Inktober Day... Fifteen?

Doing something a bit different today, three little sketches. Two are 20-25 minute studies with a pencil and the other is a little brush-and-ink sketch.

I've used a bit more hatching and took my time with these drawings, getting in that serious mood of drawing again, remove the cobwebs I've seemed to develop.

Close up of the left-most one.
The source photographs. Iunno where i got them, I just know I have these from some folder in my laptop called "Hyperangle".

Inktober Day Nine

Welp. I lost a day. I was just too lazy. Sorry.

Jeez, I've gotten lazy.


Ghastly feet. Sheesh.

Inktober Day Six

 Hello, hello. Day six has rolled by and I haven't missed a day yet. Excellent.

I don't think I'll continue mixing heavy brushwork with fine lines. Too much of a clash. Still iffy on fine lines with chunky marker-like lines, we'll see in the black-and-white scans of my current project. Maybe it just looks like trash on paper. Certainly not the first time that's happened.

Inktober Day 5

Felt like I jobbed this one. The foreshortening and perspective are off, I could have fixed it but I didn't really feel like it. My fault, really. Apparently, my gestures have been quite stiff and well... crap as of late. I should work on that. Comments such as that are expected, I haven't been able to really work on my art lately. It's sad. Oh well... I'll work on it. Will I be able to do it during school time, on my last year with all of its horrors? We'll see.

The first pic was a bit of an homage to Wrightson, Gilbert Hernandez and Alex Toth. I was thinking of them when I drew those. The second was just a fun little character sketch in honor of Kirby with some Mignolan effects (psst, look at the feet).


 

Said inspirational pics that informed how I drew these at the very back of my head.


Sorry for the crappy quality on this one, there just aren't any good scans of this thing on google and I'm too lazy to fish out an e-book version and extract that for this. Hopefully Toth's inks on Infantino here are noticeable enough to feel where I'm coming from though.

Inktober Day Four

WHOOPS! Forgot to upload these yesterday. My bad! Prompts coming from the usual sources. Will post Day 5 later.

Inktober Day Three

Day Three of Inktober, I now use both Jay Parker's prompts as well as this new one I've found. I found it in a Discord group I'm a part of. It's not bad.
With the Jay Parker prompts as well as this one in consideration, I drew something relating to poison as well as one about a banshee. Here you go.
Decided to be more symbolic, kinda superficially, with this one. Search for "Amorsolo Ginebra" on whatever search engine you want and you might understand. It's really not that hard.

Inktober Day Two

Here I decided to go with a more DC theme drawing. Since the theme, as Jay Parker suggested in his prompts, was divided, one of the first things that came to my mind when it said "divided" what's Two-Face of Batman rogues gallery fame. One may attribute the utilization of DC properties to our YouTube video I just watched a while ago that dealt with DC comics thus the usage of Two-Face. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xRDiUD1a8c, the video in question)

Inktober Day One (posted a biiiiit late, sorry)


This is the set of prompts I'm using for this years Inktober. You can kinda see the source on the bottom, it's from Jake Parker's website. Go look at it and crap. The first word was "swift". As such, I've drawn a man swiftly get away from the little rat.
