Blackwing Sketchbook

I am always looking on other people's blogs for inspiration, especially animation artists, like Blackwing Sketchbook http://blackwingsketch.blogspot.com/

I find her brush work so simple, but so effective, in drawing human figues- even in a rough state.

She also has a simplistic way of colouring and shading, like in this picture above.

This technique even works for her life drawing, as shown above. I like how she depicts such complex detail, like a pony tail, very briskly.

I also find some of her mark making interesting, like in this quick drawing. I like how she has quickly drawn the shape of her leg, and her hand like that.

Again in this picture too, I find how she has done the hands an interesting approach. It just makes me want to use a brush pen to do some quick life drawing.
