Inktober 31: Happy Halloween!
The outline and cat were drawn with a Waterman Phileas (EF nib) and Noodler’s Heart of Darkness (which I haven’t used in years, no idea why), and the hat and clothes were filled in with a Tombow Fudenosuke dual sided brush pen.
It was a fun challenge, and I really pushed myself this year to try new and different things. Can’t wait for next year’s Inktober!
Inktober 30: Night Run Tel-Aviv
Inktober 28: Old Man and the City
This quick sketch of people relaxing under an olive tree in Rabin Square, Tel Aviv, was drawn entirely with a Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pen – Double-Sided – Gray/Black, which is a hard, durable (for a brush pen), waterproof brush pen which has become a staple in my drawing kit. Highly recommended, especially if you’re new to brush pens, or plan to use them with watercolours.
Inktober 27: Passiflora and Abaddon
Drawn with dip pen, and inked with brush pens and Uniball Emott.
Inktober 25: The Garden
Inktober 24: Curiosity
The left part of the spread is my cat, in Tel Aviv (ink only). The right side of the spread is from a photo I took in a patisserie in Paris, France (ink and watercolour).
Inktober 22: London and Jerusalem
Inktober 20: Tokyo and Rome
I’ve decided to draw the main characters from the local play “The Mystery of the Lost City Guardian (of Doom)” as a larger Inktober project. Today it’s Tokyo and Rome’s turn.
Here’s the inking before the watercolour was applied:
And I’ve sketched three more characters (London, Jerusalem and Haifa). Only Tel Aviv remains:
Inktober 19: Abaddon (i.e. Doom)
I’ve decided to draw the main characters from the local play “The Mystery of the Lost City Guardian (of Doom)” as a larger Inktober project. Today I drew the first character, Abaddon or Doom (minus her yellow hazmat signs, but I’ll do those last, so they won’t lose their lustre in the process of drawing the other characters).
Here’s a close up of this fierce, fierce lady:
And some process photos of the preliminary sketch. There are more characters that I haven’t sketched in yet, but hopeful tomorrow or the day after the painting will be complete.
Carthage is the tallest of the actors, which is why I decided to start with her and use her as a reference to the others, in terms of height and placement.
