the preliminary stuff that started my modern tribal traditional thingy original work here

weapons of choice: staedtler mechanical pencil, pigment liners, gold leaf and matte medium to set it, winsor newton india ink in burnt sienna (that i spilled all down the spine of the sketchbook making it look uber hardcore and used and sketchy XD), mini metallic brads (those funny studs in the second one’s head wrap)

basically did this to test out how the gold leaf handled and if i could pull off the ink along with all the other business. the ink didn’t take but i’d definitely like to do some more traditional experimentation with it!
