When I was planning to do a pen and ink drawing of a jellyfish I knew it was going to be a much harder challenge than if I were to use paint due to the translucent quality of the animal. With paint you have the added option of colour, which can be used to build up the layers and create that essential 3D effect with relative ease. With only a nib and some black ink however, this is a very hard effect to achieve as I was soon to find out.
It's taken a few days but I finally finished the drawing last night - you can judge for yourself whether you think I have achieved my goal but for a first attempt I'm quite pleased with the outcome.
Over the next few days I plan to work on my website, building up the content and including different sections for my art work so keep checking back for further updates!
