more bamboo calligraphic pen drawings

bamboo calligraphic pen + photoshop. Was trying out creating the midtones in photoshop instead. It does simulate paint to a good degree i think.

I love the subtle textures and the powerful midtones you've created.
Do you make your own brushes in Photoshop?

I've only tried making brushes once or twice before. it can be quite fun. But I got these brushes with textures from a friend. the brushes only achieve this effect after i used "threshold" on them (to flatten the colour. makes it look more like a screen print). I've yet to experiment with this technique further.

Heya Andrew, thank you for the interesting info! I've never heard of that threshold technique before, it certainly does create a great effect. Looking forward to seeing more!
