08-10 Inktober Challenge

Watch was initially going to be a wristwatch study, but then I had the idea of a peeping Tom watching through a hole in the wall in an Eastern-style bathhouse. I tried out some orthographic perspective but the foreshortening aspect perplexed and ultimately defeated me this time. Still, quite a fun sketch.

Pressure could also have gone one of two ways- I'd been watching the H.R Giger-inspired Alien series and had half a mind to sketch the idea of mental pressure/strain in the face of horror. However I ended up going with something more inside my comfort zone, a deep sea diving expedition, complete with my mental approximation of a lanternfish. I also did this during an English test (not much else for the teacher to do..), so it had to be SFW and quick enough to fit inside the 20 minute test window.

 

I've drawn something similar to this perspective before- a deep 1st person perspective of my desk at work. However, this time, the theme of 'pick' had me thinking of picking my nose (well, also pickaxes, but I thought that adding little miners to the sketch would be too, ahem, on the nose)... I used a mirror to check out the contours of the inside of my own nose and let my imagination take care of the rest... On a related note, can anyone recommend a decent nose-hair trimmer?

Long time no see!  I'll be turning 32 soon, and whilst life is in a comfortable place right now, I know that I've been on cruise-con...
