Out of Ink (Repost)

A dreaded moment and yet there is so much satisfaction in it. Knowing that all this ink went into the creation of something dear to the eyes of the artist. Breathing life in the inanimated heart of a clay figure. How much does it reveal about the relation between the creator and the creation? Always how personal this journey is and will remain.

New repost and this time as for the first time I had published this one I am officially out of ink. The tragic result of using a ballpoint pen to draw an ink portrait of a scarecrow. But so worth it. I can't wait to share these portraits with you guys. 😊 Until then, enjoy this little illustration on the subject matter, of this moment of sheer terror. As always, the contrasts were what I needed to work on, and some of the characters.
