Octopus and the tree

The Octopus and The Tree

I took a stab at illustrating Greg's story -- my idea was to hint at a woman's face in the tentacles...

strathmore makes a really nice series of illustration boards...cold (smooth) and hot press (rough) that work well for pen and ink...the cold gives you more detail, but won't hold pigment too well (have to use a fixative).
One of my favorite surfaces, next to canvas and rice paper...

Gotcha. No I haven't tried those. I'm now using Daler -Rowney Layout paper or Canson acid free tracing vellum....both work really well depending on what I want!

I just bought some faber-castel artist pens which have nibs rather like paintbrushes they come in 3 sets, shades of grey (which I bought), shades of terracotta and colours, lots of fun!
