Rotring Art Pen with black ink and a waterbrush wash, and Diamine Star Bright Glacier with the Teranishi dip glass nib.

Spiders are in full swing here, half grown Orb Weavers are spinning their webs everywhere as insects ramp up as does the heat, so I had good hopes of finding something interesting in the garden. This little scene caught my eye. We had rain overnight, and while the spider was no doubt sheltering somewhere, the web was mostly intact and had caught a few rain drops, which at first glance seemed to just be hanging in the air.

I was struck by the brightness of the web and dew in the sunlight, and the relative dullness of the foliage and fence against it, so used it as a good reason to break out one of the Diamine Star Bright inks. It sure does shine.

An ink and wash drawing depicting a white cat on a bedraggled broomstick flying in the sky. The ink sheens purple on bright blue, and if you turn it right, has gold flecks too. There's writing in the sky, it says

"The Broom and the Cat had never got on. But with the Witches disappearance an uneasy alliance began. Together they set forth into the night sky."

I was going to go all Kambarang and go searching for some flowering Native Broom, but I have had a couple of nights I terupted sleep and early mornings, I am not even letting myself drive, I'm that tired and headachy so here's what was easier. The ink is a favourite of mine and the pen is glow in the dark! :-)

Day 13 of #Arttrober is Reze, the Bomb Devil hybrid of Chainsaw Man.

So by my recollection, this is the fourth Chainsaw Man character I've drawn. Stanley Lau (the Arttrober creator) must really like Chainsaw Man. Maybe I should actually watch/read it sometime.

Struggled a little getting this one looking right. Not sure why; maybe just mid-month fatigue?
