INKtober 2016: Day 04

I’m late with this one. I need to come up with some kind of new work flow. Chances are my daily images are going to take a hit in terms of detail (and quite possibly quality)…
I feel I could have went darker with the image (it’s supposed to be night), but as a consequence of my Day 3 I’m now afraid of adding too much black.

Day 03:
"Contemporary Park."
Okay, so it might not be the most original idea...

Got a new Pentel Brush pen. Had fun inking, and then lost the will to stay with it when I tried adding black shadows (something I don't normally do in any medium). I wasn't really going to use copics on it, but I pretty much had nothing to lose once I hit that problem area.
Bloody shadows! I don't know how comic inkers do it.

Day 02: 
As I do these InkTober (インク 十月) pictures, I’m reminded why I avoid doing important images on paper. I normally use Photoshop and can fix things easily enough. But on paper, a mistake can either be a big job to change or permanent. // 

 Today, I decided to draw the Japanese band Mass of the Fermenting Dregs. I don’t normally draw Japanese friends or strangers, so there is a good chance this is completely inaccurate (especially the drummer in the middle). // 

 ** 
“Finished not perfect.” (I add this quote to remind myself it’s okay if it doesn’t look right or if it’s full of problems. Otherwise, I think I would quit pretty early in the drawing process if not the month).

Mayo vs Dublin All-Ireland Final replay is today.
As I started inking the image, I discovered my bottle of Indian ink (that I had never touched in over 5 or 10 years) was dry, or hard. I never knew that the "black" could go solid while the liquid stayed the same.

"Finished, Not Perfect..." (basically to remind myself it’s okay if it isn’t perfect).

I wasn't sure if Copic Markers counted towards INKtober, so I decided to upload this without the Inktober tags.
