I got featured in a podcast! My amazingly multi-talented Paint Nite colleague @wendyandersonart has started a sweet new podcast on art, creativity and what it means to be a working artist. I really enjoy her art and it was a great pleasure to meet her (virtually=) and to chat about art. She had some really fascinating questions! My interview is episode 4, in case you wanted to give it a listen 😜 (Link in bio)

Time to wrap up this year. #artvsartist2020 featuring my most liked work of this year. Funny enough, all of these images were made for #inktober2020 proving one more time that you can't wait for a muse to knock on your door. If you keep showing up every day magic will happen!

Happy New Year everyone! I wish 2021 will bring all the everything we are hoping it would!

Arrakis spice eater.

This was a really fun one. My two passions, art and books combined😁 Thanks, @dylan_sara , for the inspiration and @jeand0r
for sharing such a cool picture to work from!
.
.
I really enjoyed getting back to the Dune universe. However, I can't say I've gotten too deep into the series. I loved the world Frank Herbert created with the sand covered planet Arrakis filled with intrigue, human computers and giant sandworms that produce "spice", a drug that heightens your senses and turns its' users' eyes blue. Nevertheless, I found the quality of the series fall lower and lower with every subsequent book. I think I stopped somewhere on book 4. Did anyone go further? Is it worth reading till the end?

Thank you for the reference and inspiration @vinganapathy ! I can't really agree with calling any human being disgusting (even when it comes to vanity) but I really liked your reference pic. I am still not used to working with markers but it was a fun break from ink washes.

It was the hardest image to make. The day I was supposed to draw from this photo for day 10 of the challenge, my grandmother has passed away. I couldn't bring myself to touch this image. At first I wanted to do her portrait instead, but I am not ready for that either. Now, I can see hope in this image again. Here goes #slimthecowboy with his grandson. I hope he wins his battle with cancer.

Well, my plan for yesterday was to quickly whip out a couple of these and get all caught up with the challenge. Instead the Rodent took me 4 hours and I didn't even start thinking about the next one. Oh well, at least I am almost happy with the way it turned out and THAT does not happen often. Thank you for the inspiration, @artoisotalo !

Not my usual tools but it was fun to try something different. Markers still feel a bit awkward for me but they are clean and fast so maybe they are worth exploring further. For those of you who use them on regular basis, any tips on making them go on smoother when covering a large area?

Who is excited for #inktober2020? This girl! After several years of unsuccessful attempts, I finally found a challenge I like: #inktober2020portraitchallenge ! I will draw a portrait a day for a month using a reference provided by @sktchy. I may be cursing myself by the end of it, but right now I am super excited and full of optimism=)))) Follow me here to see my results!

What are your plans for #inktober? Is anyone else doing it?

In honor of #inktober, I am going to teach a virtual ink figure course via zoom. It will consist of five Monday night sessions, starting at 7pm MST on October 19th, 2020. You will learn how to create expressive gestural images of a human figure with ink using photo and video references. The course is for all levels, whether you want to try a new medium, gain a better understanding of a human figure or want to loosen up your style.
To register visit my website www.yuliatsinko.com or follow a registration link in bio.I hope to see you there!
