Linco's Inktober2019! Day #2 and Day#3

Hi again!

I'm wondering if I should blog each day for each drawing, I feel like I'm good at talking about the problems I run into when doing each inktober piece but I'm guessing it'll get repetitive REAL soon. Let me know what you think.

Anyways, regardless I didn't post yesterday since I was AWAY at school, and probably tomorrow because of extracurriculars, but I still find a quiet place to hide and do my inktober drawings during breaks...

Here I'll post my day 3 first because... I'm more proud of it.

The word of the day was "BAIT"

This was the first image that popped into my head haha, just two fisherman pretending to be fish to lure in their catch... but they ended up actually being fish.

So I liked this idea a lot and wanted to get it right from my mind to paper, I did a lot of thumbnail sketches to see if the composition would work.

And these are obviously super rough maybe a few seconds or minutes each, but they help consolidate the idea.

My other problem was... since I'm doing this in brush pen, how am I going to draw the water? So I did a few rough plan outs on the same messy page.
Rough planning for the water

Honestly, I liked the top one, but I went with the bottom BECAUSE, I wanted to show splashes near the boat. This is a visual problem, if the water is all dark, it's hard to get those droplets to read. I'm still wondering if I made the right choice but that's okay! I'm just glad I got to experience that problem because now I feel like I learned something!

All that work for a very amateur drawing.. haha, but I've always heard to trust the process! So it's good to get experience planning, doing, checking it over, and acting on what you learned.

I'll end off with my day 2 Inktober which I kind of rushed yesterday. The word was "mindless!"

I hope you can see the spider in her head... the shape didn't read well because a tangent was created with the line for the top of the ear, and the bottom of the spider's.... belly? I noticed this today, and fixed it by expanding the spider's belly (since it's in her head in a cutaway composition, it's fine if it goes behind the ear).

Also, in my hurry I blotched the shape of her nose! I could talk more about this one, but I feel like I'd be rambling.

Thanks! See you soon.
