I want to work more on the whole action/drama on this drawing. I’m trying to capture the waterfall, but I guess it’s another day of learning.

And with this, Inktober 2021 is officially finished!

When you are scared, but you do it anyway, that’s brave.

I like snakes. I always feel their images on mass media are rarely justified. In Disney’s animation “The Jungle Book,” Kaa is displayed as one of the antagonists as Disney himself felt that audience would not sympathize with snake character — despite the Kaa character on the novel is actually one of the mentors for Mowgli, alongside Baloo and Bagheera.

But I have to admit, Disney’s snakes are hilarious. Kaa (The Jungle Book) and Sir Hiss (Robin Hood) are my favorite.

This work shall be titled as “Ssssssselfie” (get it? Get it?)

I really don’t have any idea how to draw the porcupine’s feet — that’s the reason I always have them covered on the drawings.

This drawing is that kind of drawing that I thought I’m going to hate, but I found myself interested on it. I think it’s because of the tree trunk texture (the tree rings.) This is that type of drawing that made you go, “WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS PERSPECTIVE,” and you ended up with, “huh. It’s not THAT bad…”

The “crispy” reference is on the beef rasher/bacon on the plate, BTW.

I just finished an evening meeting and my brain is half-fried so I decided to use minimalistic approach — and I miss watching fireworks.

I did this drawing while listening to Ryuichi Sakamoto’s “Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence.” Somehow the mood fits.
