Week 22: Silke, Jean and a Reminder

 Inktober Week 3

Silke: Outpost, Rocket, Storm

With imagination and clever composition Silke has combined 3 of the prompts into one drawing. No Mr.Bulky seen, although he might be piloting that rocket ship!  Fineliner, black Japanese brush pen, grey Ecoline brushpen, watercolor pencils in the Handbook watercolour book that is opened flat to create a panoramic vision of a rocket landing at an outpost on one of Jupiters Moons. I love the Red Spot on Jupiter, a subtle way to show Storm.

This is a creative and interesting response to these prompts. Nicely done Silke!

Jean: Sleep

Jean's technique and handling of this medium really suit her style of drawing. Here she has chosen Sleep as the prompt and created a lovely ink work of her snoozing cat, Shani. Loose and expressive washes with Windsor and Newton ink has created soft fur texture. Just enough and not overworked. Pilot Fineliner pen adds touches of detail. All done on Arches 300gsm HP paper. Jean, you have captured the essential 'cat' with minimal brush work, nothing is overstated, every line or brush mark does it's job to create a beautiful work
