After drawing out a portrait of Carl Barat (left portrait) I decided to experiment with a different medium, inking. Therefore I used a Lightbox to help ink over the original drawing on a separate piece of paper so that I didn't ruin the original drawing if this was to go wrong but to also compare the different mediums.
This image shows an early stage of the inking as you can see parts of the outline developing, mainly focusing around the shirt areas to get to grips with inking as this wouldn't be too disastrous if I was to go wrong.
The image above displays the progress I have made from the previous image, showing that I have near enough completed inking the hair which was the most time consuming part due to the separate strands. The image also shows that I have started to make progress in terms of inking the face area.
This image shows a close up of the detail made when inking the face area which also shows the hair is now completed. The image also includes the separate piece of paper which I have used to create lines before attempting to ink the different parts of the portrait so that I can prevent any mistakes from occurring.
This shows that I have now successfully completed inking the portrait of Carl Barat. The inking process was time consuming although this wasn't as time consuming as drawing because I had the drawing for reference. However the inking process was time consuming due to trying to be precise when inking the detail areas, especially the hair and the stubble as these both involved individual lines. However I found exploring this medium useful as this allows me to compare the different outcomes in terms of drawing and inking. I have also thought of using the inked version as a possible approach when designing the final album cover.
