Letting Loose: Embracing Imperfect Proportions with Jon Snow Illustration
Ok, I’ve fallen a little behind on Inktober again this year, it seems like that’s as much of my yearly tradition with Inktober too. I’m playing a little catch-up. Here’s my inking illustrator for the prompt of Snow.
For Snow, I wanted to do something fun. Being a huge fan of Game of Thrones, I decided to ink Jon Snow. I went straight to inking on this illustration using a 102 Hunts nib with no pencil sketch. The proportions are a little off. Jon Snow looks a little older, a little chubbier, and in deep thought. But I had fun getting the fuzzy look of the fur with hatching.
I’ve been having a good time with this year’s Inktober. It’s great to just let loose and not worry about being perfect. That’s how I approached this ink illustration of Jon Snow for the Snow prompt.
