115. Into the wild ...

Rather than have a series like in the past to build up, I am just going to attach a few to show how this particular piece came about ...

So the above is an initial pencil layout follow by some random inking to get the feel of what I want to create ... notice the antlers and the tree branches ...

And here is the final work ... with some of the pencil lines still in ... hope you like it

114. Tree of Life #5

And from all the painted versions of tree of life, I went on and did some test using black ink lines ...

118. Ink work ...

This is another attempt at ink work for landscape but was indecisive on the topic and was thinking Christmassy or what? This is a 2016 piece

113. Nice, France ...

And from my first European trip in 2015 comes this quick sketch ... and hoping to do more in 2017

112. Japanese Ink Style - completed

And here it is the final piece. I only did a piece. Maybe later on I will try the other one with the sea waves as that looks interesting too!

111. Japanese Ink Style ...

This is a piece that I am testing out using black ink from an initial quick pencil outline. I loved the work by the original guy who did it but cannot recall his name now. But I learned from this how to use dots and different strength or size of the dots to create the right feeling. So admiring other artists works do pay off

This is the draft

110. Focal Point ...

I have seen people using black paper or canvas and decided to test this out. This quite a nice paper texture. The only thing is to find the right eraser and I am lucky here it just works out. Basically this piece is more like those advice stuff where we say that you can be perfect all the time but if you make one mistake, immediately, everyone will focus on that one mistake and forget about all the other times you were right!
