Day 5 and I went a bit dramatic with this one XD cu I was actually going for the vibe that says "UGGGHHHHHH NOT AGAIN" because it's Monday for me now and it's already triggering the UGGHHH in me that makes me want to smack my face like this dude XD And yes, the prompt word today is smack and the best I can come up with is smacking my face out of sheer stress XD

Duration: 4hours
Materials: Black pen, white chalk, marker, white gel pen

So I went monochrome here but IDK I just wasn't in the mood for color on a Monday XD Monday is too stressful for me that this just really reflects everything I have going on in my head.
Meanwhile for the progress:



It was just pure pn and ink work for me because I really did not want to pull another technique out today, I just wanted this to be done as soon and as straightforward as possiblebecause it's hard to squeeze this in between work, even if I did the rough few layers at home before bed XD


I think the saturation buildup was what ate up most of my time plus taking pictures without that light glare from the ink, that also ate up a bit of my time UT I was kind of happy with how I managed to refine this



I think for the entirety of this, I used up 2 black pens I had in reserve so that was kind of hitting my goals of reducing my pen quantity this inktober. Hopefully when the year ends my pencil case will be much much lighter

I am a little busy today because I have a few meetings lined up and a few reports to finalize so I can't do my usual lengthy and chatty post but I will be around when can and I hope to see you guys again tomorrow if I can still keep this up XD Happy Monday everyone!
