How to ink group run through week 6

@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. It’s 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, “I totally meant to do that”
@Erin-Cortese I think you would feel differently if you could see what they do to your yard.

@chrisaakins Thanks. I hope Braden decides to do the class on light and shadow next because I’m totally guessing the cast shadows.

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.

[braden H]

I gotta make myself a style sheet for things like rock, wood and such,

[demotlj]

@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!

[braden H]

Tryin' to put it all together with my dailies

[burvantill]

This is my last post until October. I am going hiking on mountains. I am bringing a sketchbook so we’ll see how much I get accomplished.
Thankyou @Braden-Hallett for starting this group. I’ve had fun and am looking forward everyone’s inktober projects.
PS I’m still working out those dang balloons. Lol

[braden H]

@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

[demotlj]

My extra credit homework — a drawing of my grand-niece. Still not completely happy with the face but it was good practice inking. (In Procreate)

[demotlj]

@burvantill Love this work. Have fun hiking.

[DaveLeekArt]

@Erin-Cortese amazing work! These all look so good.

[chrisaakins]

@burvantill @Erin-Cortese @Braden-Hallett @demotlj @Coley @Bricz-Art @xin-li @Aleksey and anyone else! Bryan the girl now has a class on cross hatching in SVS learn! Remember when we were all frustrated with hatching? Way back when...

[braden H]

@chrisaakins I'm gonna check out that course sooner rather than later!

I think from day to day I'm gonna pick a texture to work on and apply it to all the shapes.

Maybe I'll make the shapes bigger...

[Erin.Cortese]

@burvantill I know what you mean about the gophers, this summer I found myself yelling at rabbits for stealing my pea seedlings. I probably sounded like a maniac!

[Erin.Cortese]

@chrisaakins Wow, thanks for sharing! I follow Bryanthegirl and absolutely love her work!

[Erin.Cortese]

@Bricz-Art Thank you, this is the first time I have been committed to working at the same task in illustration every single day!

[Erin.Cortese]

Round 2 texture...
These exercises are all referenced from the aforementioned book, wish I could say they were my own. It has been really great to work from reference, it frees up my brain to really zone in on the line work!

[xin li]

Keep messing around with the sumie brush. There is a lot of different textures can be achieved, and I am scratching the surface of it.
These are from yesterday and today.

[ArtofAleksey]

@Erin-Cortese you should draw yourself yelling at rabbits. Rabbits are conspiring against all of us i tell you!

Yeah im definitely gonna check out that hatching course. Right now im penciling comic trying to stay ahead of inktober at the same time.

[Erin.Cortese]

@Aleksey :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: I agree, they are taking over my neighbourhood

[ArtofAleksey]

@Erin-Cortese hmm... rabbit stew is starting to sound more and more appealing..
