Inktober Adventure: Confronting the Overgrown with a Character Silhouette
Continuing my Inktober catch-ups, here’s my illustration for the prompt Overgrown. I immediately imagined a crazy bean stalk wall that was impossible to see through. I decided to create a silhouette of a character looking at the towering, overgrown wall. By doing this, I was able to keep the focus on the character while still being able to show the immense amount of the plants. It was a fun challenge.
I used my new LePen Technical Drawing Pen for this illustration. So the contour ink lines are all the same thickness, but the plants in the illustration were still diverse, with a lot of different shapes and sizes. This helped to create a sense of depth and made the inking feel more alive. I think the variety of plants also helped to create a more interesting composition, rather than having everything look the same.
