Inktober

Oct 14, 2023

Pen, ink and a little bit of mess.

October, or as some say Inktober is here. So, I decided to get in on the action this time, grab a pen, some paper and complete some inked artwork.
 
It’s been a while since I have worked on a drawing board and not digitally using CLIP STUDIO PAINT. But the drawing board is where I started a long time ago and always enjoy coming back to it.

Inktober Pumpkinhead 2023

For some reason whenever I think of drawing a Halloween picture it tends to be a man with a pumpkin head, this time was no different.

Before that, I spent some time on a stream art redeem which in some ways contributed to my need for more ink lines and cross hatching. 

This was fun! Very much enjoyed drawing the big cats.

The last piece I managed to finish was a Pokémon gift art piece of Umbreon using acrylic paints. I kept the image or pose itself simple focusing mostly on the mixing and blending of the paint and not knocking over the glass of water next to me. 

One thing I noticed very quickly is the mess I made around me compared to drawing digital. But admit that drawing traditionally has a nice relaxation to it compared to working digital.

With a few pictures already done this month. I feel I must turn my attention back to the web comic. The last session was used to play around with the lettering style, font size and the color of the word balloons. The next step will be to finalize the next parts of the script before starting the panel mockups and layout sketches.
