Today's Inktober illustration is probably going to make me look quite old but today was a long day and I couldn't think of anything better for the prompt, "flex", so I drew Popeye (the Sailor Man).
I used to watch Popeye cartoons when I was a kid, on Nickelodeon maybe? If I remember correctly, they used to re-run these old cartoons alongside Rocky & Bullwinkle, Yogi Bear, and a slew of other Hanna Barbara shows. They were silly, but they sure made spinach look tasty!
Anyway, 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 Rough Dot Shader - 45° Light brush for shading, and the Worn 3 - Subtle brush for texture. I also used the Syrup brush for assisting with fills.
The Rusty Nib brush is from the Rusty Nib pack, the Rough Dot Shader brush is from the Beat Tones pack, and the Worn brush is from the Fast Grit pack, all by True Grit Texture Supply.
If you'd like to see how I drew this one, you can watch the time-lapse below:
And if you'd like to watch all of the time-lapses, you can find them all on this YouTube playlist.
Thanks to everyone for following along and supporting me through this project. I appreciate it!
