Inked: Don't be shy - Inktober Day 7

INKED
When I need a reminder that there are shapes on my body that I chose.

...

...

Hi!

I think I had the 7-day itch or something. It was one of those days I couldn't get the artwork to match the way I had imagined it. I must have redrawn this entire piece at least 60 times trying to get it just right even though it probably was okay the first time round. SMH. It's true that overthinking things is futile. In the entire Inktober prompt list, this was the first one that I could clearly see in my mind's eye and I think that's why I wasn't satisfied just to have it be 'okay'.

This is also the seventh piece in my perspective series and follows the inktober prompt of 'Shy' showing a woman getting a tattoo.

Materials used are:

  • Brustro Technical pen 0.05 microns and 0.3 microns
  • Homemade India Ink: How I made it is here
  • Hot pressed 300 gsm paper


Thanks again for watching!

xoxo

Love...? A Short Bird Animatic

Image
The bird calls of love have its moments ... ... Hi, This is an animatic from an animation short I have been storyboarding at the moment. The birds that you see here are zebra finches and this portion of their interaction in the short was inspired from a YouTube video, that I can't find at the moment, where somebody recorded their birds having a moment just like this. I have a long way to go in studying how to inbetween, choosing colors, understanding backgrounds, and most importantly camera work. Though it's just in the storyboard phase yet, I enjoyed adding so many details just to get the hang of other areas that I need to work on in animation. I used OpenToonz to create this animatic. It has a fairly steep learning curve but for a free open software, it has everything an animator could ask for. I've found it to be the easiest place to do storyboarding. Let me know what you thought of this in the comments below. :) I hope you like it. Thanks again for

Roots: Surrealism in Ink | Inktober Day 20

Image
The roots of heritage are deep. ... ... Hi, Though I'd completed this drawing during the inktober 2017 month, I have been lazy about posting this video. I made this for day 20 of inktober for the official prompt of 'deep'. ... ... It's easy for most of us to be super critical of our work but I am very happy and proud of this piece. The inspiration was a picture of a tree that had been freshly cut down and you could see the rings and the bark cracking and splitting from the impact. ROOTS was also my first attempt at drawing surrealism art. This was drawn on 8x6 cardstock with micron pens. In hindsight, I wish I had done a better job with the composition and lineart. But, I am incredibly proud of the way this artwork turned out. BUY 'ROOTS' ART PRINT HERE (click on the image to go to the product page) I hope you like it. Thanks again for watching! :) xoxo P.S.
