Description

Day 15 of Inktober with a *twist*, the MasterStudiesAndMore Inktober flavor.

Prompt was "Legend". That's my first try with real ink.

Things that did not go well: I started drawing from the character's head, a very poor choice as a place to warm up and try the new set up (way too much ink was flowing out from the water kick-start). It then stabilized. My reference was on a way too high desktop monitor with me drawing on the desk. I finished with black fingertips.

It was straight to ink and one cannot erase, but you can't beat the feeling of using traditional media and I have still plenty of ink

Reference is Illustration to `Judith Shakespeare` (1883), by Edwin Austin Abbey.

All supplies were upcycled/reused: disposable pen that had run out of ink, ink is from an outdated inkjet cartridge and drawing was done on the back of a failed watercolor ocean.
