Illustration Friday: Twist
This quick drawing is for the Illustration Friday topic “Twist.” As an added twist, I decided to use my brush pen to ink this one instead of my usual fixed-width pens. I adore my Micron pens, and I still used them here for some of the finer details, but it can be a lot of work to get a vivid, organic line with them. The brush pen forces a somewhat looser approach, which takes a little getting used to since I’m out of practice. Maybe when I have time I’ll add a background and tidy up the details, but I’m very happy with the overall gesture and expression in this one.

Really nice work. I love the way their tails are entwined too.

This is done beautifully! I love the soft colors you used versus the black outline. I too love my technical pens, but the brush work is a very nice touch to this piece. Great job!
