Hello friends from Hive and Holozin community! I hope you are having a nice day. As has been customary this month, I am sharing the drawing from the Zingtober initiative. Following the Inktober calendar, today's theme, the penultimate and corresponding to the 30th, is violin. I share with you the result and part of the process. Join me!

¡Hola amigos de Hive y comunidad de Holozin! Espero que estén teniendo un lindo día. Como ha sido costumbre durante este mes, les comparto el dibujo de la iniciativa Zingtober. Siguiendo el calendario de Inktober, el tema de hoy, penúltimo y correspondiente al día 30, es violín. Les comparto el resultado y parte del proceso. ¡Acompáñenme!

The idea and concept behind the drawing was to bring our beloved protagonist Zingu, this time playing a catchy melody on his violin. I started the drawing with a quick sketch. I won't deny that the shape of the violin and how to place it on his small wings complicated the process a bit, having to repeat it several times.

La idea y concepto detrás del dibujo fue traer a nuestro querido protagonista Zingu, esta vez tocando en su violín una pegajosa melodía. Comencé el dibujo con un boceto rápido. No voy a negar que la forma del violín y cómo colocarlo en sus pequeñas alitas me complicó un poco el proceso, teniendo que repetirlo varias veces.

After having the whole sketch ready, I started with the lineart. I'm still using this new brush I created myself, and I’m really liking the results, because although it has its texture, it can create very precise and solid lines.

Después de tener todo el boceto listo, comencé con el lineart. Sigo utilizando este nuevo pincel que creé yo mismo, y me están gustando mucho los resultados, porque aunque tiene su textura, puede crear líneas muy precisas y sólidas.

With the lineart ready, my favorite part: coloring the illustration and adding some lights, shadows and details to bring our character to life. Finally, I created a background with small watercolor stains so the image didn't feel so empty.

Listo el lineart, mi parte favorita: colorear la ilustración y agregar algunas luces, sombras y detalles para traer a nuestro personaje a la vida. Por último, creé con pequeñas manchas de acuarela un fondo para que la imagen no se sintiera tan vacía.

That’s all for today, friends. I hope you enjoyed the process as much as I did creating this illustration. As always, I look forward to your comments and advice. We will read each other in the next post with the last drawing of the month. A big greeting and, as always, my best wishes for luck and success. Until next time! Byeee!

Esto ha sido todo por hoy amigos. Espero hayan disfrutado del proceso tanto como yo creando esta ilustración. Como siempre, espero sus comentarios y consejos. Nos leemos en el próximo post con el último dibujo del mes. Un gran saludo y, como siempre, mis mayores deseos de suerte y éxitos. ¡Hasta la próxima! ¡Chauuu!
