Inktober #1: 304 West German Street
🕑 Added 2018-10-02 04:26:19 +0000 UTC This inktober is gonna be a tough one for me this year! The book I'm working on is going to be very environment-heavy, and environments are NOT my forte. So I'm going to practice drawing houses, rooms, and other scenes for the rest of the month, mostly from Shepherdstown.This is the house that inspired the very book I'm writing, so it seemed fitting to start here. This is me drawing it how I normally would - clumsily, impatiently, and with a brush pen. My goal is to draw places like this simply, gracefully, and with a brush pen (although I may give up on this particular brush pen - it's a Kuretake Zig "Clean Color Real Brush" and it is GREAT, but it's also unforgiving!).
In the meantime, here are some process shots of the new header image & avatar I drew in celebration of finally starting this book! I may not be a whiz at drawing backgrounds, but I can still draw a human and a cat pretty alright!
These were both mainly drawn with my go-to tools: a Zebra extra fine brush pen and Copic warm grey markers. If I can't make those Zig brushes work, I'll probably go back to these old standbys!

I'm surprised backgrounds are a weak point for you, I've always admired yours! Here's to inktober and us all getting a little stronger. π€
Danielle Corsetto

I really like how the header image came out!

[happy dance emoji] Operation "if I can see the color of my walls, I haven't framed and hung enough art" continues. :)

Y'know, I should. I already have a lot of people interested on Insta. I'll make a little discount code for patrons and sell them near the end of the month if I can!
Andy Ihnatko
Will you be selling your Inktober drawings at some point?
Danielle Corsetto
I wouldn't be surprised if he GREW THEM

Pip is hilarious looking. BTW, Target is selling a little toy bat in their Halloween line that's the spitting image of Pip except for the wings, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have those.

I'm certain that I'll read anything you write/draw. Don't look so daunted! Can exteriors be any more difficult than lady bits?
Andy Ihnatko
I'm pretty sure Pip's about to eat your signature.
