SEPTEMBER CONTEST: Ink Fairy

@Chip-Valecek does black and white mean utterly black and white? Are we allowed to use an inkwash for greys?

Heather Boyd · 7 Sept 2020, 14:56

@Chip-Valecek does it have to be in all ink -could it be mixed a bit?

chrisaakins · 7 Sept 2020, 15:13

@Braden-Hallett last year’s allowed for ink washes. So I’d say go for it.

jsnzart · 7 Sept 2020, 15:16

He said, also "look like ink"!

So, maybe no worries with washes, and mixed media.

Maybe!?

Seems straight forward enough. Almost... TOO straight forward.
cue weeks of second guessing my original, solid, and fun idea

Nyrryl Cadiz · 7 Sept 2020, 19:37

@Chip-Valecek I'd love to make a piece for this one.

Freya Chakour · 7 Sept 2020, 19:51

Love the prompt!!! Hope so much I find the time to participate

Chip Valecek · 8 Sept 2020, 01:13

@Braden-Hallett @Heather-Boyd you can do whatever you want. Just make it look like ink. Here is the slideshow from last years http://cshellmedia.com/clients/svs/penny_dog.html

@Chip-Valecek Hi again everyone. Last month I was not very active here, but i am here now. Subscription is also active so this is my entry for this month.
Good luck.

Hmm sounds like fun! Can’t wait to see what everyone makes. Wonder what this in fairy is going to look like

VeronicaMui · 9 Sept 2020, 16:01

@Dima-Eichhorn I like that she’s got tattoos

Heather Boyd · 9 Sept 2020, 16:09

@Dima-Eichhorn my 8 year old niece likes this.

chrisaakins · 9 Sept 2020, 16:14

@Dima-Eichhorn Ahhh! So that’s what ink fairies do. I may have to tat up my guy, too. Hilarious!

Dima Eichhorn · 9 Sept 2020, 16:42

@chrisaakins yes and please do it. Glad you like it.

Dima Eichhorn · 9 Sept 2020, 16:44

@Heather-Boyd Hi Heather, this is so cool. I am so happy she likes it.

Dima Eichhorn · 9 Sept 2020, 16:54

@VeronicaMui Thanks!

Heather Boyd · 9 Sept 2020, 17:20

@Dima-Eichhorn My niece is pretty good at art for her age and I have introduced her to watercolour, gouache, pencil crayon qualities, oil pastel, acrylic, and shown her my soft pastels.

silvialcg · 10 Sept 2020, 19:57

@Dima-Eichhorn I love it! Beautiful design and shading but wasn’t it meant to be fully black and white?

Hi! I'm Scharon, here is my version of the Ink Fairy. I am not a student at SVS (though I hope to be in the near future) but was so inspired by the contest that I decided to share my sketch. I figured the Ink Fairy probably needs some life-experience if she's gonna protect ink and bring creativity to all, that's why she's old, for wisdom you know :))

Lovsey · 11 Sept 2020, 07:06

Hi @Scharon! I love your take on the ink fairy concept, especially that she is elderly and part bird - amazing. Is that a ferret she is riding? So cute!
