Second day in row when I had to find time to draw something for Inktober. There were other things to do. Would be easier to draw these in advance. This was given most effort of these so far. Plan was to keep this simple and minimalistic like others but I felt it needed more. Still trying to figure out how black and white works. Would have been easier with colors but I keep these black and white to learn to use only black and white. Drawn with Clip Studio Paint.
Drawings
Inktober 2022: Bouquet
I don’t like drawing flowers, apples or bowls or anything like that. Not sure if I understood word correctly. Got this after googling the word and briefly checking what others have done. Watched Mike Mignola Drawing Monsters yesterday. I was one of Kickstarter backers. Wanted to express my inner Mignola but today’s prompt wasn’t best possible for it. It was also busy day and other excuses. Original idea was bit different but couldn’t make it work. This was the second idea. Drawn with Clip Studio Paint.
Inktober 2022: Flame
Wanted to keep this as simple and minimalistic as possible. Did few of these until I got something good enough. I thought drawing simple flame was easier. Drawn with Clip Studio Paint.
Inktober 2022: Scallop
Another word I had to google. Without googling I would have drawn something completely different. I know tomorrows word. I don’t know if scallops make pearls but there it is. I am starting to remember how to draw black and white drawings. Maybe I am getting better at this. Drawn with Clip Studio Paint.
Inktober 2022: Le Bat
This is drawing of young Bruce Roadne aka Le Bat. My totally original superhero with no relation to any excising intellectual property. I expect him to become greatest superhero ever created.
I almost forgot to Inktober today. Got too much into music stuff. Might write more about that later. I tried to draw bats but couldn’t make anything I liked enough. Then I got this stupid idea. I have seen others using color but I want to challenge myself with using only black and white. I think it is closer to original spirit of Inktober. Using real ink and pens would be too but I don’t have those. So again Clip Studio Paint.
Inktober 2022: Scurry
I have to confess. I didn’t know what the word meant. Had to google it and check dictionary. This is the idea I got when I saw Finnish translation of the word. Not sure if something was lost in translation. I didn’t have reference. Had to remember how to draw human body and scale of the body parts. Probably have to check them somewhere later. Haven’t drawn without reference for a long time. Should learn it again. Reference just make things faster.
This got me back to techniques I used earlier before I started to do most of shapes with colors. Also got back to familiar brush. Yesterday’s drawing was done with brush I used first time. Wanted to try it and thought it would make drawing better. It didn’t. I used Clip Studio Paint.
