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 12- Rough Character Illustration

Not much for today, mainly because time was not on my side today. But at least I have an idea on what this finalised sketch will and that a new brush pen doesn't bleed through to the other side of this paper, unlike in my current sketchbook. So I'll see how I get on with inking a finalised piece at some point tomorrow, once I try and find a long-enough ruler to sketch out my border first.

Post a Drawing Every Day- Day 8- Rough Digital Layout for Polictical Cartoon

I wanted to do some traditional inking, and was recently inspired from the antics going on at a war crimes trail, which led me to think it feels like a game of Call My Bluff.

Rough Digital Layout

So here are some of the 'high-profile' witnesses, with the judge (on the left) hosting a Call My Bluff with them. From left to right are my attempts of these three individuals : Mia Farrow; Naomi Campbell; and Campbell's agent, Carole White.
It's a digital layout because I have layered several drawings into a drawn layout, on top of one another. I am certainly going to revisit this to sort out the inconsistency with the inking, as well as adding the text, colour, and maybe textures to the piece.

Original Drawing

In this drawing I was working out how the characters were going to be placed into the scene.

Rough studies of Naomi Campbell

I tried many times to get Campbell into the pose I wanted her, which meant studying a few pictures of her.

This was where I got her right enough to do an inking of it.

Inked Drawing and Rough Study of Mia Farrow

I had a good idea of the post to put Farrow in, but I did a quick study of her to work what she will be wearing.

Rough Study and Inked Drawing of Carole White

White proved a bit more tricky, as I needed to work how I would get her to hold up the card, and to make her seem distinguishable from the rest of the 'celebrities'.

Inked Drawing of Judge

For some reason, I found it easy to draw the judge, with her distinguish hair style, and stern look she seemed to have whenever I saw her on TV.
