10 tips to accelerate pen and ink drawing skills

Who else has a "velcro pet" in their art studio or workspace? Mine somehow finds her way into every shot🐈

"I studied from the masters" (shows volumes of Berserk) Excellent taste, I approve

Your drawings are excellent! Now at the end of my life as a commercial artist/illustrator, I am working on line art for comics, but doing it digitally in Clip Studio Paint. But I def admire your control and the expressiveness of your technique, as well as how you vary your tools. New Sub here! Your cat, of course, steals the show. ;)

Fantastic tips, thank you! I’ve been drawing for several years and I’ve never done physical warmups! I’m definitely adding this to my routine!

Beautiful work Chloe, love your style. Sound advice, I’ve just subscribed. I’m sure you’ll be getting many more subscribers! 😊

Oh what a good video! This is an enticing, self-reflected guide, with a lot to chew on afterwards! You described a way to progress that is quite similar to the one I chose to improve my woodworking skillset. I don’t know why — although I love to draw — I never could stick to a plan in which I better my drawing little by little every day. I think I just like to « make » things in 3D.

I love that Berserk is one of the masters that you have studied from. The artwork in that manga is superb!

Great tips, thank you! I'm doing Inktober 52 this year, 1 drawing per week. I added the additional challenge of drawing only birds for each prompt.

Great tips! Many of these I realized myself over time and it's great to see that wisdom is shared with others. I think you could easily expand them all into separate videos so that people understand just how valuable they are

thank you so much for this video, as a beginner i run into many blocks where i don’t know how to progress and sometimes it stops me. then i go on youtube and find videos like this to remind me that the beginning process isn’t going to be magic i need to put the effort in

Definitely useful! Thought provoking for one (me) who hasn't had a plan (beyond a very vague: I should...). So actually this is a great starting for thinking about what I want to do and allows me to consider some more concrete plans.

I Couldnt agree more❤ impressive improvement in ballpoint pen drawing! I've found that experimenting with different shading techniques really enhances the final result. Keep up the fantastic work, 🎉🎉and if you ever want to exchange tips or discuss techniques, connect🖊️

I need to practice more often. I’ll draw for several days in a row, and may not pick up pen and paper for two or three weeks. Your work is beautiful!

I seriously envy you, you have your stuff together. Your mind is so focused and calm!

Lots of wisdom here. Every day that I make drawings for my comic stories I mark it on my calendar. Also I think about trying to draw the same things in different ways. The part of your video I don't think I'm too concerned about is timing myself drawing. It might be that I have to think about that more. Maybe I can never really be all that realistic a drawer as opposed to being a cartoonist so visual shorthand might win out over the idea of getting every button on every jacket right. Trying not to ramble here but I think about this stuff all the time. Thank you for your excellent videos.

What a gorgeous cat ❤ He even looks a little bit like velco 😊. Great tips. Very inspiring. I sent me a notice to watch it again Monday morning and make a plan. Merci!

Three videos in and your channel is already one I eagerly await new releases from… Thanks for doing what you do.

These are great, thanks! Whenever people ask about style I kind of laugh and cringe at the same time. Because like you said, the way you draw just comes out over time, like your handwriting.

Awesome video! Thanks Chloe. Those are very useful tips that I can apply and practice in my drawing project.

Ooh the Berserk collection ❤ also your sketches and drawings are fascinating oh,and the kitty! ❤
