Days 8 to 14- Artober 2021 (Teddy Bear to Pink Panther)

 Yeah, I didn't plan to post all of these together, but I've had a lot going on during this week, so here we go...

Yeah, this is just a fun sketch of some teddy bear character. I might revisit this. 

On this day, I was watching a live stream of someone playing a ToeJam and Earl game, and one of the enemies was an opera singer. So here's my attempt at this character from memory.

Got inspired to draw this character from an old friend's batch of photographs taken when they were shopping for pumpkins. I quite like this character. 

Yeah, I didn't have that many art materials when I was doing this piece, hence using a highlighter rather than my trusty brush pens to draw out these characters. They make a good duo. 

Another day, and another live stream, this time they were playing that Nickeloden All-Star Brawl video game. So here's CatDog from memory. Not too bad. 

Yay! I had my brush pens back in reachable distance, so I drew this character based on a speaker I tried to watch via Zoom on Monday, which explains some of the details on this one. 

As being a fan of the Pink Panther character since I was a kid, I've never really drawn them before. This was very poignant with the passing of David H Patie doing the rounds on my Facebook feed that day. I like how this came out in the end. 

Artober- Day 13- Continuation of Concept Panel

 

I'll be honest, I am not happy with this at all. I thought I could develop this drawing from yesterday with some colour, but I don't have the patience or the concentration to complete this any further. I might leave it for now and come to it another day.

Inktober- Day 13- Life Drawing

Yeah Sunday there wasn't much time to do any drawing, except this quick life drawing on the bus. Like how I got in the legs and the hands surrounding the hands of this figure.

Day 12 and Day 13 of Inktober: Professor Hastings

I have been doing Inktober this year, but if you bear with me, I will try and sort them out, and make relevant postings. I was inspired by Dave Alvarez's Muppetober contest over on Twitter (https://twitter.com/DAlvarezStudio/status/1050440806010683393) to give doing some fan art of an obscure Muppet. I decided to attempt Professor Hastings from Sesame Street. I tried a couple of attempts at depicting his character. Whilst my intial drawing (the middle drawing) had more detail, I felt I wasn't getting the proportions right on the character. So I made a digital coloured drawing of my second drawing at it resembles more of the character. I was also pleased with the tartan effect on his waistcoat.

Inktober- Day 13- Censored Rough Sketches and Inked Illustration

Finally inked a finalised illustration from yesterday's initial sketch. I have also started work on the next illustration, whilst working out what brush pens to use, as I kept using an old brush pen that kept drying up whilst inking, so I resorted to using two new brush pens to help finish off this piece. I think one is good for big strokes, whilst the other one is good for details that don't need to be rigid. I might experiment with these pens to make it work, but I just hope the client doesn't notice when I produce the finalised illustrations with these pens. 

Inktober- Day 13- Background Sketch

After some success with that illustration from yesterday, I wanted to try and add some further detail into the background to develop its mise-en-scene a bit more. So after doing some more research, I sketched out a couple of props that could be used to develop its location a bit more.
