InkTober 22 ... An Inverted Camp

InkTober 22 ... An Inverted Camp | Ecency

I admit. I had fun trying to draw an inverted picture of a black hole. Since I don't have perfectly black paper. I decided to draw an inverted picture of a black hole. I then used the "invert" button on GIMP to create a perfectly black image.

Today's prompt was "camp." I decided to take a stab at drawing a picture in inverse color.

So, I was holding each of my Prismacolor pencils. I would then ask: What is the inverse of this color?

InkTober is supposed to be about ink. Ink is black. The inverse of black is white. That means that the last minute inking would add highlights.

I wanted to produce an image of a camp at night. So, I wanted to draw the picture in pale pastel colors thinking that the picture would pop out as bright colors when I inverted the image. Here is the drawing. Yes. It took several mind-wracking hours:

I said the image was difficult because I had to reverse my thinking about each element in this super silly picture.

Drawing the picture was weird. I colored the moon blue and the sky a bright yellow. I painted the fire blue. I decided to paint the two tents weird colors.

I painted two trees black hoping that they would turn into white aspen trees. I drew a few red trees. I knew I should have made the trees a light lavender color. I was just interested in how the picture would turn out.

Anyway, after several frustrating hours of trying to draw inverse colors. I imported the picture into GIMP and pressed the invert button. I then got the weird picture that you see below:

Trying to draw the inversion of an image really taxes the brain #POB

I was disappointed that the moon was not yellow. I should have used a deeper blue.

Even though the picture looks silly. It was an interesting exercise in inversion.

I will import the image into Night Cafe to see how it enhances things. Unfortunately, I need to cook dinner for some people; so I have to run.
