I thought I would try to push myself drawing wise, after looking at all the lovely Sinful Sunday images I came across a post that explained about Inktober and decided I wanted to have a go. The first prompt is ring.
A few months ago I decided to buy some art supplies. I really enjoy being creative and have used a few different art mediums in the past. But I was never very good and was put off by having a friend who was amazing at everything she picked up. There was no way I could compare so it kind of trailed off. I had never used ink before and after an idea I had randomly I decided to see how comics were drawn. After watching a lot of YouTube videos I decided to buy some fineliner pens and marker pens. I am still learning techniques with marker pens and as the ones I bought were really cheap they don’t quite get the same effect that I was looking for. The fineliners I just used to ink the outside of the drawing.
After discovering Inktober yesterday I asked PurpleSole if he would pose for a photo. I can’t draw from my imagination, i’m just not that creative. With the prompt being ring I wanted his wedding ring to be prominent whilst also a part of him I really like… The photo I then edited to get it as contrast black and white as I could so it would be easier to draw. This was the resulting photo.
I am happy with what I have drawn, I did have to take a photo of it to put it on here so it looks less white than the original but who cares. I know it is not perfect and there are quite a few mistakes but the whole point was to try something different. In the end I had such a fun time drawing and trying new techniques. There is no way I am going to be able to have time to draw everyday but I am aiming for once a week!
Wow super drawing, u may draw me to 😉
Thank you, that’s quite an offer.
I think you’ve done an amazing drawing, lg! … and guess what, many artists use some type of inspiration for their work … a live model, a spot in the middle of the woods … or a photo of such 😉 … nj .. xx
Thanks nj, I was really unsure about posting it as I’m very critical about what I draw. I think the fact that I loved the photo I took so much helped lol.
littlegem, your drawing is so very good !! your Master, I’m sure, is very proud of your work.
Aww thank you. I think he was more shocked by my thourough ‘prepping’ for the photo.
That is a very good work! Rex is an artist too! I think he posted some a while ago. The subject looks “hard”! 😉 I wish I could draw. I have no talent so keep amazing us with your creative ability!
Yes I had way too much fun drawing the detailing of veins etc lol. Thank you, I’m really going to try and draw more. 😊
Great drawing gem. You are very talented.
