Inktober 2019, Day 4: Freeze

The prompt was "Freeze."

Materials

• Pigma Micron 005 and 02 pens 
• Faber-Castell M, S, and F black pens
• HB hardness drawing pencil
• White polymer erasers of various shapes and sizes
• Cold-pressed watercolor paper cut to 3.75x5.5" 

Step 1:  Sketch with a pencil

Sketch the general shape and texture the hair.

Step 2:  Draw with pens

Using the 005, outline everything.  I could have stayed with that, but I chose to use the S to thicken the lines to hide how I'd accidentally made one arm too broad. 

Step 3:  Carefully erase the pencil marks

Results

I don't do a lot with people, and less with people in motion, so I enjoyed being able to capture that.  Some of the pens don't work well on this paper texture.  I think I would have preferred to stick with the 005 but the pen hit a bump and skidded, so I had to save it with the S.  I want to add a splashy bright watercolor wash to add to the 'movement' of the image.
