Octopuses

Black and White Ink, My Artworks & Process of Drawing

This is the first artwork of my new sea fantasy series. I was inspired by tentacles, corals, various amazing underwater creatures, and even a vintage / steampunk mood (it can be guessed in tiny details) 🙂

Can’t wait to finish other two pieces! 😀

The work continues 😊 Water-soluble tinted graphite pencils are magic. Can't express the joy I experience when I'm using them 😍 and the colors are exactly as subdued as I imagined for this artwork. . . . . . #graphitintpencils #watersolublegraphite #tintedgraphite #spectrumnoir #colourtint #sketchwithcolor #skullart #animalskull #drawingskill #lovedrawing #drawingtime #paintedskulls #naturelover #naturedrawing #drawflowers #artoninstagram #drawingforfun #darkart #forestplants #detailsinart #рисование #рисунки #graphitint

Dear Friends, thank you so much for your interest and attention to my artwork. I'm blown away and honored 🙏 Let me show you some close-up fragments and reveal the meaning behind the symbols. This artwork includes so many of them. A blindfolded girl with a deer skull on the head (it is here to provide additional defense from seeing reality and, at the same time, to scare everyone who may want to communicate). By the way, the blindfold isn’t completely impenetrable. There are gaps on each side and below it. No blindfold can be so perfect that reality can’t leak into our mind through the eyes, though this disturbing feeling that our expectations and the actual state of things aren’t the same… Deep inside our hearts, we always feel that our illusions are false. There are lynx and predatory birds—the symbols of aggression that is necessary to stay alive in this hostile world. They are always on guard, because a hunter may become prey. The kite’s legs are slightly shorter than normal, and this is done on purpose. They symbolize the unsteady position of the bird. It is strained, feeling the lack of support and confidence. Probably you’ve already noticed the spiderweb in the upper part of the drawing. It is the symbol of various traps that a person with a defective attitude sees everywhere. The carnivorous plants (in the bottom of the image) have a similar meaning. A snake is a symbol of misunderstanding. Some people are afraid of snakes, even of those non-poisonous. But snakes are a part of this world. They exist for a reason, and, in my opinion, this reason is enough to respect them. If we look deeper, we’ll see how beautiful these creatures are. I wanted to add a mysterious, almost witchery feel to the artwork. Small tufts of herbs hanging from the horns, help to convey this atmosphere. What kind of potion can be brewed, using those herbs? Depends on the purpose. Mushrooms and fern are symbols of this enchanted forest. There are so many elements that are inherent to woods, just take a look. I’ve created areas of dense, heavy ink covering. They increase the contrast, adding to the overall “dark” feel of the artwork. More ⬇️
