Inktober... I did it!

ENG. It’s been a long October, it is the first time I finish an Inktober challenge and I feel very satisfied. I really like Inktober because on the one hand it is an exercise limited by one word, but on the other hand, you have all the freedom to draw anything (I mean anything!) that comes to your mind.

It is always a challenge to work on a daily illustration, especially at the level I would like to, but I’ve learned to relax, enjoy it and take it for what it is, just an exercise and even though I didn’t like all the drawings, I noticed how my hand got really loose and I’ll definitely make some pieces inspired by these sketches. I am very happy because of the evolution, specially in the creative aspect and really enjoyed using different types of strokes and inks. It is also the first time that I do the challenge with a friend and it is very nice to see the evolution of his drawing and to share our results, joys and frustrations. What a good Inktober! hopefully many more come. These are my inktober illustrations ñ______ñ

I think I’m going to make a 2020 Calendar with some of them.

ESP. Ha sido un Octubre largo, es la primera vez que termino un reto Inktober y me siento muy satisfecha. Realmente me gusta Inktober porque por un lado es un ejercicio limitado por una sola palabra, pero por otro lado, tienes toda la libertad de dibujar ¡cualquier cosa que se te ocurra!.

Siempre es un desafío trabajar en una ilustración diaria, especialmente al nivel que me gustaría, pero aprendí a relajarme, disfrutarlo y tomarlo como lo que es, solo un ejercicio y aunque no me gustaron todos los dibujos, noté cómo se iba soltando mi mano conforme iban pasando los días y definitivamente haré algunas piezas inspiradas en estos bocetos. Estoy muy contenta porque me gustó el resultado y la evolución, sobretodo en el aspecto creativo y disfruté mucho usar diferentes tipos de trazos y de tintas. También es la primera vez que hago el reto con un amigo y es my bonito ir viendo la evolución de su dibujo y poder compartir nuestros resultados, alegrías y frustraciones. Qué buen Inktober, ojalá vengan muchos más. Estas son mis ilustraciones de este Inktober ñ______ñ

Creo que haré un Calendario 2020 con algunas de estas ilustraciones.

Bjork's Utopia

Illustration inspired by Björk’s new album Utopia and the amazing art around it: orchid mask by James T. Merry and bizarre makeup by Hungry. I just love everything about Björk’s work.

Utopia
Bird species never seen or heard before
The first flute carved from the first fauna
Utopia (It’s not)
Elsewhere
Let's purify
You assigned me to protect our lantern
To be intentional about the light
Utopia
It isn't elsewhere
It, it’s here
My instinct has been shouting at me for years
Saying let’s get out of here
Huge toxic tumor bulging underneath the ground here
Purify, purify, purify, purify toxicity
