This one didn’t turn out as good as I wanted. He’s one of my favorite video game characters. I really have to practice my shading a lot more. His face is all wrong too. This was the first time I’ve tried shading cloth…that turns out to be extra hard (for me). Cloud was still fun to draw but needs a lot more work. Trying new things and getting better is what Inktober is all about though, so this was good practice.
This is a maned seahorse. I ran across a photo of one online while looking for today’s Inktober prompt of “underwater”. This little guy looked awesome, so I decided to try drawing him. I used all Copic multiliners for this one (in addition to sketching with a Prismacolor Col-Erase pencil). I’m not great at texturing nor shading, but even so, this is still one of my favorite drawings in recent memory.
Another Christopher Hart one today. I like these because it’s quick to sketch and I can try out new tools/techniques. This was my first time inking with a dip pen. It was an interesting experience. The ink takes longer to dry than my other pens and I ended up smearing some in the bottom right. My hatching isn’t the best either, but it was fun to give it a whirl.
