That couch looks familiar...
Nate-
It's so awesome that you are getting regular Mercury work! Does the ink-wash stuff reproduce well in the paper? It sure is lookin good online...
@joseph: yep, that's yer couch. a beauty, and fun to draw.
@alec: i agree, i'm so into doing newspaper illustrations. i dig having a specific thing to draw.. maybe it's my calling. who knows?
i think the ink washes turn out fine. the last drawing i did, of Slash, turned out pretty fuzzy -- but i'm not sure if it was from the fact that i had to shoot it with my camera instead of scan it.
Yeah Nate! Editorial Illustration--you found your calling! :)
My only thought would be that since it's on newsprint, the whites might be greyed down so you'd lose some of the (beautiful) tonality. Even without the snap of white pixels shown above, it looks pretty good in the photo off of the paper!
