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

A post shared by Lazy February (@lazyfebruary) on Sep 30, 2017 at 10:58pm PDT

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

A post shared by Lazy February (@lazyfebruary) on Oct 3, 2017 at 3:21am PDT

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

A post shared by Lazy February (@lazyfebruary) on Oct 4, 2017 at 11:42pm PDT

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

A post shared by Lazy February (@lazyfebruary) on Oct 4, 2017 at 11:44pm PDT

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.
