Materials: wax and ink on paper, A4
Time: about 90 minutes
It has been forever that I wanted to try out this technique. So I lit a candle and used a rather small paintbrush to paint the white wax on the paper. I had to use very quick brush strokes, so the hot wax wouldn´t cool on the paintbrush itself. After the wax was dried, I used a pipette to drop the ink on the top of the paper and watched the droplets run down the paper. But I have to admit I also used a paintbrush to color in the face and the body at first to make sure the guy itself turned out recognizable. At first I thought of ironing the whole paper, to draw the wax out, but then I liked the little droplets on the wax itself, so I left it on.
Also, I made a red cross in the calendar for this was one of the very few occasions I drew a male character
