Charcoal On Dead Trees

Hi! My name is Chico! This is my drawing blog, where I'll post any drawings (mostly pencil on paper, so expect poor quality scans sometimes) that I feel like sharing. Enjoy! Also, check out my plant/aquarium/nature/photography blog @ gimfc.tumblr.com

Hope you all enjoyed this as much as I did and stay tuned for some remakes during November ;) Pigment ink and markers on regular 100g paper. • • • #inktober #inktober2018 #slice #python #ballpython #snake #snek #leaves #reptile #pigmentink #ink #inkdrawing #drawing #markers #artgram #instaart #instaartist #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #illustration #illustrator #illustragram #illust https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpn3EpdF4-F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14fshhyrfssiq

Inktober’18 Day 29: double Coming back from a small friendly reunion and I’m feeling real emotional so I drew this. I guess it relates to the word prompt if you see it as an embracing of your true/other self. Or just yourself. It’s important to love that other part of you that people don’t always, if ever, see. Idk, @jakeparker does this still count? 😂 Anyways I’m really happy about how it turned out. It’s feel-y. If that makes any sense. Pigment ink, markers and white gel pen on regular 100g paper. • • • #inktober #inktober2018 #double #hug #hugging #love #embrace #stars #ethereal #constellations #ink #pigmentink #inkdrawing #drawing #markers #whitegelpen #instaart #instaartist #instaartwork #art #artist #artwork #illustration #illustrationartists #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #illust https://www.instagram.com/p/BpilYt7nDCr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gz2kv86ecmfk

Inktober’18 Day 27: Thunder ...is the name of this cat! Ugh, ok, I messed up and thought today’s prompt word was lightning (cuz it’s always thunder and lightning, there’s never one without the other!). I still enjoyed staying up till 3 am doing my Thunder. Wait till you hear the meow on this one!

Inktober’18 Day 25: Prickly Didn’t see that one coming, did ya instagram? I’ve been regressing to my 14 year-old self’s music taste (i.e., emo, metal, punk and everything in between) lately so when I checked today’s prompt word this morning I knew exactly what I was going to draw. Punk’s not dead and neither are its fans. I feel like buying black clothes now. Help.

Inktober’18 Day 22: Expensive What is that thing that you’d sell your very soul for? Kinda late night working on this one and kinda struggled with the dip pen on this one AND am kinda running out of ink for the brushpens but I still enjoyed making this! I had the shadow demon thingy with antlers concept in my mind for some time now and I’m glad I managed to finally put it on paper!

Inktober’18 Day 18: Bottle Omgosh I love skulls. Plants & bones is aesthetics af. How did the skull get inside the bottle? Dm me with your theories. I really had a blast drawing this with the dip pen and I’m finding it harder and harder to not go buy a decent nib to draw with! It’s really a lot of fun and feels so sophisticated to use them. Like a gentleman during the 19th century.

Inktober’18 Day 17: Swollen. Now I know I kinda deviated from the prompt word but I was out of ideas and I wanted to make an emotional piece cuz life and I really didn’t feel like drawing a balloon or a fat frog or whatever. I like the final piece. That’s Aloe growing out of his head, does this make more sense now?

Inktober’18 Day 15: weak Honestly I don’t know what to tell you guys. I’m having fun with the dip pens I barely care about the drawing itself xd today’s inktober piece isn’t too far off from the prompt word but I honestly don’t have a story for it, I just made what I felt like making with the dip pens 😅 Pigment ink on regular 100g paper . • • • #inktober #inktober2018 #weak #fetalposition #clover #fourleafclover #plants #leafs #abstract #concept #dippen #inoxcrom #idk #havingfuniswhatmatters #ink #pigmentink #inkdrawing #drawing #art #artsy #artwork #artoftheday #instaart #artist #instaartist #artistsoninstagram #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo-X8kOHCfw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=35k31wkaiur9
