A cordial greeting friends! Today, the first day of October is starting to fill with art and ink thanks to the beginning of Inktober. This is my third consecutive year doing the challenge, I have decided again to use the official list in spite of the little legal problems that affected some artists last year. Despite having participated in the challenge for two years, I haven't been able to finish the list completely on time, so this year I'm coming with the batteries in place, so get ready to receive my art every day.
Also, I hope you join the challenge, it's a lot of fun and you gain a lot of artistic experience. If you don't want to use the official list, there are many other alternative lists, among them I can name those created by Drawlloween, Drawtober, The Geektower and Loish.
For this first day the theme is "fish", so I decided to work on the life and death of it, this little animal is fascinating in its simplicity, sailing with its beauty in deep and scary waters, although sometimes it can end up being the lunch of some cute kitten.
Materials:
- Opaline Cardboard (A4)
- HB Graphite Pencil
- Black Ballpoint Pen
- Black marker, fine tip
-Sketch:
I started sketching the idea with the HB graphite pencil, but not directly on the opaline, no, I did it in my sketchbook, there I can make all the crazy lines I want without fear of ruining the paper, thus building a more fluid and worked idea.
-Outline:
With the black pen I proceeded to delineate the entire drawing, making fluid strokes taking the sketch as a guide.
-Ink filling
It was time to fill in the black, since I had planned to have a dark background, it was time to put the black marker to work to carefully fill in the areas of solid black.
