This is a new style I'm trying out, after my recent purchase of a natural fibers-filled sketchbook, their dark pages begging to me to try something new. I start with my regular ballpoint pen sketch, then take a white mess of acrylics to highlight, and sometimes darken the darks with black washes. Not extremely difficult, but fun nonetheless.
On a side note, I can say that even after watching hours of YouTube videos on digital painting, I'm fairly confident that some of what I do I could replicate digitally in Photoshop. But the heart's just not there. I know. I've tried. For me, nothing replaces the feel of ballpoint pen on paper. It's like my love/hate relationship with digital books. The idea is fantastic...but for me, nothing beats turning an actual page.
