Onyx

Blackwork

“The space you leave is part of the design.”

Training concept · AI-generated imagery

The approach

Bold forms.
Purposeful space.

Explore Blackwork through strong shapes and the open areas around them. Onyx helps you plan a readable composition before practicing the edges and fill studies that support it.

What you’ll learn

The details that shape the style.

Design the silhouette

Make the raven or botanical form readable before adding internal texture.

Plan negative space

Use unfilled areas deliberately to separate shapes and guide the eye.

Review edges and fills

Compare edge clarity and consistency in controlled practice-skin exercises.

How we’ll train

Understand. Practice. Refine.

Clear visual comparisons and deliberate, structured practice.

Reduce

Translate a reference into a clear black-and-white shape plan.

Practice

Separate edge-control and fill exercises on artificial skin.

Balance

Review the relationship between solid black, texture and open space.

Your first practice project

The raven silhouette study

Develop a raven with abstract leaves and open channels of negative space. Practice selected edges and fill areas separately before refining the composition.

Who this suits

Learners drawn to strong graphic artwork, high contrast and a structured teaching style.
