Gnome bugrider.

Bugs can be used as very effective beasts of burden for the tiny forest gnomes.

What tools do you use to make art like this? It’s so cool. I love everything about it!

I use ink which I drop onto the drawing paper first, then I use paper towels to dry off and smudge it a bit, then look for shapes in the ink to work with.

Oh nvm my question, I didn't see previous comments.

Well done!

Oh very nice!

I don't know if I'd ride that kind of bug, but apparently it's not bugging the gnome.

Is it done digitally or tradi?

Thank you for your kind words! It's Traditional, I don't have the tools for digital art.

Scary! Was that intended?

Looks really cool!

It's a big bug, so I would say it was intended indeed! And thank you!

Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens

Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.

Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
