8″x8″ dark brown dip pen and ink wash on Aquabord

Steampunk artwork, created by first drawing with dip pen and ink, and then shading it using a wash of the same ink.

This is what I got when I decided to combine a pocket watch, a raven, and a gas lamp.  It seems like it’s always time for a new pocket watch, and a raven always appreciates a pretty trinket.

The Line Art stage:

After drawing the sketch I waited a day and re-drew the raven before inking.
