Soda can

Soda can

Here’s a wacom based sketch in Inkscape of an off brand soda can. I used the calligraphy tool exclusively, varying the width of the lines thick to thin as I worked. I really love how the buildup occurs in translucent lines. It’s like working with wet pastels or watercolor crayons, but with the ability to easily erase or modify the lines. A very fun and forgiving technique.
