SEPTEMBER CONTEST: Design a character for Inktober!
-
-
@K-Flagg This is incredible! And the Classic Cartoonist brush is my go to for digital as well. It's pretty much perfect for how I work, and it looks like it's hitting the sweet spot for you as well!
-
@ajillustrates thank you so much. Yeah it's my go to now.
-
In the last critique arena they mentioned the format would be changing.. is that for this month as well? Just curious what it will look like
-
@LauraA I have know some comic artists to do their line work in pencil and then use a program like Photoshop to darken the value enough that it looks like it might have been inked. Just an idea if you still want to use pencil.

@Annaaronson I'm curious about this too, as I haven't been able to see the critique arena in live stream this summer, and no new recordings seem to be available after May 2021 for me. I feel way behind.
-
@ajillustrates Agreed. Love the line art for this and the character design!
-
@AustinShurtliff Thanks for replying. Lately I have been doing my work with a modified Kyle hi res pencil and do the values either with digital watercolor or with Kyle's gouache a go go and /or some collage textures. In this case, my character has hair that in my opinion would look better done with a pencil/charcoal texture and so far I've been using gouache a go go, which is a gouache but looks more like crayon to me. I like the effect and don't want to change it, but don't know what the judges will think.
And then there's the matter of whether I can finish it, considering all the non art things I've had to catch up on this month. Hope so!

@KathrynAdebayo Beautiful!

@jdeebella Love this!
-
@KGatto Thank you, Kim. I love your work!
-
@LauraA I hope you can get it finished!

This is my first of three character sheets for Inktober. I have not posted it to critique arena yet, because I want to decide which to submit once I finish the other two. These characters are from a middle grade novel I am currently working on. I decided to draw them for Inktober because I need to flesh them out a bit. -
@KGatto Thank you
I had quite some fun. -
@jenithornhill Cute design! I especially love the running pose, the stripy pants so suit him. I believe we can submit more then 1 entry for the contest, can't wait to see the other 2 of yours.

@aurelia Oh it would be great if I can enter more than one. I am afraid I won't be able to choose! Thank you!
-
@KGatto sorry for the delay, but
yes, you can use one spot color! -
@Frogpunzel yep, gray is ok!
