Days 17-20: Storm, Trap, Dizzy, Coral. #inktober2020
2020 is a storm. What can we do to weather the storm. Despite a lighting strike, do what you can to find your calm, your center. Consume stories in whatever way makes sense for you. Learn and expand. Take comfort with those who care about you. And cake is also helpful. Also. Vote.
I’ve been staring at this Tumblr post for days and days. I learned from 14/armor that this was going to need a grid from the get-go. I’m very happy to have the option of easy/free grid overlay available on the internets.
I wanted my drawing to evoke that moment. The tilt of her head, sweep of her hair, the deep shadows. In this moment, there’s nothing else but the people in that room. This is, hands down, the best rendering I’ve ever done and I’m really proud.
After so much energy put into Trap, 19 & 20 are quick sketches. Nice to be able to do that. Living coral… dang, yo. Turns out color is really helpful to render it well.
