Inktober 2021, Day 25 - Fountain Pentel

Inktober 2021, day 25 - fountain pentel

Missed you.

Part 8 of 3minJimin! These are the last ones, so I made sure to include some of my favourites:

Boy Meets Evil (2016 MAMA), which is such an iconic performance that I couldn't possibly leave it out, even though it was tricky because the lighting puts half his body in silhouette. My one regret is that I was too tired to do some bonus j-hopes too, but I can always do more sketches later.

Butter, again, but the official MV this time, because I love this adorable outfit and I had to give it a try. The see-through overshirt turned out to be too hard for me to manage in 3 minutes, so I might come back to it without the timer.

And finally, Jimin doesn't NEED permission to dance! I love the fashion cowboy outfits from this MV, and I'm also incredibly pleased with how the sketches turned out. Ending on a high!

I had a lot of fun and I wanted to know if I'd improved over 31 days of 3-minute sketches, so I did one final bonus Jimin - I redrew the same frame as day 1 (Butter (Hotter remix)). What do you think? I think I got better at drawing Jimin's face at least, but mostly I seem to have improved... my grasp of clothing folds? Unexpected benefit but I'll certainly take it.

Nobody joined me and Sammy in our silly BTS art challenge (even though it's a GREAT IDEA that RHYMES), but all are welcome in the land of boyband scribbles! I hope you will join me in a 3minJimin some time. Or a 3 min any other member, this is an OT7 household. Time limits are also flexible (Sammy chickened out of 1minJin but I might try it). I had a lot of fun with it and I hope you will too!

When the nightmares are bad he wakes up exhausted.

Last ones! I stuck with black and white because I was getting a bit tired, but I put some special effort into the last 3 which I think paid off.

I think I need to resist any more art challenges for a bit! I have other things to get done.

I realised I have a lot of work scanned that I never posted, maybe I'll do it now?

This was the last page of an A4 sketchbook I was trying to fill up last year. Originally it was going to be gouache practice, but at the time I decided I wanted the sketchbook finished more than I wanted to learn gouache. I tried out using a limited set of colours instead, to practice colour mixing.

Another page from my old sketchbook! I was drawing Amabie as it was going round at the time. I copied the way a lot of other artists had drawn it, and tried to interpret it myself (my interpretation is the green/brown one with a weird arm-tail).
