Description
Day 14 of Inktober with a *twist*, the MasterStudiesAndMore Inktober flavor.
Prompt was "Overgrown". This time there were lots of washes with different values. I took the chance to see what the digital watercolor brush could do: wet paperΒ gives interesting results but its a pain to control, bleeding of paint does not work, I got lost with the individual layers of washes.
Original is 'Gulliver kisses the Queen of Brobdingnagia's hand' (1909) by Arthur Rackham

This is soooo close to the original that you can't tell them apart until you click on the thumbnail

IΒ zoomed out a lot regularly (as a thumbnail) to get if values were getting close to the original. I'm glad it kind of worked!Β
But it does have its limits, and requires some patience. Those spots and uneven texture were probably very easy and fast to do with the real medium. I stopped half way.

Not on purpose, surely not because of my "Bait"Β .
By the way, both originals are in ink, only ~30 years apart. I wonder if A. Rackam also did a master study of Abbey's Judith Shakespeare

Mostly web search for images with a lot of keywords: illustration, drawing... This one I found when looking for the snow white illustration, both are from A. Rackham. I tried Tate online, that frolic-horror used on one of her submission, and its search filters are pretty effective: www.tate.org.uk/
And a couple from seeing online tutorials on old masters, general painting theory...
