For Inktober this year, I am following along with Lisa Congdon’s CreativeBug course. I’ve made a few extra rules for myself for an extra challenge which includes trying to maintain a mostly black and white theme. Excited to see where it takes me.
In one of my other art communities Glacier National Park was the prompt for today.
I found a refence photo online.
Then a guy I follow on instagram (@harryfrost) does pen and ink art in a similar style to my submission.
I used my light board to trace some of the basic shapes of the refenence photo.
NOTE: I don’t try to trace too much…typically i trace a minimal amount that helps me a bit with portion and shape. Since I’m pretty new to sketching I guess I’m ok with a bit of tracing. Any thoughts?
A special commission for a Christmas present, drawn on A3 medium cartridge using 0.03, 0.05 and 0.1 fine liners. This was a bit different for me but I loved it so much! Took about 28 hours in total.
I love creating work that starts from a point in nature and develops into something more abstract, something that can be interpreted in many different ways. It’s interesting to hear what people see, what connection to their own life they bring when viewing a work.
Inspired by the tides at Jologo Beach on the Dampier Peninsula where Soldier Crabs create their homes, leaving little balls of sand around the entrance to their home.
