Media: Illustration paper, black India ink, toothbrush, Pilot .7mm Ballpoint Pen.
Solace was created as part of a monster-a-day project in an Illustration class. The project encouraged creating a monster a day using various methods. Solace was made using a toothbrush to spread the black ink on paper. In place of a straw, I took apart a pen and used the small hole in the end to blow the ink in various directions. After creating the arbitrary design with ink, I then added the skeletal elements using a ballpoint pen.

This was the first project I had done which involved scanning the physical image to the computer for the purpose of digital alterations and embellishments. I digitally removed the paper background and also filled the subject with a solid black color. I was very impressed with the capabilities I had pm the computer and was pleased with the result.
The Monster-a-Day project is one of my favorites! Thank you for sharing this image (both versions of it)! It's fun to see what can become of a spontaneously blown ink.
