Inktober 2021, Day 18: Moon

<center><sub>Moon - Ink drawing, 21x16 cm, 2021</sub></center>

<div class="text-justify">Day 18 prompt was - <em>moon</em>. I am not going to lie, I have been enjoying the last few days since I am a sucker for space and universe themes! Is that any secret by now? However, I feel myself getting even more tired and slower. I also felt the need to do justice to these themes I love so much, so I am putting in extra effort to get <em>there</em>. It means scrapping the works where I feel I have made a misstep and deviated from where I wanted it to go. I scrapped one for the moon too. At the same time, the scrapped version helped me find the needed effect, so nothing was lost. 

<center>![](https://i.imgur.com/NshA0FZ.jpg)</center>

I wanted to work on the alternative version of our Moon. I spent a bit of time staring at this [<em>reference photo</em>](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e1/FullMoon2010.jpg), wondering what elements make the Moon Mooney, staring at the various crater shapes. Damn, that porcelain surface is a masterpiece! So captivating no wonder I can never get enough staring at it through a telescope too. 

I started with a sketch that included the main craters and then outlined the dark ones with a Pigma brush pen. I have to mention since the previous post my brush pen is pretty much ruined too. There are loose bristles and all! I will need to order a bunch of new ones. 

I then proceed with adding the mane shading in the dark craters and of the whole surface using the Diamine jet black drawing ink. And the next step was to draw the white craters. Here comes the failed version. In it, I used the white Gelly Roll liner 08 only to draw them. The result did not pack the needed punch. It was patchy and chaotic. It is where I wondered about <em>what if I used acrylic white color as a base and added the Gelly Roll on top?</em> I redid everything up until the white craters and did just that. It worked! They even have a bit of relief! 

Finally, I scattered some smaller craters all over the surface and did a bit of additional shading pattern in the darker areas using Pigma Micron fine line 03.</div>

Space theme! Nice
I share your feelings of being tired and slower. I think it's the weather or season change for me. It's harder to get out of  bed in the morning.

Yep, same here. Especially since this old house turns into a walk in freezer during autumn and winter times. Usually in mornings the fire in the furnace has died and it is so uncomfortable for hours until it heats up again xD

Thank you! I love, love poking around on the paper at the tiniest details for hours. It has been tougher for me now that I don't have as much time and have to get it done within the day. Normally I focus on each art work minimum 2 days xD

It is hard to finish in a day, nonetheless, I still think what can acheived is amazing!  (I really like the white effect on the crater's ripples, it looks like the real thing)
