      @Gary-Wilkinson values and due to that readability is much better than in your digital first draft.

        It's been awesome seeing everyone's entries! Here's mine. I wanted to approach this illustration as an extension of my Inktober 52 series - just my brush pen and linework (with a little digital cleanup right at the end ;))

          Hi! Here is my entry for this month ๐Ÿ™‚ I wanted to try and make a few spot illustrations. Not perfect but it was fun! I inked them on watercolour paper and added the text in photoshop. Everyone's entries are sooo good! Good luck to you all!
          Now back to Inktober prep ๐Ÿ˜

                This is my submission for the September contest.
                I really like the prompt, it gave me some very fun ideas.
                And I got to brush up on my ink work.
                Thanks everyone for participating in SVSLearn! This is such a great community.
                I love seeing all of your submissions.

                    This was a challenge! My first time using ink washes. Learned a lot! This was done on arches watercolor paper, with Higgins ink and micron pens, with my text done in procreate. Love seeing everyoneโ€™s work! 0BD4F8B1-C875-40C1-BC8F-ED4C0E01C966.jpeg

                      Love the idea of an ink fairy working behind the scenes to better our illustrations!

                                  @Gary-Wilkinson Thanks! I wanted to hint that she's having a good dream, maybe that she's actually met the Ink Fairy instead of falling asleep again.

                                      Made a book spread my ink fairy!
                                      Since this was digital, I tried to keep everything to what I could manage with black and white pens, though I might have gone a little wild with all the ink washes for this challenge... But I'm happy with how it turned out! โ˜บ

                                          They used to call them the "Ink fairies". They striked in the foggy nights. After numerous succesfull "shoppings" for ink supplies police finally managed to stop them. Thanks to a local insomiac Ellie Dickins who also appeared to be an amateur photographer.
