Inktober 2018 Day 9 – What’s precious to you?
That’s what I thought I’d go with once I started drawing this one.
Yes, it’s another doodleworlds type image. I’m quite enjoying them as a change from my usual style of art.
I drew this on Frisk Bristol Board with Sakura micron pens. Scanned it into Gimp so I could create a transparent background. Then, I threw it (not literally) into Autodesk Sketchbook Pro and added colour and texture there.
I actually finished drawing this this morning. I had to leave it uncoloured to go out to do an anti-stigma talk for Time to Change Wales this morning. That left me feeling emotionally drained.
After the talk I had to make my way to Neath for a spot of lunch before my counselling/EMDR therapy appointment. That drained me even more and I’m still reeling from it now. A very intense session today.
I came home shell-shocked from it and I had to sleep. Which I did. On waking I turned my attention to colouring this in.
The colours aren’t quite as vibrant and bright as others I’ve used recently. I think that reflects my state of tiredness and emotional exhaustion.
All the same, I had fun coloring, which I don’t get to do often.
