It seems that my friend ShiKushtaka has become an Ahamkara, and will remain as such until the end of 2024.
I'm a bit biased, but I love stories of this format, and wanted to try drawing his character. Didn't plan to do so much crosshatching, but I got kind of carried away with the dip pens.

Day 100/100 #the100dayproject I made it to the last day. My objective was to continue to learn to illustrate, but to also loosen up and and be more playful. I also experimented with, #watercolors, #watercolorpencils #watercolorcrayons, ink and #dippens. It was fun and insightful. With this last set of #sketches I experimented with my #bamboodippen of different widths. As you can see the wider width, the little guy on the right, was harder to control when it came to the ink. I like the texture the bamboo makes though as the ink begins to run out. I look forward to practicing and playing with #inksketches. I’m so thankful for this challenge since it challenged me to try new things and play. I feel my #illustrations and the way I think about them has improved. I look forward to another 100 days next year. #sketching #illustration #illustrate #learningtoillustrate #illustragram #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #experimentingwithink https://www.instagram.com/p/CebaQTKrfXL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Day 12: Hello! More new ink testing. I didn't shake this one as vigorously as the others so I think the consistency was slightly thin. (But last time I got so many bubbles!) Should have found a stick and stirred it up a tad more. Still a beautiful rich pink color! Love how it pops on black and white paper.

I’m getting an A4 sketchbook. These drawings are from my current A5 sketchbook. I love the paper, it’s portable, but it’s a bit too small for the most part.
Hey everyone! 🐾🎨 I'm excited to share this illustration with you again, but with a fun twist! I've tried something new, using markers and coloured pencils instead of digital media.
He is not mine and I want one. I do not have the money at the moment and when I start a new job I probably won't have time...
Some Dip Pen practice, using some concept sketches of my Glitch Saber. I'm still messing with their anthro design and how they make use of their duplicate.

This is a set of three long clip White Dot Lady Sheaffer models, c. 1968-1972, from the fall 2022 Pennant article “Late Production Lady Sheaffer Pens 1967-1989,” by Gary Ellison. These pens will have short conical nibs. The top pen is model 901, then model 902 and 903.

Probando tintas con pinceles y plumas en mi sketchbook. Estuve nerviosa ( como siempre) mientras me preocupaba por arruinarlo, pero me alegra el resultado!
Day 99/100 #the100dayproject Just playing around with my #morningsketches today. I’m trying to let my brain play before I start brainstorming the improvements my teacher suggested when he reviewed my story this week. I need to revise and redo my dummy, but first play. I watched the next lesson in my #illustration class and it was about playing with #dippens and ink. These are done with my #sharpie but later I plan to play with both my #speedball and the #bamboodippens I ordered awhile ago that I have yet to try. I’m excited and my brain needs the break. #sketching #sketch #sharpiesketches #postitsketches #learningtoillustrate #illustrating #illustrate #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #illustragram #childrensbookillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CeY8fq1LJgQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Day 31: poppy. This ink color is so fun. Just wait for the shimmer at the end. It was a bit thick so I really had to work to get it off the nib but if I wanted to I'm sure I could add a few drops of water next time.
