Inktober Day 13 - "Pattern"

AKA, "The time I drew a dog way too many times". My concept for this one was, "what if a Dalmation, but with Zebra stripes?" I got to use a fun, new pen and test out some red ink - so I wouldn't call it a complete waste of time. I spent a lot of that time drawing and erasing the dog over and over again. I'm not completely satisfied with the end result - but I am happy I ended up with something. I want to keep drawing. I want to keep challenging myself. I want to get better.

Trying out a challenge to myself - to create "finished" pieces with a limited color palette on a consistent schedule. I am still working out the final guidelines. I think I would like to challenge myself to use a new texture in each piece as well. I've had this unfinished sketch in my sketchbook forever. Even though I'm not entirely happy with it - it feels great to finally have it done!

Trying some new ways of picking colors for my digital pieces. I was not aware that Illustrator has a tint slider. I feel much more confident sticking to a very limited number of hues with a tint and shade for each. This illustration uses only three: blue, pink, and tan. Twinbee is one of my favorite video games - it perfectly captures the weird concepts and bright colors that find their way into my work. Not sure where this pose came from, but I didn't want it to waste away in my sketchbook.
