You ghost only in one way. So you ghost (faster) from point A to point B, then slowly come back to the starting point. You can do that as many time as it takes. Once you're ready, you can also slowly put your pen down, then cut the paper like a samurai. The priority is having a sexy line. Hitting the mark comes after. Stopping at the mark is the third priority (try not to stop but to lift the pen instead).
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, that pretty much makes a lot of sense to me. One question I have though - would that increase tapering in my line work if I were to lift the pen instead of stopping at the mark? And is this okay, or not?
It does, and that's ok. That's what Uncomfortable recommends anyways. It is better having some tapering in your line work than having a curvy, wobbly, end to your line.
Alright then. Thanks for your time.
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
