Drawings and other works of an amateur artist, and reviews of the pens, pencils, inks, and other tools used to create them.

Not only is Fight Club one of my all-time favorite movies, it was also a pretty incredible book. A lot of the effect of the movie was in its use of imagery. The lighting and coloring of the movie was especially effective in adding to its overall grittiness. I tried to capture some of the intensity and danger that Brad Pitt's character conveyed throughout the film. As usual, I figured stark black and white was the best way to go. I swear that I intend to use color in the very near future. Just waiting for the right inspiration to come along.
While I did use my Rotring 500 for this, I also branched out and used a new (to me, I purchased them on eBay) set of Koh-I-Noor Rapidographs for the outlining and detail coloring. I really like these technical pens for the fine lines that you can create, and the thick, dark ink. I will be doing a more in-depth review of these, and comparing them to the previous drawing pens I have used. Since this picture required large areas of all black, I again went to my Copic Sketch Marker. The brush-like tip on these is perfect for filling big areas quickly.
