Inktober Day 7 – Tea Bear

[cs_content][cs_section parallax=”false” style=”margin: 0px;padding: 45px 0px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text]So if I had to pick a theme for my Inktober so far based off of what has already been drawn by me this month I’d say “animals and plants” at this point. But really from a day-to-day perspective it’s just what strikes the fancy when I sit down to get a sketch out. And perhaps picking a prompt would have tied everything together, but then you definitely wouldn’t have gotten this video of me drinking tea while inking a drawing of a bear drinking tea.

That tea (Moonlight Sonata cake by Whispering Pines Tea Company) is both one of the most beautiful cakes of pressed tea I have ever seen, as well as being absolutely delicous. Though it has kind of gone through phases since I bought it back in March, as when it first arrived it was just a really nice tea. Nothing remarkable stood out so much. Then 3 months later that SAME cake smelled and tasted like INSANELY STRONG dill. So weird! And by god was that a pleasantly odd drink for a dill-lover such as myself 🙂
But now it has really mellowed out and there is just the slightest hint of dill flavor at the back of what is an extremely drinkable tea.

But back to the subject of drawing, after this weekend I am planning on doing some pictures that are waaaaay outside of my comfort zone. Interior drawing and some backgrounds, some ink washes (scary!). There will still be animals and plants in those pics, though, I’ll be honest.

Hopefully more frequent videos to come, but technical difficulties abound and this might be more of a working-out-the-kinks month 🙂

Inktober Day 6 – Spring Deer

Ink drawing of a deer with spring leaves, buds and flowers growing from it's antlers

Originally I had wanted to do all 31 drawings in my new Inktober-branded sketchbook that came with the Artsnacks collection, but it cannot be helped.. I just love using different papers too much 🙂

And after having drawn with newer-to-me materials mostly this month it felt like I had SO much more line control going back to just felt tips for this piece. Don’t get me wrong, the dip pen and brushes have sent me over the moon and they will be in my life forever. But you just can’t beat the feeling of effortlessly clean lines sometimes!

In felt tip pens no less. Doesn’t get much more comfy outside of using pencils.

Inktober Day 1 – Kitchen Witch Altar

First time inking with a dip-pen, first time editing and uploading a timelapse video to Youtube and first time frankensteining-together a space *just* for recording myself drawing.

Mostly due to it being a slightly Halloween-y theme. Though, I have always wanted her to be a mix of Harry Potter-style witch (magic! and wands! and glitz!) and actual pagan religion (deities, ritual, lifestyle) which is why I have decided to research first and is what the note scribbles on the top of the drawing are. Being non-religious personally means I have some learnin’ to do.

Materials used for this drawing are:

Everything but the Aquash brush came in my Artsnacks Inktober Collection box – which will get it’s own post soon. The paper is super smooth, but also thick enough to handle my inking without bleed through. Pretty happy with it thus far. The dip-pen and I are about to embark on a long and exciting adventure this month, as I have fallen in love with how tiny I can get my details with it. But the Aquash brush may not make a reappearance, the grainy texture doesn’t sit well and I have other gray markers that can fill the role.
