Hello true believers! I have some Zombies and some Samurai for you to check out today. These were inked using one of my new favorite things... brush pens! As I continue to experiment and work on my process I picked up one of these handy things.

Pentel Watercolor Brush Pen |
I got this at
Hobby Lobby for around $10. At first, I filled it with the typical Higgins waterproof ink. Unfortunately, that type of ink was very thin, didn't cover well, and came out with a brown-ish, washed out look. So, I switched to a Higgins Pigment waterproof ink, which covers completely, does not wash out brown, and looks great. Below are a few of my inking experiments using this new pen and ink.
I'm very proud of these drawings because I didn't use any reference for any part of them. These were all created from imagination and knowledge of the anatomy of the face. This doesn't mean that they're perfect, but I feel they're pretty good for not looking at reference.

I like the Zombie girl & think she looks both feminine & scary at the same time. Intrigued by the fact that you drew this from memory...have you met her before? :)
