Taking time this month [a.k.a. doing a challenge with a friend] to learn how to use solid black effectively. My goals: 1) Produce 2 "finished" pieces a week, and 2) post progress updates daily. So every day I'll post a bit of progress, and hopefully by the end of October I'll have 8 finished pieces and a better understanding of black and white! Happy Inking!! 

Ooooohh, spooky! I love Lovecraftian Horror type monsters. This isn't the final mockup, but I have a solid sense of composition. Next step: define precise forms and outline shadows.

Sneak previews! :O  I got it ready for inking. I’m glad I went the extra step to get it prepped, because it probably would’ve wrecked my schedule if I hadn’t. 

Smudgy sneak preview of piece #2! We’re going places folks.

I’ve never used ink like this before. Nibs are hard... First piece isn’t finished, but it’s as done as it’s gonna get for now. I think it does what I wanted it to do. I like how the ink looks. Solid black is cool. The outlines feel too “outliney”, but whatevs.  The other two chunks are ink blotches and a random ink blotchy face. Dig it? 

Abduction. I loved working on this.
