I feel I don't drink enough tea, and it could possibly explain my shortcomings).

I make so many mistakes, hahahaha, whenever I start inking a big book, 99% of the time, I trash the first hour of inking, it's never warm enough. I haven;t used charcoal in years but it is fun and difficult to pull off well. Your charcoal work is excellent, esp. your animal portraits, I find them very compelling and strong. You would make a great mezzotint/drypoint artist!Mahendra Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15308770582240496910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268813616456268351.post-45760062837020325412016-09-06T12:19:27.625-04:002016-09-06T12:19:27.625-04:00Mr.Singh I'd often wondered about the process ...Mr.Singh I'd often wondered about the process of your illustrations and this post answered my many questions including 'what about his eyes when he does such detailed work', 'does he ever make a mistake?', 'can he erase ink?'<br />Pretty fascinating to read, especially for a user of charcoal. The wisdom at the end too, is excellent. Thank you.pRiyAhttp://theplumtree2.blogspot.in/noreply@blogger.com
