Roshen Draws

I did a sketch for a friend almost three years ago. I inked it, and I painted it, and I nearly ruined it, but I had the good sense to photograph it right after inking (I don’t have a scanner). 

It’s sat in my laptop for those three years and every now and then I pull it up to figure out how to finish it. I’ve re-painted it twice IRL, and twice digitally, and every time I got closer to something I like before putting it away again.

Today I figured I’d give it another go, and put a good couple-three hours in. Since I still don’t completely get color I used a pair of Dizzy Tara’s ‘random’ palettes. 

So on this day, in 2016, I think I’ve finished it. 

Oddly enough, I didn’t realize how much I had Black Dynamite, I’m Gonna Git You Sucka and pretty much anything Van Peebles’ related on the brain. 

Notes from a pretty busy day.

Some kind of Dice Clay and a small study of one of J. Le Rolland’s characters.

One for the evening. I Thought I’d play around with negative space, really enjoyed it. Simpler, in a way. I got to ignore the details drawing with the eraser. Popping in specific shapes to imply form. So...

Fallen off the inktober wagon, but that doesn’t mean I can Inkvember or Inkcember, knowhatimean?
