Inktober 2019, Day 8: Frail

The prompt was "Frail."

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.  I outlined the puffball shape as an ellipse and the general shape of the wafting dandelion pappi before I drew in the specific ones.

Step 2:  Draw with pens

Using the 005, outline the general shape of the stem and leaf, the heads of the pappi, and the hatching of the dandelion head, then use the F to add the seeds to the pappi, the 02 and the M to outline and hatch the stem and leaf.

Step 3:  Carefully erase the pencil marks


Results

This was amusing; I enjoyed the lightness and heaviness of different details.  I want to add a watercolor wash for the background.
