Hello hellooo I live again after being sick for a few days XD I hate getting fevers buutttt I got a few days of much needed rest too since I feel like I've been overworking myself again. Anyway, since I've recovered this afternoon, I've done nothing but draw because I am so upset that my streak is broken and I'm just trying to catch up to my streak while also doing the start up of my inktober take this year OwO I really hope I don't get an extreme art block again this time else my attempt is really gonna suck like it did last year.
Well anyway, I'm just going to stay on black and white to make things faster for me and if I go back into color, it will probably be when all of this is over and I'm just going to do one of the prompt lists I found along the way.
Duration: 2.5 hours
Materials: Ink, pen, white ink
So IDK I only feel like drawing men. Would I call this a distraction? Maybe? A longing? Maybe? But I've just been processing a few things to myself when I have the capacity for it. I think I would be in this thinking phase for a while still. Processing mental issues is harder than I would like to admit
For my progression:
I did start with an ink layer again and a bit of a rough sketch. I recently bought darker leads for my pencils because I always struggle to see my lines when I do my sketch on inked paper so hopefully this will work better for me.
Then bit by bit I started layering up my pen layer and I swear the smoothening out the pen layer and that took me a good hour or so just to get down
So in the process of it all, I kept jumping from the beanie, to the coat then to the face then I ended up just focusing on the face for a bit and I tried getting into finer details.
By this point, I only had to finish the shading then do a bit of the highlights
Then after all the highlights, I am done~~
I'm not sure how to feel bout this one since it's been a while since I have drawn faces but I am happy with how this one came out so that's that in my attempts of catching up XD I have to do day 4 and the rest of the days now so expect a bit of a shorter gap in my posting for the next few days
That is day 3 for me~~ I shall see you guys again in a few hours or so!
