Colored Inktober – Next Gen Momo

One of the last few inktober doodles I wanted to color was my version of Momo from the Netflix movie Next Gen.  I realized once I tried to capture his funny eyeballs that I drew them a crossed, when most of the movie they where wandering off.  I made sure to fix that in this version.

The next of this year’s Inktober doodles I wanted to color was Old Man McGucket from Gravity Falls.  I didn’t want to spend too much time on the background, but I probably should have…

Colored Inktober – Starfire

There were a few of my Inktober drawings this year that I was pretty happy with and thought I might get around to coloring them on the computer.  This warrior princess styled Starfire is the first one.

Inktober Recap

Inktober Tools

I usually do a single post with all my inktober doodles in a final gallery, but I thought this year I would lead off with all the tools I used.  Clockwise from top left:

• Custom sketchbook cover by Batsugan leather
• Canson 5.5 x 8.5 sketchbook
• Rotring 600 0.5mm mechanical pencil
• Pentel brush pen (did the lion’s share of the inking)
• Sakura Pigma Micron 005 pen (used for fine details and some shading)
• Sakura Gelly Roll white pen
• Pentel 0.5mm blue pencil lead
• Pocket sized memo pad

One of my many horrible drawing habits is not trying to figure out what I’m drawing before diving in.  Many artists do multiple thumbnails and then various rough sketches on light tables to lock down the composition before starting to work out fine details.  To curb this impulse, I started at least doing tiny gesture sketches in a pocket sized memo pad before starting in my sketchbook.  I feel it has helped me get a better idea of what I’m trying to capture.

Inktober day 31

The final inktober doodle of 2018 is Rio Durant from “Solo”.  This guy was an amazing pilot and good for some funny banter.  I wished this one had turned out better, but I was a little rushed to get it done.

Inktober – L3 37

Inktober day 30

One of the strongest characters, who met an unfortunate end during the movie was L3 37, the extremely self-aware lady friend of Lando.  She looks like she’s enjoying this oil bath after a long day of putting up with his drama.

Inktober day 29

My oldest son loved the mudtrooper uniform from “Solo”, so I made sure it include it in my inktober.

Inktober day 28

Next crazy character from “Solo” is Quay Tolsite, the boss of the mine on Kessel.  His drippage bothered me physically.
