Very impressive. I really like the fox. Well done.

Both look great but I really like the elk.

I wish I had your talent.

Beautiful!
Could you please tell us more about the process than “ink”?
Would like to know more about what you do and how!

Sure, I use a Daler- Roweny Inks , with small 000-#2 brushes , Inks are very thin , translucent-opaque. I work by layering tones , use translucent washes. I'll use an acrylic varnish with the inks to create barriers between the tones to achieve depth.
The raccoon is a old painting to give you an idea, this took me the longest of any painting I've done about 250 hours, 18x24

Talent gets you to the easel. Skill makes a painting.

If you do a run of those fox prints, I'll eagerly take one. Absolutely lovely!

Thank you for your explanation.
I dabble in watercolor, but far, far away from the talent you have.
Wonderful work!

The fox is amazing, let me know if you do end up running prints

Concur there is something very cool about that fox. I can feel the icy wind blowing in that one. Beautiful work!

That raccoon detail is flat amazing!
I have not the talent nor the patience unfortunately
