Inktober 2022: Crossover with Cartoonist Kayfabetober

I wanted to do one Inktober/Cartoonist Kayfabetober crossover drawing. Plan was to have it as last drawing. Idea got bigger and bigger. Wanted to do it properly outside Inktober which I keep minimalistic black and white. This is how I normally draw.

Drawing has farm which is 31st day’s prompt in Inktober. Cartoonist Kayfabetober prompts are Street Angel (5), The Crow (11), Jim Rugg (12), Ed Piskor (13), Red Room (17), Cartoonist Kayfabe (26), Lovecraft (30) and The Great Pumpkin (31). Lovecraftian version of The Great Pumpkin counts as both. That makes eight Cartoonist Kayfabetober propmpts. Tom Scioli is the third man. I don’t know what is his status in Cartoonist Kayfabe but he visits the videos quite often. Tried to add as many prompt as possible without making it obvious I try to add as many prompts as possible.

This was inspired by Alpha Flight issue 6 by John Byrne. I have never read it but have seen one video of it. I put it at the end of this post. Didn’t have any good ideas for this week’s drawing. Had to use bad one. I didn’t want it to be only a joke. Tried to have impactful sound effect. Not sure if it works.

Next week’s drawing will have more effort put into it. Didn’t want to draw heads again. Have got better at it but not enough to publish another head drawing.

Duoshade drawing demo by Cartoonist Kayfabe

Duoshade paper has two set of lines embedded. You have two chemicals you paint the paper with to reveal those lines. One chemical reveals one set of lines and other both sets of lines. In video Cartoonist Kayfabe show how it works. I didn’t know this was a thing before Cartoonist Kayfabe started to talk about the technique in their earlier videos. At the end of the video has link to video where they explain the technique.

Video’s title warns us we might get jealous to try this. I didn’t get jealous. I got inspired. Last two weeks I have been going through Corel Painter video course. I wasn’t that interested of paper textures, dab stencils or flow maps until I watched the video. After watching if I went to Painter and started to play with paper textures and dab stencils. I think I need duoshade texture to use in my black and white art.
