Inktober Day 25 prickly

in artzone •  6 years ago 

Greetings steemians
It's been a rather busy couple of days so i Had to skip on drawing for some time, but now I'm going to try to finish my inktober challenge. So stay tuned;)
Word for day 25 is

prickly

came out much creepier then I intended, but it's acceptable ;)
now for the

process

This time instead of jnkpens I wanted to try my pentel brushpen. as drawing with brush is still really hard for me I've decided to do a pencil sketch first

somehow when using pencil I'm less confident with my line and proportions then when I do ink only drawing. now I see that her ear is off :(
anyway, after initial sketch I took out brush pen and started a merciless process known as "don't screw this up"

and that's pretty much it. can't say I'm proud of the final effect, but I definitely learned to control brush pen a little bit more, so that's a plus.
'hair' detail

comment away
Cheers

@longer, great drawing, it looked like electric shock effect on the hair. . But it did look prickly. Even you mentioned about the ear, but for me it still perfect. I guessed this would be the difference between artist and people like me :p.

It took you how long to complete it? By the look of it, you should be able to complete it very fast.

Thank you. It took me about 1,5 hour. 2 hours max, as I did a few sketches first and chose the best one

@longer you really can sketch it very fast, with few sketches some more. I hope i have your talent. I only knew how to appreciate art but not an artist myself.

Hehehe she must be having a hard time every time she wants to brush her hair :).
                           
And congratulations for your curie vote ^_^.

Thank you very much. I sure wasn't expecting a curie for this drawing, as I'm not entirely happy with it. But it is a good lesson that sometimes people perceive your works different than the author

A hair quite strange, but also quite original. The expression on his face is simply great, especially the part of his eyes. His hands are also very well done, transmit the frustration or anger of the character. I liked the drawing, well done, Upvote!

Thank you, capturing characters emotions is tricky indeed, glad you like it

So that goes way beyond, split ends, the frizzes and a bad hair day, @longer. :)

Amazing how, you the artist, won't be entirely happy with the outcome, but then others, like me, look at it, and go, Amazing! I didn't even know brush pens existed until you said you were using one, so I'll take your word for the difficulty of use part.

I think it all came out great. The fact that you feel more comfortable in mediums that are more permanent than pencil boggles my mind, too. I'd be crumpling up paper left and right if I attempted anything like that.

And a curie. Very well deserved.

Anything in particular you'll be doing with this piece? I know you're doing it as part of Inktober, but I thought you might have something else in mind. And, I'm wondering how many other ideas you had with the prickly prompt? Or did you just go straight to this?

Thank you. 'Bad hair day' is the alternative title I had in mind ;)
A brush pen is basically an ink filled pen that paints with a brush-like tip . Tricky to control like a regular brush but gives great control over line thickness if handled right.
IM not doing anything with it, just for practice:) and my initial idea was a brushing hedgehog, but I saw too many hedgehogs for this inktober day, so I went with this ;)

She be so angry she be fashioning that constipated look. Nice job on the inking. That hair reminds me of spider legs or crag legs.

Yeah, basically had tree branches and crab legs in mind when I painted this, so you guessed right :)

The effect/detail of the comb is a bomb! Hahahaha

This is brutal, terrifying but hard. The flannel (prickly), the facial expression. Simply another level.

Thank you :)

Hahah this is indeed quite creepy :DBut it doesnt take away from the skills you put into it :D Those hair look like old skeleton legs or something. Btw I'm wondering - so the word was 25? What has the picture to do with 25? I got lost in this one hah :D

But hey, the picture shows some great art skills and you for sure had a great time working on it! Thanks for sharing it here and congratz on the curie upvote :) Well deserved!

Nah, the word for day 25 ( of october) is "prickly
I did have a great time working on it. Frankly I always have good time when drawing :)
Thanks for your time

It's really prickly and looks scary at first glance.

Yeah I know, this came out scarier that intended ;)

I'm sorry you are not proud of the final effect but glad to hear that you learned how to control the brush better.

Let me tell you that you gave me a good laugh when I saw the picture. It is a good one for a 'Prickly' day but it would fit 'desperate', 'furious' and 'angry' as well :D

When I'm angry like this my husband starts laughing (which pisses me off even more) and tells me that I'm cute when I'm this mad. She looks cute in a way too :)

I fully understand her annoyance as I feel similar when I try to comb my hair in the morning and there is hair growing from my head while there are small tree branches growing from hers :D

Poor old lady.. She should get a new brush :D

Thank you for sharing! It is a great drawing! Congratulations on your curie vote!

Glad it made you laugh. Maybe it will help you to better your mood next time you have problems brushing ;) Thank you ;)

What a cool idea for the prompt @longer. I think I would feel exactly like her if my hair is prickly like that. I love the details of the hair and the face. If you did not point out her ears, I wouldn't have noticed that it is off. So, no worries there :) Thank you for sharing with us the process.

great art friend I like what you have done for us, a unique idea hair and brushes are what I call a lot of attention I like because you had a unique imagination.

Your sketch is great, and the idea of a spiny hair is super creative, Sometimes it's the same with some of my drawings, I do not feel completely satisfied but it turns out that for someone else it's just the opposite, you do not feel like everything according to your drawing but let me tell you it's spectacular, you captured the challenge very well.

Carrying out the Inktober challenge requires a lot of time. I'm about to finish but you can not imagine how complicated it was to upload them, time is a factor against the challenge.

Go ahead and do not stop, a big hug @longer !!
