Inktober day 31/2017 - Mask

I took the mask from the Inktober year 2017 and brought it to this year and boy oh boy the mask isn't happy at all. It took one look at the current year and started bleeding. It still bleeds, I guess till the year ends and it's not pretty to look at.

It bleeds for all of the conspiracy theories, all the hate and anger towards other people in a situation where everyone is almost as helpless as the other guy, it bleeds for all the sadness, loneliness, all the unfulfilled hopes and dreams of those who have tried to study, work and be young and live a happy life for the past two years. It bleeds for all the people who can't do anything about their situation, who have no place to escape the status quo, who have lost their lives or their loved ones. And it also bleeds for all those who choose to be ignorant, choose to believe in rumors, choose to believe in everything else than science and the majority of scientists.

What a wonderful start for a new year.

Fortunately this is just a drawing.

And just a text.

I got a new pen and lost the ability to draw straight lines. I tried and tried but couldn't do them anymore, without any help from the app which I didn't want, so I decided to give in to curves, loops, scrambles, twists and partial randomness. Irregularities.

As usual, I exported the drawing from the Sketchbook app as psd to my computer and did just few minor adjustments. I absolutely love the app and the fact that there are layers in it. Mostly I use it so that it's easy to just delete afterwards some bigger maneuvers I've done if it doesn't' look good.
