Inktober 2019, Day 9: Swing

The prompt was "Swing."


Materials

  • Pigma Graphic 1 and 2 markers
  • 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.

Step 2:  Draw with pens

Using the 005, outline the flowers first so you don't forget, then use the 02 to draw the fine branches, and larger tips for successive outlines.  Fill in with the marker.

Step 3:  Carefully erase the pencil marks


Results

Catching the movement and the breeze was fun.  Some of the pens don't work well on this paper texture.  I'm not sure I like the hair.  I want to add a watercolor wash to amplify the frivolity and light of the carefree season.
