Sour - Ink drawing, 21x16 cm, 2021

Day 11 of Inktober was one of those days when I felt everything click and form with ease. The theme of the day was - sour. The first thing I thought about, was Sour Patch Kids, but since I have never really held them in my hands nor tried them and only have heard about them in the movies or videos, I decided against proceeding with that idea further. I went with lemons and limes instead, and I don’t regret my decision one bit.


So I sketched a bunch of lemons as the start. The different color ink batch had not arrived in time yet, so I had no yellow ink to work with, unfortunately. I thought about reaching for watercolors once more but changed my mind. The lemons might as well turn into limons! Lime color while a more lemon shape, yes, limons! Diamine fountain pen ink Sherwood Green once more saves the day! I used it only on one of the limons and inked the rest with the Diamine jet black drawing ink to make a more dramatic contrast. The only green limon pops out of the picture so well.

To top it all off I used the white Gelly Roll Sakura liner 08 on the green one to put some stars on there, and Pigma Micron fine liner 03 to create dotted and line patterns on the monochrome ones.

I love every single drop of this ink! It creates such beautiful tones and patterns when water is added to it! Recommend!

Moar details! ^^

How are you feeling this autumn so far? I can’t explain it, but maybe being this busy with creative things, I am less depressed than usual, and I enjoy the prettiness of leaves more. Even the darkness is alright.

Song of the day: Gunship - The Mountain

The green part came out really well, looks like looking deep into a distant part of the universe.

Thank you. Yea, either like a green nebula or Northern Lights in the night sky. So happy I chose this ink.

You need sour straws more than sour patch kids. I want to send you some lol.

Sour straws? Looked them up They look so yummy xD Now I am craving something like that. I wonder n if we have them in the store and I have never noticed or we don't have them. I will have a look next time I go to the store.

They're like a better version of sour patch kids. Imagine a texture like licorice that is coated in a weird mix of sour and sweet. I don't really eat sweets but if I do that's a good one to indulge in.

How beautiful and sublime, the best thing is the delicacy of the details to perfect it. Glad to have seen this publication, excellent work.

Thank you @nisidc! I am glad you enjoyed it and the images with the closeup details. I feel sometimes just a single overall photo is not enough to grasp the nuances of the artwork. This way you get to have a closer look as if you would be holding it in your hands and paying attention to smaller parts of it.

Very cool drawing with the theme 'sour'. Still thinking on how to go about mine.

Thank you Marcus! Everything flowed so easily with this one. It feels so great when that happens.

This is amazing, I love it. Those details are fantastic!

Thank you so much @erikah! So happy to hear you loved it! I am pretty pleased with the composition and choices I made for it. It was a pure joy to be honest.

I participated once for a week, but I'm not sure it was last year or the year before. However, it was just to practice as I have no talent and my drawing skills are non existent.

Wonderful!😍

Thank youuu! :)
