Inktober 2019: Day 20 - Mapping Pen

Inktober 2019: day 20 - mapping pen

It’s not clear to anyone why Coda attracts so many butterflies.

I went for something simple again because I’m tabling at London MCM this weekend and I’m starting to panic a little bit!

Inktober 2019: day 12 - brush inking and coloured ink

The way Nettle’s hair waves around when she uses her powers is a sign of poor control.

I wanted to practice using those rigger brushes a bit more, so I drew something pretty simple. They’re so hard to control! You can get more ink in them at once without losing the fine tip though.

oh i love your last pic! though i don't know the idea, is she a robot?

Thank you so much! I hardly ever get any asks, I’m so pleased to hear you liked the picture! This has honestly made my day. :D You could say she’s a human who has always been treated like a robot. In the Factory you must do exactly what you’re told to do, no matter what, so even after she escapes she doesn’t behave like a normal person. You’d think she’d try to find somewhere nearby where she could get out of the rain, but she was told to wait, so she waits. There’s a boy in the story with the same problem, I’ll try to remember to draw him later so you can meet them both!

Inktober 2019: day 11 - fineliners and grey pens

He can’t speak, they cut out his voice.

I don’t like these grey pens as much as I used to, I don’t know if I’ve gone off this style in general or if I need to find a new brand of pen.

Inktober 2019: day 27 - fineliners and grey pens

I was handing out minicomics featuring Patience at MCM, so I thought she could join in Inktober too! She’s the last character I can think of for the ‘girls looking straight ahead’ set, so I’ll have to come up with something else to do on busy days next year.

Inktober 2019: day 8 - fineliners

If you tell her to wait, she’ll wait.

I was going to shade this with grey pens, but I decided on a whim to try doing just clean line art instead. I’m quite pleased with it?
