Sketchavember - Day 8

Sketchavember - Day 8

It's Shasta! I've been painting new postcards and naturally I included one of him, even though he's consistently the worst seller, because I love him and I'm going to keep drawing him until someone else does too, dammit.

Also, theme applied! All further Sketchavember pictures will be fantasy-themed (as opposed to sci-fi, horror etc.) supernatural themes may or may not count, I haven't decided. Expect fairies.

Sketchavember - Day 7

I did something a little different, as I noticed my hands are looking a bit strange lately. Fun fact: I didn't want to just draw one hand and then copy it, so the pencil sketch for one of these was drawn with the wrong hand. It was hard! (I inked them both with my dominant hand though.)

I'm not happy with how this Sketchavember is shaping up compared to Inktober, I think I need to add a theme. Hmmm.

Inktober - Day 25

The anatomy is a bit wonky on this one because I realised at 11pm, in the hotel room after the first day of MCM, that I hadn't done my Inktober picture yet. I'm pleased with the inking though.

This is Sweetpea's friend, Coriander. She's a Holly, so her ears don't change with the seasons like his. Sometimes she grows flowers and berries under them though.

Inktober - Day 26

More wonky anatomy, oh dear. This is what happens when I draw late at night.

Since you can sometimes see them a little bit in 3-quarter angle pictures, I wanted to show what the ritual modifications the Vrega get look like. Almost all Vrega are subjected to this when they come of age, as part of their Trial. Technically the spikes can be placed anywhere, as long as they're worked into the bone, but these placements are traditional. After their Trial women are usually taught how to fight using their new arm-spikes. Men just have to get used to not being able to sleep on their backs.

Inktober - Day 30

You had to walk past slowly and calmly, as if you couldn't see it.

Next year, someone make sure I decide if I want to cross-hatch the picture before 10 o'clock at night.

Sketchavember - Day 10

An actual sketch this time.

Since sympathy with their environment turned Larkspur's people a muddy, grey colour, and Fret is the same kind of elf, his people should look like the forest in some way. It's taken me so long to work out how to do that, and it doesn't even come across in black and white! *sob sob*
