Inktober Days 1 to 3
I'm late for the reposting of the first three days of my Inktober.
I wanted to scan them as I go, but I think this will be too time consuming. So I'm posting the social media pictures for now, and will archive for good later, all in one go. I haven't yet found the good rythm and will try to manage my time (and my sleep) better for the rest of the week.
Day One: Koi
I followed the "water" prompt of french inktober for this one... And I'm actually very happy with it even if I had a few technical troubles.... And someone I know IRL has expressed interest to buy it, which now makes all the mistakes all the more glaring to me. ^^
But I'm happy with it anyway, and it's a style I'll probably revisit.
Day two: A thouthand kisses deep
Pour mille baisers tu achèteras mon coeur et tu les paieras à ton loisir, un par un.
A thousand kisses buys my heart from me; And pay them at thy leisure, one by one.
William Shakespeare
A relatively quick one. I had trouble with the faces, but I'm happy with the overall result, and the composition and its double heart. Ces' tittled this one THE GAY AGENDA. :D
This is also the first design of my inktober that could easyly be used for silk printing.
Day three: Cats are always thoughtful about that
'I knew a pair of Persian cats once; the black one always reclined on a white cushion on the couch, and the white one on the black cushion next to it. It wasn’t just that they wanted to leave cat hair where it showed up best, though cats are always thoughtful about that. They knew where they looked best."
Ursula Le Guin
This drawing made me realize that I find persian cats rather ugly. :D
I'm happy with the overall result, but had trouble with making the red really flat (should have picked a bigger brush), the gold as regular as I wanted it and I ran out of ink in my pentel brush mid-black cat and had to switch to regular brush and black ink. :D
