Cannibal Island
Posted: February 13, 2017 Filed under: Uncategorized 1 CommentThe above is a splash page illustration from a recent commission showing our doughty adventurers rowing up to an island no doubt inhabited by cannibals and worse.
For one of the illustrations for the same book, I tried doing the illustration in both pen-and-ink and digital means:
Pen and ink:
Digital:
Both used the same original pencil drawing. Although the digital work flow allows easier changes and revisions, I like the line quality of pen and ink better.
Pen and ink, definitely. I know what you mean about ease of workflow, but the quality not just of the line but also the solid areas of black is so much more “you” in the pen-and-ink!
