Inktober - Day #01 "Poisonous"

Hello once again my dear steemians! today I am pleased to announce that I have joined the Inktober challenge, this being the first official day of the challenge, which I hope to meet in full.

But what is inktober?

The inktober is an initiative created by the illustrator Jake Parker in 2009, in order to improve his artistic skills, although over the years has made a great impact on the international artistic community. The challenge is to make a drawing with ink every day, hence its name, "ink" (ink) "tober" (October), although for the most part this is respected, many other artists prefer to stay in their comfort zone, so you can see illustrations made with watercolors, graphite, charcoal, digital and any existing technique.

For many years participants made their illustrations at random, but since 2016 was launched an official list, which raises the specific topic for each day, but as often happens, there are also many other parallel lists that offer different options for the taste of each artist. I'll leave you the official list below.

As for me, I decided to use the official list because this is the first year I participate in the challenge, according to this list, the theme for today is Poisonous, so I drew a beautiful frog Amazon, yes, those that kill you just by touching you, and to give a little more dynamism and obviousness I added a small bottle of poison.

Materials:

• White leaf (21x15) 70 gr
• Black fine point marker
• Mechanical pencil 0.7 HB
• Colored pencils

-Step 1:

Make the sketch with the mechanical pencil gently for easy erasing.

-Step 2:

Ink the sketch, trying to make the lines as perfect as possible, if your paper is thin remember not to wet it with too much ink, if you use a marker try to apply it gently.

-Step 3:

Since I'm a color lover, I didn't resist the urge to color it, so I took my colored pencils and combined them to get the look of a cute little poison frog.

If you are looking to improve your artistic skills, this challenge is for you, you can publish your results on social networks using the hagstag #inktober or #inktober2018. See you in a future post!
