I just came home from a life drawing session. I was flattered by all the comments and attention my art received. It’s encouraged me to sign up and keep posting work myself. Thanks!

Did you, by any chance, use ink to paint this? I'm into fountain pens, and this almost looks like the iron gall blue-black that I use.
This was painted with ultramarine blue fluid acrylics, but I usually use sumi ink
How did you get the various shades? Or does that paint do that naturally? I'm not a painter, so forgive me if that's a dumb question.
Not a dumb question at all. The variation of shades comes from the amount of water mixed into it. But I can also get some variation from how much I push down on the brush.
