Inktober 2018- Part 2

This week I tried to 'paint' with ink. Still focusing on value study, but I couldn't resist using my paint brushes to have some fun.

The clown fish was drawn with Sailor STORia Lion Light Brown ink. Jane Blundell from Australia recommended the ink but I haven't been able to find a good use of it. When sketching I still go for my black ink.

Inktober 2018 - part 1

Inktober2018

I've known about Inktober for a couple of years but never really participated fully. I might have done some doodling and drawings but that was it. This year I wanted to use Inktober as an opportunity to practice value study.

I started one week late because my sister and nephew came to visit me in Taipei. I thought about sketching my nephew while he was playing but it was almost impossible to see a 2-year-old staying in one spot long enough for me to finish the silhouette.

Anyway, using the official prompt list, I have completed my first week of Inktober 2018. My reflection so far? It's not too difficult to draw everyday as I'm not making big drawings and I'm not sticking with urban sketching. But it takes some creative thinking to come up with something that matches the prompt of the day!
