It is almost over. One more to go. Today’s prompt was easy. This is reference to Gear Acquisition Syndrome. Some people spend more time planning new gear purchases than using gear they already have. Not me. I don’t have that problem.
So I made colored version of today’s drawing. This is Inktober’s first bonus drawing. There will be second one. How well this works depends on quality of your screen. I draw this on art screen which should show accurate colors. It didn’t look as good on my surfing monitor. Probably need to stop trying to get perfect colors because it doesn’t work on every screen. It seems to be same thing as with mixing with good speakers. If you get everything just perfect it doesn’t work well on not so good speakers.
This was last prompt requiring some thinking. Did version of there is always a bigger fish. I probably need to do this with colors later. It is hard to make it look 3D with black and white only. With colors you can use less saturated colors and less contrast. I tried to do it with thinner lines. Two more to go. Or one if I cheat and use already drawn bonus drawing as last drawing.
I have been considering new 61 keys midi keyboard. Last night I remembered I still have 61 key Axiom Pro. Out of sight, out of mind. It is my favorite keyboard. Got it from storage. I still like it and looks like I get enough DAW control from it. Would be playing with it if it wasn’t Inktober. Good thing today’s prompt was simple one. Didn’t have to think what I draw. I will write more about Axiom Pro later.
Failed attempt to draw cartoonish kid. I never draw something like this. Wanted to try this time. Four more to go. I wonder how anyone can do this if they put serious effort into each day’s drawing. I understand drawing things you like daily. This is drawing prompts and things you don’t usually draw daily. Maybe it is easier if you don’t have day job or other hobbies.
It is often harder to figure out what to draw than draw. There is still one difficult prompt to come. Others are quite simple because you can draw something that exists. But how to draw something like ego? It is abstract concept so there is abstract drawing. Idea behind this should be easy to figure out.
