Vendor from Madagascar in colored inks

Hello everyone,

I recently finished a colored ink stippling project of a lady from Madagascar in colored ink. I use Faber-Castell Indian ink pens and Micron ink pens.

I am doing a Pixabay around the world tour of every country on every continent. I started working in Africa. I am drawing all of the photos in Graphite first by simple observation.

Next I am choosing a topic like animals, people, food, nature, etc. and doing one from every country connected to that continent. It has been fun and interesting. a good way to practice graphite drawings and then choosing an appropriate colored medium to create a more polished version.

Also, it is a no pressure project as it is for my own personal growth as an artist.

Thanks for taking a look and anyone interested is welcome to travel the world with me through Pixabay.

That is really interesting, I have never seen anything like it. The color wheel appealed works really well with reds, greens, blues and oranges making it really pop. I’m guessing you used a lot of stippling to create the piece. Glad to see this artwork Artsy, really well down.

You are very welcome Artsy, that’s a really creative way of making art although a bit time intensive, it does lead to a great result. I think I might try that sometime.

@Samuel

I hope that you give it a try. I find it relaxing, though slowly develops but very satisfying at the end.
