Week 20/Week 1 of Inktober
Not much response this week from you all- too many subjects to choose from? Different time frame? I had to start this series of prompts on a Thursday due to Inktober starting on October 1st, but I hoped that would give you the weekend to work on your ideas. If you have done something please try and send to me today or at the very latest early Thursday morning Melbourne time.
To inspire here are some works, one from me, and another from KM. And an update from KKat.
Me: Rodent
This was done with Inktense wash followed by Staedler Mars Black Pigment liners on Lana Cold Press paper. A friendly black rat.
KM: Blade
KM found this week challenging with the wide choice of prompts, but in the end chose 'Blade'. She also challenged herself by only allowing 1 hour to do the drawing in. This is a great way to hone your observation and drawing skills KM! Giving yourself a tight timeline means you focus on essential elements and design and don't get too bogged down in finicky detail work.
Created on cold press paper KM has used Derwent colour pencils to draw the grass and moss overgrownbrick spoon drain in her yard - interpreting the grass as 'Blade'. For the ink part of her drawing she has used brown and black fine line pens as well as a Faber Castell connector green pen to accentuate the details.
This is great little drawing KM. I like the composition, especially the long blade of grass trailing down. Gives the work an interesting design. The perspective on the bricks is NQR, but the shapes are good and tell the story. Plus the little detail touches of moss work well. A good drawing that shows a creative way to describe 'blade'.
KKat: Rodent
KKat has just sent in this delightful little rat drawing so I will quickly update this post to include it. This cheeky little fellow has been dipping his tail into something tasty - a barrel of molassas perhaps - but he sure looks happy. Drawn on Daler Rowney 150gsm cartridge paper 148 x 130mm in size with a Unipin fineline .05 and a Staedtler pigment liner .10
A very cute cartoon style ink work, KKat - it looks like you had fun drawing him!
