Drawgust 2024 #8: Tin Man

A black and white illustration of a cartoon Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz holding up a human heart and staring at it inquisitively. The Tin Man's face has a puzzled expression, and he is holding his chin with his thumb and index finger. His eyes are hollow and an empty black. The heart is proportioned in a semi-realistic way, and lines to the sides of it indicate that it is still beating. Droplets of blood are flying out of it. A cartoon heart fills the background between the Tin Man's head and the heart, with a question mark made from negative space within.

So begins another week of Drawgust!

I'm not really sure what inspired today's illustration, but I like how it turned out. How did the Tin Man get ahold of a still-beating human heart? What does he do with it now? These are important questions that I do not have the answers to!

As always, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Rusty Nib 1 brush for linework, and the Rough Dot Shader 45/Light brush for shading.

Those last two brushes are from the Rusty Nib pack and the Beat Tones pack, by True Grit Texture Supply.
