I trained myself in drawing and digital painting. I am in no way an expert but I daily strive to attain perfection. Feel free to comment, criticise and advice so I can do better.

Some of the work

Some more

Good attempt. To create good ink outlines get a set of rotring pens or sakura pens (used by Japanese manga artists & made there also). Biros don't just cut it when transferring to Photoshop,Illustrator or SketchBook Pro.

I got some tutorials from drawing the marvel way so here's the result.

Chief, can I easily get those in Lagos? Where and how much? I currently use an Aplus liquidly pen.

Rotring pen set available in Ojuelegba,Lagos,Nigeria for years(I studied architecture) & the sakura pen set isn't available in Nigeria ordered via Amazon here.

For pencil sketches I prefer rotring clutch pencils also known as mechanical pencils (0.5 & 2.0mm thickness) available also in Ojuelegba or a good bookshop that stocks up well.Then colour up with coloured pencils & pastel.

Like how much would I be spending? And which would u recommend for inking in the absence of India ink

Prices change I can't tell you anything fixed just the range,it's best you visit the bookshops yourself.
*I recommend the sakura pens instead but you need to order them via Amazon. Check for Micron Sakura pen set of 6
*Rotring pen set of 8 is now 26k
*Clutch pencils vary between N900-1k
*Coloured pencils & pastel - Maybe 2-3k each
That's all I can estimate for now...

Did this today, I had scribbled this earlier just painted it today. I use soft brush at low opacity and flow in blending and creating midtones.

Had drawn this earlier before but got inspiration this morning to practice shades...

A fair attempt,am guessing all in pencils. They were more dark shades than subtle highlights.
I see you are a blogger,an aspiring doctor & zoologist...only you I hail Ooo!!!*lol*hehehe*
You should be posting your art work on your blog like I do mine. Great way to keep the blog going when articles aren't coming*winks winks*

Mastery they say is a product of consistency. Another drawing done today,

Not been doing much in the way of Digital painting, trying to relive my drawings to create realism. See what I have been up 2
