This is an ink drawing of a crane after some Chinese brushwork piece by artist Nanrae.
I used a black ink brush pen, my Kuretake Light Grey and Geranium Red BrushWriters, and applied gold paint with a brush.

Ah, Ganesha. A favourite subject! I’ve drawn it two or more times before so I don’t need any sketch underneath anymore.
I used a flat brush and black Sumi ink. The thinner the ink in the brush the more the strokes look like pencil, but it’s all brush and ink! I used a Geranium Red ink brushpen from Kuretake for the scarf.

Quick work without any sketch.
I used burnt sienna Holbein Artists’ gouache, and a green ink brush pen from Sketchbox.

Black ink brush pen, red acrylic paint and a touch of mustard coloured paint on the beak and feet of the bird.
