artist recommendations during this class.

By the end of this class you will have a strong grasp of 13 different ink shading techniques and a new found confidence drawing in inks.
