A couple of years ago I fell in love with ink on paper. I mostly drew semi-realistic portraits from reference pictures with a fineliner and lots of crosshatching. Over time I developed something like a style of my own, but I also felt the urge to work more loosely. So I changed my fineliner for a fountainpen and tried lots of different approaches to get something on paper. I also changed the subjects of my drawings. And then I discovered watercolors.

Today, for old times sake, I went back to my original semi-realistic style, but I wondered what watercolors would add to the picture. So here is a combination of rigid and loose, realistic and abstract.

I think this grumpy old man approves.

Portrait drawing in ink of an elderly man with a slightly disgruntled expression. Crosshatching is used to give depth to the drawing, but on top of that also watercolors are added, mostly ochre, yellow and sienna. Indigo as shadow color. The background was made with loads of water and some paynes grey dropped into it.

Yes, absolutely worth the hassle. There is really not much of a hussle.
1) It is better to use a demonstrator (clear body) pen for those inks as shimmer particles will settle on the bottom of the liquid (if you keep your pens in horisontal position than on a pens side) and every time you want to use your pen just move it around a little to put shimmer back into the liquid. Don't shake it hard.
2. For a better flow - medium nibs or larger.
