And now for something totally different: an ink of one of my favorite OCs of all time.
My goodness, I've been itching to draw this for a week. This was originally drawn as a doodle in one of my notebooks, and I used that as a reference for the final product.
This is a rework of her 2015 design. I wanted to make her outfit better influenced by ninjas in general, while still retaining the coat. This was also meant to be all purely drawn in ink, but decided to keep using a pencil for her waist sash and the floral pattern on her pants.
It's been forever since I've made an ink! And in my ink book too. I admit though that I've been avoiding doing anything that isn't digital. They usually end up uncolored, and I'm really trying to post more colorful work on my website. For the longest time, my website has featured a lot of work in monochrome and I just want to change that.
But this was a whole lot of fun. I remembered how pleasing it is to make inks when you have a steady hand and a piece of paper under your hand to keep the ink from smudging by accident. 😆 Also, the satisfying feeling of just filling up a ton of space in black and making a clear seam to separate one black area from another is like damn, that feels good when you nail it just right. 👌
This will be the only ink I'll be posting for a while, but man, it was worth it. I feel like I really did her some justice here. Next time I'll have her drawn in color!
