Inktober ’19: Week 2

Prompt #3: Bait

My mother was right: pen and ink wash is, in fact, a lot faster than detailed pen-work and the “autistic scribbling” she abhors. You can’t do everything with it but it’s worth investigating a bit more.

Prompt #4: Freeze

(When my source said “sweep up”, I assumed she meant with dustpan and brush, but did not check.) (This was related as happening in St. Petersburg; I assume in places nearer the sea, you might actually get fresh fish.)

Inktober ’19: Week 1

I’d like to do Inktober this year, but once a day is not possible. (Work; and the collaboration with the artistic relative is on hold while I await more to do, but that could change at any time.) Thus I shall aim at a considerably more modest goal: to work through the Inktober prompts in order, and get at least two done each week. This week’s efforts:

Prompt #1: Ring

Prompt #2: Mindless (ok, this is an obvious one…)

These are not properly sketches, as I used pencil outlines first. The second required too much time for something so simple, due to my “autistic” (per my mother) drawing style; I really should have chosen e.g. ink wash, watercolours, or pencil for that one.
