Sometimes I draw in white ink into a rather lovely black sketchbook by Paperchase. But it ain’t half difficult! Funny thing is, if I draw onto paper that I’ve coloured with a wash, I really enjoy it. Maybe it’s because the commercial one is so evenly coated and perfect, it’s like drawing straight onto a perfect sheet of fine white paper – inhibiting. When I draw nudes onto black, I like mapping a grid over the surface of the body. It’s gives a three dimensional look and it also looks a bit science fictiony. I think I’ll have to be more assertive with the sketchbook and not let it intimidate me – maybe attack it with white oil bars or white conte instead of using a fine line pen. That’s it – I’ll get all butch!

Great picture, and interesting to read about how you did it.
Thank you and thanks for following my blog:)
I can’t wait to explore it further!
I like the look of white lines! Inspiring.
Thank you 🙂
Amazing and very inspiring, I’m feeling the urge to go and spend some money in WHSmith and Paperchase!
Thank you – it’s great fund drawing this way 🙂
Can you get butch while wearing one of your corsets?
I can’t even breathe then lol
I didn’t even know you could get white ink Rosie.. this is utterly fascinating !
Yes you can get white Indian ink to use with dip pens and WH Smith sometimes sells a white ‘gel’ pen which is really nice to draw with.
