Hi Jim! first off all i'd like to congratz your for your illustrations and drawings. Its amazing! So, i tried to send e-mail for you some days before, but is about your store, in JimWoodring.com. I'm brazilian and i'd like to know if i buy there u send it to here, in brazil?
jim, super long time fan, but drunk and enbittered tonight for no good reasons. please stop usuing that technique where you shade in thick lines that texture everythign and do some more of those rounded things with sahadows. plese. also ou are saweom
im a really addicted fan and i really like the line that you get and i was wondering if you could post on thsi blog the materials u use ie paper pens inks...
Well, anonymous, I can easily tell you exactly what materials I use: HB graphite pencil, Strathmore Series 500 plate finish 2-ply Bristol in pads; acrylic ink (Winsor Newton or FW)and dip pens.
My favorite pen now is a Braus that is shaped like a pointing hand.They are hard to find, unfortunately. It's stiff enough to control but flexible enough for wide line range.Prior to that I used a Hunt Imperial 101, but found it too fine and flexible for this work.
Whatever pen is used I make a reservoir to attach to the underside of the pen to hold more ink without dropping it on the paper. These can be made of wire, aluminum foil or aluminium sheet cut from cans. They make cleaning the pen difficult (and with acrylic ink you have to clean them several times a day; wiping won't do it)but the extended line and fewer trips to the bottle are worth it.
Hi Jim, i really like your imaginations, unique and professional style. Your lines, and textures are very precise and fresh. I am glad to find your blog in the web, and i hope i will see more of your works in the future : )
Someone pushed it in too far.

The friendly touch? This alone was saved.
You tell 'em, champ!
ReplyDeleteMr Woodring, it was wonderful meeting you last night. You were very gracious with this inarticulate fan.

ReplyDeleteYeesh! Testicular chin-hangings and sperm stains on rock formations take me right back to a Grade Seven Field Trip.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and unsettling. Wish I had a vinyl toy of it to snuggle up to.
