Some asked if I did commissions. “If someone asks and they understand that time is money.”

Then they said “spiderweb.” They had my attention. That’s a negative space project where what you don’t draw is more important than what you do draw.

I went looking for a video to see how other people might be handling it but found nothing. Tried looking for pen and ink examples from professionals and also came up empty. I have found a hole in the internet. I hate holes in the internet.

Rough draft to prove out some concepts. I learned a few things from this and will use them on a second draft. I might have to go bigger and darker to get it right. And it needs more foreground. But it’s a fully finished rough, so I have that going for me. Which is something.

If you know of high skill examples or have any suggestions I want them in the comments.

    That makes sense. If there are plants above, consider framing a bit of them in for the final version, or change the web layout to match what’s there. Spiders make do with all sorts of wonky areas, after all!

    Again, I really love what you’re doing here, I hope you’ll post more.
