Greetings Steemians

This time had no problem with visualizing what I should draw. This time the problem was fitting in time, which I failed, but I really hope that Inktober is more about consistency and improvement than about punctuality ;)

So, I present you my work form very late last night - "Star"

As for the process:

  1. came up with the idead

  2. checked google images for photos of space suits for reference ;)

  3. took out my Sakura Pigma Micron 03 (earlier works were made with 05)

  4. When I draw directly with ink (no sketching) i firstly try to imagine whole drawing on paper, then I do some hover "drawings" with pen in places where i would place te main shapes (belive it or not it helps me visualize the proportions and composition)

  5. If the drawing is fairly simple i just draw, but this time I began with very light basic lines to not mess up too early:

  6. Then begin to move on with the main lines

at this point it is still possible to fix some minor mistakes with thicker lines or with areas of black shadow, with cross-hatching or something like that:

then background lineart and basic shadows

finally took out sharpie pen and thick flat marker to blackout the space thing, and done 1:00 - finally able to go to sleep
