Inktober 2020 - Week 1

@Norman-Morana Nice lines! Is that charcoal?

[Norman Morana]

Thank you, @danielerossi these are all ink on the rabbit one I used a sea sponge, rough brushes, and a small pallet knife.

[danielerossi]

@Norman-Morana No way! It looks so much like charcoal. I’m really impressed. If I’m understanding correctly, you used a rough brush to ink then dabbed it with a sea sponge? That’s a great effect.

Inktober Day 3!
Closing out the week with a prompt. We got a bulky cat over here.

[Norman Morana]

@danielerossi Thats right! I start with the sponge, then brush, then each as needed. I also have test sheets of the same paper next to me where I'll make marks until I'm happy. It's close to dry brushing. I'm also using a white ink, but I'm not mixing them for greys. Happy you're digging the technique

Don't know if this counts, but it's what I went with:
Day Three - Bulky

I'm pretty pleased with how this came out! I spent less time on rendering with this one, and more time on linework. I like the general look and design of this Castle Robot, but there are some places where the limb connection is wonky (I'm looking specifically at the right shoulder and his left leg/knee). I'm also not sure if the water level should be lower, as I get a little confused as to which lines represent the lower legs and which represent the river water.

@Norman-Morana This prompted going down a rabbit hole starting with a few of the new inking tutorials here then onto YouTube ending with me fishing my old dip pen nibs. It’s now a few hours later!

One big BULKY Viking.

@Jeremy-Ross I like how you added the prompt list!

Once again I tried 2 versions of inking: my dip pen and copic markers. This is a porter in Bolivia who carries these immense loads up and down the streets (and mountainside) all day.

And my daughter's:

Thanks @danielerossi! It’s so satisfying checking the box.
