Universal Gift | Finally finish inktober! Days 28-31 (GIFT, DOUBLE, JOLT, SLICED)

---

Seven days after the end of October, seven days after the official completion of the Inktober challenge, seven days I was late to finally upload my last drawing for this challenge. Hello steemians! I've been struggling for days with my internet connection, but finally I had a chance to connect and show you a simple but nice illustration, closing my participation in Inktober 2018.

This was my first year doing such a wonderful challenge, I started briskly and ended quite late, but it was a great month, no doubt I feel that I have improved my skills as a drawer, especially I have fostered my imagination by trying to interpret each topic on the list. Although it is a little exhausting, with this challenge I have really cultivated the habit of drawing every day, maybe I won't publish some drawing day after day, but without a doubt have the certainty that I'm dedicating a few hours of my day to detail and create nice strokes to show you.

As I mentioned before, this illustration is quite simple, but I liked it very much, in it I try to compress the remaining themes of my Inktober, they are "Gift", "Double", " Jolt" and "Sliced". The truth is that it was very difficult for me to integrate all of this within the same drawing, so perhaps I should explain it a little; the idea is based on our beautiful universe, which expands at every moment, so the undulation at its feet ( Jolt), creating new stellar wonders (Gift), unifying rocks or dividing them to generate new worlds (Slice) and being an almost inexplicable force of which we only know very little and really know only what our eyes can see, by the colorful reflection (Double). Is the idea crazy or do you love it?

Materials:

• Autodesk Skecthbook
• Adobe Photoshop

-Step 1:

The idea came up on a bus trip, I always carry my sketchbook with me to make lines and entertain myself, I almost never really do anything very definite there.

-Step 2:

Once at home, with the help of Autodesk Sketchbook I started the sketch, I did it all from scratch, taking as a reference the pencil sketch that I had done before.

-Step 3:

In a new layer, I dedicated myself to improve the lines of the sketch, tracing them as best as possible, since I would keep them until the end of the drawing.

-Step 4:

I took special focus on the hair, I wanted to give it a watery and spatial look, something like what I would do with real ink on paper.

-Step 5:

Then I took the process to Photoshop, there I created the shadow and distorted it a little, simulating the undulation around the silhouette of the universe. I have also colored the planets, using unsaturated tones, thus avoiding robbing the viewer's attention.

-I'll leave you a little gif with the whole process in it, so you can better observe the step by step.

Next I will leave you a calendar with all my drawings for the challenge, I kept this idea from the beginning, but this time I will put a miniature of each drawing, so you can easily go to take a look at those who call your attention.
