Inktober 2016 Day 3 -Collect

Inktober 2016 Day 3 -Collect
Ink on Paper, A4

I wanted the third one with the prompt "collect" to be a little more deep and also I wanted to give a little variety in technique, as well as in style and theme, so instead of a quill, I used paintbrushes only. 

I thought about how I see more and more people getting lost on the internet. 
We all post pictures, videos, music and artwork and almost anything else that can be uploaded. We hope for Llamas, Likes, Stars, Points, Thumbs, Faves, Watches or whatever the internet has to offer. We hope that as many people as possible will notice our effort, will compliment our results and give us the virtual acknowledgement we all seem to need so badly. 

So this one is to remind us all, that self-esteem mostly comes from oneself. Not the internet. 

So work hard and be proud of what you achieved and whatever you did. 

And if someone else gives you a watch, fave or Llama, put that ON TOP of your own happiness and do a happy-hippo-dance.  

(Yes, I also yearn for virtual confirmation and am ridiculously when people take the time to look at my art)

Finally I finished with the drawing.I wanted to enter it or a draw-it-again-contest for the fun of it ^_^It is nice to see the improvement, though I didnt change much in the lineart. I kept it mostly monochromatic, because I wanted to keep a little of the original character of the pencildrawing I made 10 years ago

Inktober 2016 Day 2 -Noisy

Day 2 Inktober Challenge-Noisy
Ink on Paper A4

So that prompt was really easy for me! 
I immediately thought of my wonderful, yet pretty noisy family.  
Though my husband is very gifted and plays beautifully, my two toddlers do their best to imitate their parents and try out our various instruments. Usually first leading to three people playing at the same time, which is immediately followed by the fight over the most desirable instrument (usually being either the piano or the drums).  

So I enjoyed this day very much (even if the inking isn´t perfect)

My Way of Coloring with Colored Pencils

This is my way of coloring. I made it for DeviantArt, but somehow the blog can´t handle the formatting, so here I posted all the indivudual pictures... And Blogspot still displays blurry pictures... I am sorry...

W.I.P.
