Inktober 2025 #9: Heavy

An illustration of a cartoon man trying to lift a large barbell weight. The man's back is arched backward and the bar between the large round weights is bending. His head is facing upward and all that is visible of his face is his nose, mustache, and gritted teeth. Two drops of sweat are coming out of his head. The man has a light complexion and is wearing a white tank top and dark pants. There is a burst of energy in the background behind the man, and the drawing is in black and white.

Today's Inktober prompt was "heavy", so... I drew a dude trying to lift something heavy!

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, the Syrup brush for fills, and the Rough Dot Shader 45 Light brush for the halftone shading.

The Rusty Nib brush is from the Rusty Nib pack and the Rough Dot brush is from the Beat Tones pack, both by True Grit Texture Supply.

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