Inktober 2017 : Day 24 - brush inking and coloured ink

Nat can do all sorts of magic, but generating fire has always come very naturally to him. I regretted not using coloured ink on day 1 every single time I saw the picture in my sketchbook, so I finally gave in and did another one with the same concept. Here’s the spot colour I think I should have used the first time!

Sometimes I pause cartoons and sketch frames that appeal to me, I’m never sure if it’s good practice or a massive waste of time. I do it for fun though so I don’t suppose it matters. Practically every frame of Blue Diamond appeals to me so it’s a good thing she’s only had about 15 minutes of screen time so far.

Another birthday card? It’s true! I draw quite a lot of birthday cards for my friends and family. This friend loves both dragons and books, so I tried to combine the two. Then I put a pun on it because I can’t resist it once I’ve thought of one.

Inktober 2017 : Day 29 - fineliners and felt tip pens

Here are some of the demonic features Leilus can use as his ‘I am a demon’ warning sign. The rule is it has to be something that will be immediately recognised as non-human, so it can vary according to cultural norms. He used to be able to use his black fingernails, but these days they just look like acrylics so they don’t count any more. Most demons choose something they can hide, like claws that they can hide under gloves, or hooves that can be hidden inside shoes. Leilus can just keep his long, disgusting tongue inside his mouth, so it’s by far the best option. The stereotypical spaded tail is probably the worst.

Inktober 2017 : Day 28 - brush pen and ink wash Louise’s home also plays host to a slightly alarming type of house fairy called Lob-Lie-By-The-Fire. He looks a bit frightening, but he’s like any other house fairy, he just wants to sit by your fire and help you with the washing up.
