Unleashing My Inner Rebel: Inktober Day 4

For Inktober Day 4, the prompt word was “Spell”. As part of my challenge to focus on composition this year, I tried to create depth. I used a solid black silhouette of a cityscape in the background. In the foreground, I drew a person spray-painting the word “resist.” I included a train cutting across the panel to further enhance the sense of depth.

I found that using solid black to separate the different sections of the composition worked in creating a cohesive overall image. I decided to use a ruler for this particular piece. It really helped with all the details on the train. Overall, I felt that this illustration was a success, and I enjoyed drawing and inking it.

One personal achievement for me during the creation of this piece was inking it at a Starbucks. I typically do not draw or ink in public, so this was a significant step in pushing myself out of my comfort zone.
