Ink, Sweat, Blood and Madness
October has finally come, as I mentioned earlier I am joining an art challenge called INKtober. This post will contain all the artworks for this challenge and will be updated daily. I will also include a short blurb of inspiration for the artwork summarising how I came up with my creation. Hope you will enjoy reading through this post.
1.10 SWIFT
Inspiration: Swift can mean something happening suddenly but, I had trouble on how to interpret it so I searched online for samples, but most of them are images of Taylor Swift so I chose drawing Swift birds instead. Swifts are among the fastest animals on the planet, pretty sure that’s why they got their name.
2.10 DIVIDED
Inspiration: Divided feelings. Divided decisions. Divided path. Divided mindset. We are always in between two things. Always choose things that make you happy.
3.10 POISON
Inspiration: People tend to cling to beautiful but, unhealthy and dangerous things, people and situations even if it’s toxic and bad for them, this is my interpretation for modern poison.
4.10 UNDERWATER
Inspiration: When I hear underwater I always associate it with a mermaid. It’s been a while since I drew a mermaid so I was happy it looked like it.
5.10 LONG
Inspiration: I wanted to draw a Dragon but I was so conflicted so I drew a girl with a long hair instead. The hair was too long that it didn’t fit the Instagram frame.
This world is but a canvas to our imagination.
Henry David Thoreau
6.10 SWORD
Inspiration: One of my favourites, I must have been really inspired when I did this haha! I love Japanese inspired artwork so I made a female samurai.
7.10 SHY
Inspiration: I wanted to draw a little fairy but gave up halfway xd.
8.10 CROOKED
Inspiration: I drew Cheshire for Crooked because he shifts shapes and he’s crooked in mind too.
9.10 SCREECH
Inspiration: Screaming woman because it’s one of the women’s distinguished talents.
10.10 GIGANTIC
Inspiration: Baobab tree from The Little Prince but, I was hungry and I love mushrooms soo…
Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.
Thomas Merton
11.10 RUN
Inspiration: Stockings with a run, one of the women’s nightmare.
12.10 SHATTERED
Inspiration: Broken mosaic.
13.10 TEEMING
Inspiration: Overflowing icecream, yum!
14.10 FIERCE
Inspiration: Even the softest eyes have the fieriest heart.
15.10
Inspiration:
The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
