For the second day of Inktober, the theme is “Divided.”

Honestly, it took me a minute as I flipped throught he catalog of monsters in my head (hey, there are a lot of legendry creatures logged in there!) I needed a monster that could divide itself, which is not a common trait, and as I flipped through my creature catalog I rememed one very famous serpent- the Hydra. Made famous in the legend of Heracles (aka Hercules) and his twelve labors (Hydra was labor #2, so fitting for today, the second day of the challenge.)

Most fun part was drawing the inside slice of the Hydra, something I don’t normally do. I’m also challengeing myself to largely freehand the ink work, just laying down some red penciled guidelines under the inks. Working on my linework control as well.

Cheers,

Kat
