A young man is vaulting over a tall, barbed wire fence, as one would expect to see along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Inktober | day seven

The prompt for this day was “passport”. My thought was a person passing between countries, and I drew a casually dressed guy hoping over a gigantic barbed wire fence. I intentionally wanted him to contrast the grossness of the fence.

Drawing the fence itself was a pain: I originally used a brush to ink that part, but it was too hard to keep the lines as consistent as I needed them to be for something as uniform as a fence. The problem with this, is that it’s hard to create depth using a line of uniform thickness, and I wanted to some dimension to convey of the scale of the fence. I was surprised that I was able to do this to a degree.
