As I struggled a bit with hands during inktober I try to improve here and practice drawing hands now.
Unfortunately my sketching paper didnīt hold up well with the ink wash.

Recently I bought "Brody's Ghost" from Mark Crilley (you might know his YouTube channel or books) and I was really impressed from the (crime) story and the drawings.
A manga that I really can recommend.
So this inspired me to do my own fanart interpretation of the site spectre Kagemura the mentor and sensei of Brody.
Iīve used a Pentel pocket brush and pencils.

On Deviantart you currently get a new profile batch for making a sketch of Zatz from Maya and the Three.
So I made one

This piece is unusual for me in several aspects (beside that I only do digital ones quite rarely).
I tried a for me new process.
First I used no reference photos, the whole scene is completely out of imagination.
I did a traditional pencil sketch of what I had in mind.
Then I scanned the sketch and imported it in Procreate.
Then I created the actual line art digitally (based on the sketch) and colored it.
To be honest, I'm quite satisfied with it.

I am still in INKTOBER mood an playing around with brushpens and inks...
...and I'm still fascinated by the technique of layering with inks to create depth. Interestingly, this doesn't work equally well with every ink....

@Ptero I really like your execution. Great job.However, I have to admit, it pains me. Being butt naked on a broomstick is not an easy feet. Glad I'm no nudist wizard.

While I have known a few witches in my time, I don't know if any of them have ever ridden around wearing butt-floss, LOL.

Thanks for your comment junglejim, and thanks for teaching me a new word, never heard "butt-floss" before, sounds funny.
In german we say "String Tanga".
One can learn each day something new.
Ok, I interpreted your posts as request to draw another lady wearing butt-floss underwear.
Itīs bin a while since I did a traditional figure drawing with fountain pen and pencil so here it is, hope you like it:

It seems we have some fans of Elisabeth Montgomery here.
Even Bewitched is 50 years + old (1964- 1972) I have to admit that I also saw some episodes when I was young.
In German the title was "Verliebt in eine Hexe".
I didnīt made (tried) a portrait since a while, so here is my new pencil portrait inspired by you guys.

Since a nice person gave me a pretty little watercolor paint box, I also practice this technique:
...not so easy. The watercolor requires much more patience from me than I usually can find.
...an exercise in a double sense.

...watercolor is not an easy technique and I have huge respect for the masters!

Another figure drawing practice.
To be honest Iīm not really satisfied how it turned out, hands and feet are always difficult for me.
