Inktober - Day #08 "Star"
The second week of the month of October has begun, along with her still follows the challenge Inktober, I must say that this is wonderful, it is my first time using so much ink and I have learned a lot, never imagine being wetting my brush with that wonderful black liquid to make art, it has been a lot of fun!
The challenge opens its second week with a theme with too many interpretations, it's about a "Star", in my case I wanted to do something nice, I also wanted to continue experimenting with ink painting (the last two times did not go very well) so I decided to draw the face of an adorable girl What do I get it from? In my head, I don't find him similar to anyone.
Materials:
- Opaline white leaf (A4) 180 gr
- Liquid ink and brushes
- Black Gel pen
- Mechanical pencil 0.7 HB
-Step 1:

-Step 3:
Once finished the delineation, it's time to play with ink and water, with a very clear tone I began to shade the face of our pretty girl, the truth this step was an experiment in color, as I was proving that tone was better suited to her skin.
-Step 4:
Then I intensified the shadows through several layers of ink, I did it in this way and then did not regret if I came to give too dark tones to the first pass, I also discovered that if I dry a piece of paper absorbing the residual water of the brushstroke, I prevent the paper from wrinkling too much and accelerate the work.

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.
