Hello friends from Hive and Holozing community,

After a few days without being able to participate due to circumstances beyond my control and a little sad for missing two days, today I continue with the Zingtober challenge, guided by the calendar of this Inktober.

The challenge for this day had the theme of "grungy," and I decided that my drawing, without losing my style, would adopt parts of a grungy aesthetic, full of carelessness and wear, often dark. For the main character, I was inspired by a Forest Healer, whom I dressed in dark clothes. I started with a very simple sketch to remember the musical groups that adopted this aesthetic in the 90s. I gave her messy hair and added some accessories like the choker with the Z and the gem. For the background, I used a casual and urban style, relying on the versatility of my brushes, full of stains, scratches, and scribbles, all with different textures. I really liked the rock aspect I achieved.

As always, I leave part of the process and the final result, which I hope you like. I had a lot of fun with this creation and I look forward to your comments, criticism, and support. A big greeting and have a beautiful day full of success and joy. See you in the next publication.

I’m Ernesto, a Cuban passionate about art and writing. Always learning, always growing. Excited to share and learn more every day! I write about art, drawing, video games, nature, and review the things I like. My goal is to inspire and connect with others through my creative journey.
