Illustration 2 - The Ink Imp

Day 2. I liked the feel of the Ink Imp doodle from a couple of weeks back and I liked the character so I decided to try and rework it today. This surprisingly took me most of the day, most of that playing with composition of the character and while I am pleased with parts of it I am not pleased with how other elements are working which is a little galling.

This may be one I have to visit again at some point, but not tomorrow as for now one day is enough time on this drawing so I will be concentrating on something else, not sure what yet but the candidates are lined up ready to be selected from.

FootNote: I guess I was in the Studio for around 11 hours today from 8 am apart from lunch and breakfast and fell asleep about 8.30 this even (something I don't normally do), on waking up now around half midnight I like this a little more than I did a few hours ago.

I love that you did this. The ink imp is a favorite of mine, and I know the joy and the value of reworking an illustration. This one and the earlier one of SMUDGE are wonderful.

About

Welcome to A Doodle A Day! Feel free to have a good look around and leave me a comment if you like what you see, or even if you don't!
A Doodle a Day is a place where I publish sketches created for fun and the love of drawing and more finished illustrations. I draw primarily with pen and ink, either dip pen or fountain pen. I do use other mediums such as watercolour, acrylics, pencil and soft pastels but my first love as a medium is pen and ink, especially dip pen.
I trained and worked for many years as a graphic designer, artist and studio manager within publishing as well taking on freelance projects. I draw for the sheer enjoyment of creating something from nothing but a white sheet of paper and a bottle of ink. I also work as an illustrator concentrating on Childrens illustration. I hope that you get as much enjoyment from seeing these sketches and illustrations as I do from creating them.

If you would like to enquire about my work or commissioning me then please contact chas@doodleaday.co.uk
