Android - Liquid ink, micro pigment ink pen, Hahnemühle 300 gsm watercolor paper, some pose inspiration from this
@tarazkp recommendation, which is pretty great btw and quite a mindfuck, I began sketching this bulb/acorn droid head. It amused me as it has this blank, resting bitchface, I’ ma fuck you up expression, maybe you can even hear her say Hasta la vista, baby, and she probably uses her hair as a shield and a cloak at the same time, so I kept working on it.
I don’t even remember when was the last time I used liquid ink for anything, but since I had a brand new liquid paintbrush just sitting around and waiting to be tested, I went for it. What I love about the ink, is the depth that can be built with it and the boldness of it. I mean, I still am clueless about the dark arts of proper inking, but it was a fun medium to play with, and the thick watercolor paper was perfectly suited for it as well. And, because of quarantine madness and potatoing (that’s a word now) in place, of course, I coated the dried liquid ink with more ink using Sakura’s 0.25mm line Micron pen which turned out to be a pretty cool effect even though it took a while.
Speaking of potatoing, I am glad that spring is not canceled and I am fortunate enough to have a garden that soon will require a lot of time spent outdoors which is something I need and crave for existence to be more enjoyable. I am an introvert and I am usually fine with not being around people as much, but even I feel the weight of the extra social distancing and I still do enjoy some good conversations with my people and quality time spent together now and then.
At the same time, everyone should take this thing seriously and understand the importance of why social distancing is the measure to be taken. I know it’s extremely hard. Especially emotionally, when you are kept apart from your loved ones and all you want to do is be with them and hug them, but remember that’s to keep them safe or at least to try. Stupid fucking virus!
How are you guys doing? What’s keeping you sane? Sometimes I wish I could wish bad stuff away! You know? I wish I could Hasta la vista, baby to it!
