Sizzling Action: My Inktober Day 3 Masterpiece
For Day 3 of Inktober, I decided to have some fun with the prompt “Roasted” and created a piece featuring a wurm style dragon breathing fire and roasting an unfortunate victim. I originally thought about drawing a knight but decided to use a generic character to keep the focus on the dragon and the action.
Since I’m been focusing on composition in my ink illustrations this year, I made a conscious effort to create a piece that would guide the viewer’s eye. The dragon’s looping form helps to draw the eye toward the flames and the roasted character. I also used a solid black background to help make the dragon stand out even more.
As I was working on this illustration, I couldn’t help but notice that the dragon looked like Shenron from Dragon Ball Z. This was probably subconscious because I have been watching Super Dragon Ball recently. Overall, I had a lot of fun with this illustration and felt that it was a success in both the action and composition.
