Inktober 2024 Day 5 - Binoculars

Inktober 2024 Day 5 - Binoculars

Had a few spare minutes after lunch so tried for the fifth prompt of binoculars.

Decided to be a bit more ambitious this time, a person using binoculars and in colour! Found an image on Google as a quick reference and used the default ink brushes. Not super happy with the face and shadows, but that’s as far as I’m feeling it for now, it’ll do 😊.

Inktober 2024 - Day 3 “Boots”

Temporarily interrupting my usual chronological posts with a bit of more ‘contemporary and time sensitive’ ones.

I’ve never participated in Inktober before, although I’d seen it mentioned here and there, granted I’ve never had an art blog before. Since I now have one, I thought why not try it out. I don’t think I’ll do all the prompts. It’ll mostly depend on the subject and my time, but let’s see if I can manage more than one 😁

Had 20 minutes to spare this morning so tried day 3, boots. Honestly, was a bit too tired to be very creative so I just went literal. Behold, a pair of old boots. I used the default ink brushes, since it’s ‘ink’tober 😁. Alternated between ink roll, dry ink and ink bleed. It’s actually a good excuse to try different brushes and techniques.

The City

Something a little different from the usual landscapes, tried Tatyworks city skyline tutorial.

A Sea of Blue

One of James Julier’s older tutorials, the Pacific Islands landscape. Pretty blues 😊

Window on a Brick Wall

Trying to do as many watercolour tutorials as I come across in the hope that the techniques start to stick 😊. This one is from Tatyworks.

I almost feel like it’s cheating a bit to use a brick brush rather than draw it all by hand, but then, why not take advantage of modern tools 😊.

The Beach

Completed the ‘beach grass landscape’ by James Julier.
