Pen and Ink Art Lessons

St. Peter's Church, Chetnole, Dorset, Pen and Ink - Part 2 of 2

This window was under repair when the photo was taken. A hundred mile round trip had to be taken in order to check it out and complete it.

Be sure to draw each tile in the direction it is laying. When I become bored with Bricks, tiles etc, I turned my attentions to the Woodpecker. I have used artistic licence to enhance this picture and add depth. Things like T.V. aerials, Telephone wires etc, I generally leave out.

Lightly draw your bird using an HB pencil.

Ink over the pencil lines using a feathery effect (.10mm pen)

Short wavy lines.

Keep adding more of the same wavy lines on top, but leave some highlights.

The eye is made up of tiny dots - be sure to leave a highlight. Tiny dots and dashes go in a straight line for the beak.

Notice the highlight in the eye. This is shaped to go round the eyeball. Tiny areas are left to give a rounded look.

The same wavy lines are used over the top of the feathering using a .25mm pen. Leave some highlights.

Example of how to make things look round. This is made up of tiny dots.

ST. PETER'S CHURCH

Chetnole, Dorset.

This drawing took approximately 105 hours to complete. This did not include the journey back to Chetnole to sort out the problem with the window. Actual size: 42 x 29.7cm (A3)

I have deliberately made these images a decent size in the possibility that some people may wish to use them for their own personal use. However they must not be used for commercial gain, unless by written permission from the artist.
