Today was the first day I actually tried blending the copic markers. For a first go I’m fairly pleased, although it sure makes you notice the difference between blending paper and regular sketchbook paper. Given that I’m doing a nature theme I, of course, chose a swordfish. I did it on the train to workContinueContinue reading “Inktober 2017: Day 6 – Sword”

Here’s day 2! I’m not as pleased with this compared to day 1, but that’s what this challenge is all about improving and just moving forward regardless of anything. This morning I was walking my puppy, and I saw a tree trunk with very clear contrast between where the light was hitting it and theContinueContinue reading “Inktober 2017 – Day 2: Divided”
