I’m posting these pictures, even though I’m not overly pleased with them as a whole as inktober is about improvement and practice. I decided to draw Sandra Bullock from gravity to start with, because I found that film haunting and beautiful, and because I watched The Martian (2015) Ridley Scott a few days ago and was so disappointed with the visuals and themes that I had to go back and draw from a superior film. The second image is Marion Cotillard in Macbeth (2015) which I saw last night, and although it wasn’t the greatest version I’ve watched I loved the visuals and I loved how Lady Macbeth was portrayed.
I’m happy stylistically with my pictures and with the quality of the work, I just feel that neither look like their intended actresses. Day 5 will be better.

I have found that i cant draw perfectly every time and i have drawings that I am disappointed with as well. But when i do draw something pretty special, i am pretty happy. Maybe its a yin/yang balance thing!
I’m learning to appreciate that even if I’m not entirely happy with a picture it’s contributed towards my practice at least on an experimental level 🙂 it’s very satisfying when an image pays off though
Then when we get that drawing that is outstanding, we don’t understand why others aren’t buying this piece! Ha!
Yeah people always seem to like the work I’m least proud of and not appreciate the better work ha!
I too have a few drawings i’m not satisfied with, but when i do draw that really good piece, i’m excited about the outcome. Maybe it takes a few so-so drawings before the great one arrives?
