This illustration is printed on one of the most beautiful papers available right now from Hahnemuhle, a professional line of papers for artists.
*This paper in particular is called Torchon and it has a lovely textured surface.
*The weight is 285 gsm, which means that it is a thick and resistant paper with professional archival grade.
* It is acid free, exceeds ISO Standard 9706.
*My printer is a professional Cannon i9900, which carries eight cartridges of different colors of archival ink.
The print looks like an original tempera paint, very delicate and subtle and the colors come out so pure. The print is signed and dated with tiny letters on the lower right corner.
About the process:
I first have a general idea of what I want the illustration to be. Then I draw different sketches on smooth Bristol paper; which is my favorite for this kind of work. I start carefully drawing with a 2B pencil until I am happy with what I see. Then I define the drawing with fine lines of ink (my pen is a Finepoint System .2, very fine) and I erase the pencil to leave a clean and nice surface. I next scan the drawing to my computer and finally I color it digitally using Photoshop and this tablet with a digital pen that is connected to the computer for more control.
I pack and ship this print professionally and promptly.
