Hi, I'm Seth Maxwell Malice. I'm a artist and illustrator. I'm using a brush as opposed
to a pen, because brush gives you more freedom of line thickness and depending on how much
you put it down and pull or how lightly you put it down and pull, gives you your different
line definitions, thickness. So right now, what I'm doing is I'm just putting the brush
on the paper, I'm seeing where it lands and then I'm pulling it. Now as you pull, the
brush with the ink on it, no matter how much you push down, or pull up with the brush,
determines your line thickness. Okay, so now I'm picking up where I left that last line
and the putting the brush right down and stopping. See, it sort of points out, that's why it's,
it's got this point on there. When you pull the brush through the ink, remember, you're
turning it. And you're doing this, and you'll see, you get a cheat, you get to see your
line, what you're working with on blotter first before you put it on paper. Okay, I'll
go through her dress strap here, just try to keep a straight line, I, I sometimes use
two hands, this hand to hold, this hand just to anchor it a little bit. And remember you're
also doing sort of a optical illusion, so when you're drawing, you're not drawing every
exact thing on here, you can eye an illusion of, of depth of field, thickness, whatever.
