steftastan: my participation in inktober 2018! I don’t know if I’ll be able to crank out more drawings from here until the 31st but if I do I’ll be sure to pop by here with whatever I end up making.I didn’t go with the official prompt. I actually spiraled into drawing all my favorite final fantasy characters kinda by accident. I started with terra, I just needed to draw her one day I was feeling absolutely awful, weak, drained. I took the bus that day because of a horrible situation in the metro, and in the hour-ish it took for me to get to the office I managed to sketch her. and then I sorta took it from there. featured in this mosaic are terra, vincent, celes, sabin, rinoa, and a kefka I scrawled in pencil on my commute home.I took the opportunity of this inktober challenge to try and reconcile a bit my extremely loose and anatomically dubious sketching style with my overly-rendered digital work. that’s a fight that I’ve been having for years. for a long time I’ve yearned to be able to draw haunting, loose, painterly stuff, but my body’s muscle memory always draws me back to over-analyzing and hyper-rendering, destroying that nice intention in the process.weirdly enough I’ve found that I’ve been able to take strides in the goal of working on my sketches by 1) doing it as often as I can 2) not caring what the final result looks like. I wish I could stress less about art. I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that. all I wanna say is we’re all in this together.at least I was able to discover that this year, turns out I needed to give my pentel brush a try! also I wish I could consider all of my french study material inktober stuff, I’ve almost filled an entire notebook with notes, but URGH I STILL DON’T FEEL READY??!?! november 10th is like right around the corner and this test thing is giving me hundreds of heart attacks already. -- source link
