Pen & Ink Wash Illustration: Rapidograph Pen & India Ink

Art Prof Teaching Artist Alex Rowe shows how to brainstorm, research, sketch, and complete a illustration based on a historical event from the colonial era in America. Rowe talks about how to come up with an idea for an illustration, takes a trip to the library to research a story about sheep in colonial america, another trip to draw sheep on site at Drumlin Farm in Massachusetts, and then demonstrates how to visualize the illustration by creating a series of thumbnail sketches.

Rowe discusses the technical aspects of how to clean and draw with a Rapidograph pen, as well as techniques for creating a wide range of grey tones using brush techniques with ink wash. The process of creating the final illustration is showed step by step, showing how to use the Rapidograph pen and ink wash together.
