Shocked — Hive

Shocked | 1748 x 2480 px | Digital Art with Autodesk Sketchbook App | 2025

I haven't drawn anything for almost a week. When I reopened the Autodesk Sketchbook application, I found that one layer of the previous artwork was still left behind. It was the layer with the eye object in it. Then I wondered why I didn't use this layer again, even though I didn't know where it could be embedded. After all, I hadn't thought about what I wanted to draw.

After ten minutes of struggling with the digital canvas on my gadget screen, after scribbling and erasing several times, somehow I ended up drawing a skull. At first, just a basic line with a pencil tip. Then I filled it in using a rough brush. After the shape was visible, I tried several possible colors, but finally I concluded to use only black and white, also the gradation between both.

I reappeared the eye layer from the previous image after I thought the basic image was enough to represent a skull. Then I tried to place it in the eyelid hole. But in an asymmetrical formation to make the skull look more expressive. So, ciao & wassalamu...

Here is my process:
