Wow first of all I'd just like to say thank you for all the love I got on this inverted ballpoint pen piece in the last few days!! 🥺

I got the inevitable wave of people asking me how I made it and lucky for y'all I had to take a lot of progress pictures to make this so I'm making a post about how I drew this!

See more under the cut!

Starting off of course we have the sketch of our subject in pencil

Then, following the inverted version of my reference image I slowly start building up layers of inverted colour. What I'm drawing irl is on the left, and the inverted version of that is on the right.

You can tell I was nervous at first not wanting to mess it up lol

This piece really helped me grasp the importance of undertones in a way I never have before

Here I started getting Really excited about how it was gonna turn out I couldn't believe I was making this with my own 2 hands

Believe it or not working in inverted colours with ballpoint pen is actually 10x easier than working in normal colours because with ballpoint pen once you've added too much ink you can't undo it you can't make it any lighter, but when you're going to invert the image at the end it's a lot more forgiving because the dark areas become the bright areas when it's inverted!

Don't get me wrong though it took a lot of focus and like brain power to draw in inverted colours, it was like learning how to ride a backwards bicycle, it took all my concentration to not follow my brains natural instincts and muscle memory when it came to creating the colours I wanted to create 😵‍💫

Nearly finished at this point, just needed some colour adjustments

The final check for the colours before I added the finishing touches and scanned the final piece and voila!!

You have an inverted ballpoint pen tiger 🤯 It's really not as hard as it looks, it's just a lot of layering and a lot of patience 🙏🙏

I had like 15 more progress pictures but unfortunately I can only upload 10 pictures in a post so I tried to order them in a way that showed the most key points in my process 😅 If you have any questions feel free to ask I love helping out fellow artists learn new skills!!

Gorgug Presents: Welding PPE

Because it is fun to filter new knowledge through characters you love!

I have no idea how tumblr will do with image quality, should be better if you click on it

PPE stands for Personal Protective Equipment

PPE is meant to be the last line of defense for employees, for if there is no way to remove hazardous conditions through other levels of protection, such as switching materials.

Disclaimer: This is meant to be educational to an extent, and I did go over my class notes in the creation of this. However, this is not extensive and does not cover all possible information about different types of welding PPE.

Text in brackets was not in the diagram but added due to importance.

Welding Helmet

Fixed shade or auto-darkening

Necessary shade depends on welding process, auto-darkening allows for easier switching, however often less sturdy and costs more

Ear Plugs

Safety Glasses

ANSI Z87

MUST be worn under welding helmet

*[Side protection is necessary]*

Note: this is for a work environment in which respiratory hazards are being removed via ventilation system. If this is not the case, separate respiratory guidelines must be followed.

Ready to weld!!

they way Penei has gone from hood up villain mode in the preseason to big smiles with Tate... Tate says Penei does "the most impressive things ive ever seen in my life"...he says hes insanely lucky to play with Penei...and the inherent homoeroticism of literally being double team partners shoulder to shoulder!! @aberfaeth you get me.
