How to ink group run through week 6
-
And saw this flower today. Echinacea. How's this for texture?
-
Not very exciting but I have completed the assignment. On to the extra credit.
-
@demotlj these look really good.
-
@chrisaakins Thanks. I hope Braden decides to do the class on light and shadow next because Iβm totally guessing the cast shadows.

@demotlj These are good!!!

I saw a Great Blue Heron in my yard today holding a very fat gopher in his beak. I stood and watched for a few minutes while the heron proceeded to try and shake the little fatty to death and while the little fatties legs were running wildly in hopes of escape. It took a really long time and I had the thought in my head of the gopher looking at the heron with disgust that he couldnβt just finish it already.
-
@chrisaakins These are really good. I like how you did the wood. I was just using lines but your right, there is a texture of grain lines within the wood lines. Nice job
-
@burvantill thanks!
-
@Erin-Cortese wow this is super impressive!
-
@burvantill Whatβs the end of the story? Did the heron actually eat the gopher? And by gopher, do you mean what we mean here in NY by gopher - a woodchuck? I canβt imagine our herons attempting to eat woodchucks. Iβm so intrigued by this story.
-
@burvantill I feel bad for the gopher , but I love your drawings. I really like the contour lines on the small tree and rootball!
-
@Coley Thank you!!
-
@demotlj He ate it. The gophers in California are bigger than a hamster but smaller than a guinea pig, or the size of a large russet potato . He shook it about for a while until it stopped wiggling then swallowed it whole like he would a fish. Itβs amazing to watch them hunt. They move so slow right up until they strike, almost like a snake. And if they miss they act like a cat that fell off a table, βI totally meant to do thatβ
@Erin-Cortese I think you would feel differently if you could see what they do to your yard. -

We'll see I might do the 'how to draw anything' course since it reinforces a LOT of what we learned here and I think I really need to hammer a lot of this home.
-
I gotta make myself a style sheet for things like rock, wood and such,
-
@Braden-Hallett I'll join just about any class you choose because this has been a great way of learning. Besides, I'm not only learning about drawing, I'm learning about marmots and pocket gophers!
-
Tryin' to put it all together with my dailies
-
This is my last post until October. I am going hiking on mountains. I am bringing a sketchbook so weβll see how much I get accomplished.
Thankyou @Braden-Hallett for starting this group. Iβve had fun and am looking forward everyoneβs inktober projects.
PS Iβm still working out those dang balloons. Lol -
@burvantill Have fun hiking in the mountains!
I'm glad you got a lot out of this course. I think we've all come a long way
