Das Boot am Strand


If you're following my blog at all, you've probably noticed I've been doing a lot of work using hard lines lately. I'm using a fairly basic brush in Photoshop to accomplish this. It's simply a solid black brush with shape dynamics responding to the pressure of the pen on the tablet... meaning that when I press harder the line gets wider. It's not unlike sketching with a Sharpie marker. I really like the effect of the bold strokes, but it isn't easy to work with as every minor flaw in every stroke is accentuated by darkness of the line.
