Inktober 4 prompts for Week 23
JD for Week 22: Sleep
I recieved ths lovely bedroom scene from JD late yesterday. Created on A3 Eraldo Di Paolo 300gsm HP with watercolour pencils Prismacolour and Derwent. Ink in Uni Fineliner black 0.2, Light grey 0.1 and Sepia 0.1.
JD says she was tempted to add some in shadows but was a bit scared so left it as this clean, white image. She also feels the doona needs more work. My feeling on both these issues is to leave the work as is - it is looking good. The light pencil wash shading in the walls gives enough tones and sets off the white doona well. The clean lines are simple and elegant - it is minimalist and this is succesful. I don't think you should touch the doona, it works as a white space and draws the eye. However, if you wish to learn more about folds and fabrics study some Durer prints for ideas.
