Sharp Lines and Cross-Hatching: Inking of Mad Max for Inktober
In October 2015, I participated in Inktober and did an ink drawing inspired by the Mad Max: Fury Road movie. The drawing is of Max wearing a metal muzzle when he was strapped to the front of the villain Nux’s roadster. I used Micron pens and a Sharpie pen for the ink illustration.
For this drawing, I experimented with a lot of cross-hatching, more than I usually do. I wanted to try a new approach to inking and challenge myself to use only ink pens without a pencil sketch underneath. While the result is a little wonky and stiff, I’m really happy with how it turned out.
