RMweb Premium Metropolitan H Posted February 29, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 29, 2020 Probably an "Unreliable memory" - I wasn't 3 when Grandfather took Dad and me into New England loco and up to the coaling tower to board 60103 for my first cab-ride. The last bit is true. Regards Chris H 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Smith Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Nice work. I see you have some Prismacolor. They lay down well and are easy to blend but quite hard to sharpen. I have a set of Prismacolor Verithins which are much harder and sharpen well but less dense. I tend to use a mix of both plus Artstix which are just solid core material and good for covering large areas. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo666 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Many years ago when I should have been studying for my exams I would take a break from the books by drawing or sketching. I tried pencil, pens and watercolours at various stages, just to have a go. The 'Original' here is an ink pen on tracing. I knew I wanted a sepia finish and there would be a lot of black, which would have seriously taken a mind-numbing about of time and would have crumpled the paper. So I used a technique where red / orange film comes out black when run through a dyeline printer (used in architectural and engineering offices). When it is printed in a Dyeline printer with sepia paper this is what you get. Tones have faded on the paper over time and the edges between the ink and film is just about noticeable now, but when I did this back in the late 70s it looked better. Taking the photo of the drawing into Photoshop to tidy it up it looks better (I should have really scanned the original print, not used a photo of it). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not keen on Verithins - they are too hard for me. I started with Karisma pencils but they went out of business a few years ago, which is a shame.

Florence Locomotive Works Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Not exactly railway, but still steam. It’s a pencil drawn Babcock boiler, labeled “Women’s Suffrage” as we had to do a drawing for school relating to the subject. The supposed to be genderless individual firing the boiler is labeled “Seneca Falls”, after the famous suffrage convention of that name.
