Inktober 2020 - Week 2

Day 10: Molly Weasley. The thing about doing a large piece like this for Inktober is that I know that "glue" drawings like this won't get the same level of social love as the rest, but that's just part of the grind

Throw. More like let go. A nod to Edward Gorey and Wes Anderson

@xin-li I’m happy to help give it a shot, that would be fun I’m trying to think how to start this process. I think some things to think about ahead of time would be to determine what kind of marks you want to make and which is closer to that right now, your digital or traditional work. And from there looking to references of other works.

@Cayleen You did great hands! Isn't it exciting when something like a hand works out?

[Leah Boulet]

@Doodleworx Like the frogs! Does the sign say hope?

Day 10 - Hope

My brain went straight to "hoping for rain". This happened a lot during the summer as we had another that was more hot and dry than normal. The gardens were often parched. We'd water for an hour and it would quickly disappear deep into the ground. I am totally enjoying everyone's artwork. It is so interesting where everyone's thoughts go when they think of a word.

Day 10-Hope ... and I hope I make it through the month! I love seeing everyone's ideas and how they present them. I am learning that I need to spend more time to find where my strengths lie. I enjoy pencil and watercolor but would like to be able to work out this "ink" thing - be it "ink" ink or digital ink. For Hope, I remembered back to my childhood days.

Hi, @Chris-W I love your sense of humor. Thanks for sharing.

Inktober Day Ten - Hope

During the American Civil War (and other wars of this era) soldiers would look to their flag for order and hope. If the flag fell, moral would be lost and an unorganized retreat and/or defeat would usually follow suit.
Using this premise, I drew some Union soldiers charging at off-page Confederates.

I have mixed feelings about this piece.
I added the color blue, so the viewer would know that all the characters on the page are on the same side, but I don't think the cross-hatch rendering style fits this piece all that well.
I like the flag, but I think the way I represented the grass/upper ground causes a lack of depth in the piece. Perhaps I'll try something more simple for tomorrow.

(If you don't know what the bottom left soldier is doing, he is reloading his rifle, an action that took nine steps to complete! Currently, he's tearing off the top of a small bag/pouch with his teeth. That bag contains the gunpowder that would be poured into the rifle barrel, followed by the bullet itself (followed by several other steps))
