Nice drawings!

I would say that generally, sleeker reads futuristic. With that in mind, the billowiness of the skirt looks more like something from the past to me.

For what you're going for, option D is the best choice, but you could probably dress it up a bit by adding higher boots, and leggings.
Maybe a buttoned up version of the jacket?

Thanks! I'll try to do some more designs with those suggestions on stream tonight.

Look how fuzzy it looks from the bleeding.

Yeah, I use ink most of my pieces on watercolor and have never had an issue with bleeding like I have with these pieces. I never use Bristol paper because it buckles immediately with wet media, but this pad of Strathmore Bristol 300 series has been sitting on my shelf for over a year now unused, which is why I wanted to try it with these ink pieces.

Went back to day #1 where I also used the pentel pocket brush and yes, that bleeds a bit. I think it is the ink that is not that kind to paper. Try india ink and a kolinski brush?

Second drawing in a row where the end result makes me happy, I am obviously in the curve where my observation skills are lagging behind the drawing skills.

Third batch.



Still not quite sure. I like the coat from H a lot but it might be a bit much. Otherwise G is alright, if I can figure out something a bit better for the skirt and boots.

More feedback would definitely be appreciated still!

I think it might be the way you've drawn the headbandso it looks a bit like one of those paper hats, but to me, E and G read more like waitresses than detectives, and F like a future nurse. It would be nice to see something future-technologish or apocalypse-scroungetogetherly on the character. Layzor armband? Spiky shoulder pad? Knee-torn leggings? (I don't know how much realism you're going for, but a short skirt on its own would not be my first choice if I was a detective) A wide-brim hat with technological bullshit or something like that? Boots on F would be good futureboots. The coat is definitely not too much, it gives a detective vibe to the character.

Tomorrow's "official" prompt is "Freezing." What are your best tips on drawing ice, or things in ice, in only black and white?
Googling about and mostly getting only colour tutorials.

I know I'm hopelessly too late, but my favourite art trick for when you can't get advice quick enough (like now) or you're not too keen on a prompt is to take the definition and start stretching 'till you get something you wanna do. It's a smartass thing to do but you do not owe anyone anything when you're doing prompts for fun.

Observe: I did not wanna do some goddamn Frozen cold bullshit for inktober today.



So it's a freeze-frame of a dude frozen in fear. Because Spider-Man is having him for dinner tonight.

It's because it's a deep-cutting commentary on how we entertain ourselves with superficial technological marvels as we head inevitably to our extinction, the extinction event being driven due to our growing need for superficial technological marvels. It shows both your desire to live and be seen by others (with cute effects on) but also how dead you are to the world. OBVIOUSLY.

Haha thanks, I wasn't so much looking for inspiration as "good ways to draw ice good" but I guess I worded it poorly.

Today is #build. I made a lot if mistakes on this and I hate it but it was pretty rushed.

Nay, dear artgoon, 'tis I who hath not worded poo poo too well. I was trying to say "I can't give you ways to draw ice good (because of time restrictions, and totally not because of any inability to draw ice), but I can tell you how to do something completely different instead and make it fit".

Hi everyone, long time lurker and have now finally worked up the courage to post something. I went to art school, but years of working corporate after not being able to find work in a creative field drained my motivation to actually make anything for far too long. I would have creative spurts that would lead to maybe one or two pieces before the grind wore me down again. It's been super inspiring looking at all of the art in this thread, so last night made this drawing:



No planning or sketching, just going for it with a pen was so liberating! I'm looking forward to my next one.


Love these! Portraiture has always been one of my favorites.

Thank you! :)
I love your bunny, it's a great design and captivating.

Is Corel Painter any good these days? I used it a lot back when it was still Metacreations Painter 5.5, but then after 6 they removed the watercolor brush I loved. Anyway, Corel Painter 2019 is on Humble Bundle for 3 more days for $25 so I was wondering if it was worth that much, or if its functionality has been entirely subsumed by CSP/Procreate/PS.

GROSS BOY

considering the only reason most people who professionally digital paint don't use corel is because of its massive pricetag, getting it for $25 is a real pro move (and also 50% discount to the upgrade to 2020 version which makes it like a billion times faster since they finally figured out how to use the GPU for processing)

Sweeet. What gel pen are you using for the white? Is it any good? I've bought several different kinds (from aliexpress, to test them out) and they've all got trouble with the flow stopping mid-stroke. Or the flow not starting at all.



Nicely done, keeping the perspective tight is real difficult in long small objects.

Have you tried the Uniball Sigma white gelpen, I understand this is like the standard and most used on. I still don't really like it but it get's the job done.

For husky I could only think of this. In other news: I suck at drawing animals.
