Inktober 2023 #18: Saddle

Here's my Inktober illustration for today's prompt, "saddle".

I struggled a bit with this one, because I just couldn't think of anything fun to do. Eventually I settled on drawing a dude on a mechanical horse, but I didn't have a plan beyond that. I like how things came together, and I am digging the way the textured Medium Nozzle spray paint brush can easily make things look mysteriously foggy.

Also, I was hesitant to put a rocket on the back of the horse, because I know it looks like a giant, gaping butthole in the sketch. But I stand by my decision. 😎

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Inka brush for linework and blocking out shapes, and the Old Beach brush, Soft air brush, and Medium Nozzle spray paint brush for shading/effects.

If you'd like to see how I drew this one, you can watch the time-lapse below:
