Chicken Fight!!!!
My original idea was to draw someone afraid of heights with another person lightheartedly laughing at their phobia but that got super complicated in my mind. I knew I couldn’t finish the image on a single page so my second idea were two boys playing chicken fight. Have you played chicken fight in the pool before? I have and I was always thrown into the water. I have no upper body strength. 😆
The progress...
I drawing began by sketching blocky shapes to map out the bodies. It’s rare for me draw full bodies. It’s something I’m practicing so I’ve already determined that this drawing isn’t perfect, but that’s okay.
When I got to inking, I started with the upper half the boys. I knew that if I didn’t get the action pose right then it would look off.
Next I inked in the swim shorts and the parents/older siblings holding the boys.
I drew in water ripples to tie everything together.
For the first time ever I’m experimenting with more black inks. Hopefully I’ll get as good as @donnadavisart and @kommienezuspadt! Blocking out areas with black is very intimidating for me but I’m sure I’ll get better with practice. I’ll force myself to get better!
Shading in the background for contrast.
Black inked shadows in that water to draw in the eye and this image is complete!
