Day nine "swing", this time I did not do something as complicated as the pointillism of the previous day, but something more fun and could be said - relaxing -.
In this scene, we can see a kitten playing with her food (if my grandmother saw him she would scold him, the food is not played hahaha). I thought about many things for this day, because I didn't want to draw just one swing, but to add more elements that would stand out, and as I am prone to draw mice and frogs, here I bring you some fearless mice and a very lazy and playful cat (eating mice was a lie).
Tools:
- Opaline Cardboard (A4)
- Black ballpoint pen
- HB Pencil
-Step 1:
HB pencil, to sketch the idea with soft strokes.
-Step 2:
Black ballpoint pen, for the total delineation of the drawing.
-Step 3:
More black ballpoint pen, here we go with the detail, starting with the detail of the tree, which sincerely was very cool, through faint stripes and some ink excesses I could achieve a good texture for its bark.
-Step 4:
To the mice I have not given much color, implying that his coat is very clear, on the contrary to the cat I have detailed it a little more, melting his coat with the grass. I feel that I lack a bird or a butterfly to complete the scene, what do you think?
I'll leave you a little gif with the whole process in it, so you can better appreciate the step by step.
What is inktober?
The inktober is an initiative created by the illustrator Jake Parker in 2009, in order to improve his artistic skills, although over the years has made a great impact on the international artistic community. The challenge is to make a drawing with ink every day, hence its name, "ink" (ink) "tober" (October), although for the most part this is respected, many other artists prefer to stay in their comfort zone, so you can see illustrations made with watercolors, graphite, charcoal, digital and any existing technique.
