Hello strangers! In my previous Inktober post, I mentioned that I am planning to do only a few of this year’s prompts. Looking through the list, Dune was one of those that sparked my interest. Yea, yea, it is supposed to be a challenge by drawing things you usually would not even think of drawing, but as a complete beginner to ink drawings and in general, being slow with creating my pieces, I decided to take a bit more chill approach. And so I got to experiment with my new supplies on this one as well. New inks, new brushes, and liners! Christmas in October xD

The new Diamine ink in Jet Black is my new favorite! It is cooler-toned ink in comparison to the other one I used before. I also got Diamine in purple and can’t wait to put that to use. It is acrylic ink, so the finish is a lot shinier too. Now, now! Don’t laugh about my tape setup! I bought this tape some time ago from the art supply shop that was supposed to be for watercolor paper or something, but luckily I tested it before actually tapping my drawing down to the table. It’s too strong and rips the paper apart when removing it. A bit disappointing. Any suggestions for a better tape?

I was quite excited to try out the white pens and liners and dotted happily over the lighter areas of the underlying ink. The effect reminded me of something like pixie dust. Eh. Don’t ask! xD I also used the white liner for the stars. And I learned the hard way that liner is not the best tool for dotting despite the successful result. It has Japan Nib, and the liquid pigment tends to build up and leak, which can lead to an unexpected giant, white drop in the middle of your artwork. Shieeeeet! However, that also can be fixed since it’s water-based, after quite a freakout, of course.

The art looks quite captivating. Reminds me of a manga.

I like that one a lot. I like the negative space and the pointalism technique. It turned out teally well. Nice job

[m31]

Thank you! ^^ I am always a bit drawn to artwork with negative spaces, there's so much to learn about it still, but I am glad to have achieved something that resembles it :)

This is a cool piece. It has a print feel to it, like something from the 1920s.

Thank you! :*

A bit retro? I keep thinking about something old sci-fi, when I look at them myself.
