InkTober Day 8: Blood Moon

Blood Moon with Brush Pens

 

My InkTober drawing for Day 8 is inspired by today’s lunar eclipse and blood moon.

For today, I decided to try something different. I set aside the matryoshka doll theme and my drawing pens. I wanted to make an abstract drawing of a blood moon using only brush pens.  And with this drawing, I dipped the tips of the Akashiya Sai Japanese Traditional Colors brush pens in water to learn how to work with their spreading and shading effects.

Learning how to achieve the desired spreading and shading effects of these brush pens is hard, but I will keep trying. At this point, I’d like to believe that my drawings can only get better, right?
