Description

Pigment Ink on paper.

A piece that took me quite a while and as per usual with my traditional works I only fiddled a little bit with brightness and contrast to get right what the scanner got wrong. Other than that... no digital post-processing. I used pigment ink, so every line you see is the first and last line on that piece of paper. I cannot erase anything and when I work on a picture like this, there is almost no sketching beforehand. This has two reasons: One - it is much more thrilling to see the picture grow organically. A sketched line makes me follow instructions, a blank piece of paper invites me to work in little odds and ends. Two - you may be unable to erase any line, but the pigment ink tends to lose a little bit of saturation if I use an eraser to get rid of sketch lines - especially if the drawn lines are thin.

I really would like to explain all the thoughts and hidden things that went into this picture but that would spoil the fun :)

This picture (the original traditional piece) was part of the Charity Auction at Galacon 2014 in Ludwigsburg. Every cent raised was donated to Bronies for Good.

Enjoy.
