Inktober - Day #14 "Clock"

---

I usually do a lot of drawings that are somewhat dark, or even horrifying, but sometimes I like to explore that beautiful side inside of me, it is common to see it in my fantasy illustrations, but this time I wanted to do something completely simple and beautiful.

Yes, I said simple, but the truth is that hair scramble was not so easy; the theme for this occasion is "clock", despite the thousand and one ideas I had, which range from pocket clocks with legs, a clock in a race (because time runs) and many other madness, I decided for the simplest and most beautiful, which I feel says "appreciates time".

Again I have done the illustration digitally. Why? Because I love color! And digitally I can play a lot with it. Also, my two great digital loves accompany me, Autodesk Skecthbook and Photoshop.

Materials:

• Autodesk Skecthbook
• Adobe Photoshop

-Step 1:

As usual, I started with a crazy sketch to locate and define my idea.

-Step 2:

Then I have taken a new layer on the previous one, starting the delineation following the idea established in the sketch, here the biggest challenge was the direction that the hair would take, since it occupies almost 90% of the drawing, in addition I have added a black outline, with which I wanted to emulate the ink a little, that's why I didn't make it perfect.

-Step 3:

It's time for the great, give color, this I did in a layer below the linear, so I did not have to worry too much and I could color without fear of getting out.

-Step 4:

Ya tenía un tono amarillo de base, por lo cual lo oscurecí un poco con un tono naranja/salmón, el cual aplique en su cabello, dejando la piel amarilla.
Finalmente le he añadido un poco más de saturación al dibujo, ya que estaba muy pastel opaco y quería que resaltara mucho más.

I'll leave you a little gif with the whole process in it, so you can better observe the step by step.

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.
