PEN, INDIA INK, INK WASH – 2020 & 2021
I’ve been teaching drawing classes since 2016. During our unit on Pen & Ink and Ink Wash, I often do draw-along demonstrations while the students work on their own drawings. I’ll often draw under a doc cam and project my work in real time on a screen so they can watch my hand in motion. During the pandemic, while teaching online, this was even easier, because I couldn’t walk around and look in on the student’s while they worked. My demo drawings tend to feature classic monsters, like this crosshatch demonstration with Frankenstein’s Monster. Later, I did an ink wash portrait of the great actor who portrayed the monster, Boris Karloff.
