Description
Don’t you just love how impressive a well-done ink artwork looks? It is pretty cool how much expression one can put into drawings with just a pen and paper. It is absolutely amazing.My name is Benjamin Aeilkema and I’m an Illustrator and Artist from The Netherlands. I love creating Artworks with all kinds of materials, but one of my favorite forms of art for sure is working with ink.Using a pen, fineliner or any media with ink can be very intimidating. The pen is unforgiving, what’s on the paper, stays on the paper and a mistake is easily made. Over the past few years I met many people who struggle to get started with ink for a number of reasons. Others get started, but get stuck along the way. Getting stuck like that isn’t motivating at all!Some of the struggles people have shared with me…..It definitely looks awesome, but how in the world do I get my pictures to look that way? I mean, I can handle the outlining, but taking it a step further – making a picture come alive, is a totally different.When I try to shade with ink, I mess up my whole drawing. Even when I manage to prevent disaster from happening, the outcome just looks very plain and way too simple. Not that impressive at all!I tried following some tutorials to help me out. It went right over my head; it was too complicated. Leaving me more frustrated than when I began. In other videos they only showed just a little part of the techniques needed to make a great looking work. This left me stuck half way through, not knowing how to apply it and actually make it work.So yes, a well-done work with ink looks awesome, but I sure don’t know what it takes to get such results. What I do know, is that I’m not making it happen! If anything, it just seems very hard, intimidating and complicated to make a nice piece of art with this medium!A number of years ago I found myself facing the same struggles. Nevertheless, I somehow was convinced that I could discover the right techniques to conquer these challenges. Techniques to unlock the mystery of making beautiful, expressive ink artworks. Without it having to be as complicated as it seemed.Guess what? Once I figured out what these very specific techniques are, I developed ways to master them. You will be glad to hear that these ways are actually not that hard at all.Now I greatly enjoy working with ink and with all kinds of different ink-based tools. But just a simple, regular pen and a piece of paper are enough to make a drawing that can WoW people and put a big smile on their face. I love how much you can accomplish with such a simple medium, if you just know the right techniques and the right way to apply them.In this Art Class you will discover exactly what it takes to make ink drawings that have the desired WoW-factor.So, are you ready to unlock your capacity to create beautiful ink drawings?Enjoy this specially designed Mastering-Ink-Method which will take you beyond the places where many get stuckDiscover what the very specific techniques are to create really expressive artworks with just paper and inkStrengthen your basic skills and take your work to the next level with advanced techniquesWe’ll work on topics like: sketching, light, shading, shadows, focus and moreGain understanding of the necessary theory with very plain and understandable step-by-step video lessonsDirectly apply your newly gained insights to assignments this course will walk you throughBecome confident in knowing how to apply your newly acquired skills and gained understanding to your very own art piecesThis Inking Art Class is a great addition to your art journey!Enrolling in this Art Class will give you 18 video lessons with clear instructions and examples.
