Robin Commission


Used the good old Windsor Newton Series 7, No. 2 on this one. My former illustration professor Bob Dacey used to preach about this brush all the time, calling it his "work horse." He was referring to working in watercolor, but I know this tool is used a lot with ink as well. It has an absolutely incredible range of lines that can be achieved (not that you will find them by looking at my work), from the razor thin to a fat, quarter inch stroke and back in a second. Worth every cent.

I tried to make Robin's cape look a little like a bird's wing in this one, just to throw in a little cheesy conceptual angle. Not sure it was entirely successful, but the intent was there. Enjoy!
