Great work @Rich_A.

I recently got a set of those markers in the values but only managed a few sketches so far.

Holy Cow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    You went elaborate with it too!!!!!!!!!    The ones I've been seeing on FB were quick sketches....   very nice!!!   Congratulations on getting through it!  Are you exhausted and glad it is over?  The Strada Challenge took a lot out of me....

Nice work!  Looks like you just kept pouring it on as you went.  They all look great.  Dizzy, Catch and Dark are my favorites.

Thanks Julianna. I participated last year so it got me conditioned for this year. I actually enjoyed it more this year.

@Rich_A well, I am going to do the Strada Challenge again in January - I hope it is easier - that month took a lot out of me.  It's encouraging that your second go was more enjoyable.

Wow!  I am so impressed.  They are all amazing.

You're an excellent illustrator with plenty of imagination. Good stuff. 

GTO

I agree with @Leo2015. Your an excellent illustrator.  And ink can be difficult.  It’s not like you can wipe it off and repaint.  Once it’s down it’s there for good.
I don’t recall who said this but painting is a process of correcting your mistakes.  I know that’s how it is for me anyway.  Cover the canvas go back and fix it up.
Good work. I look forward to your future posts.

Nice, What kind of copic did you use? I am using Copic Marker SB12 but I can't draw as well as you. I still have trouble when using it. Do you have any tips? 

Rich_A

@zeldaella Thanks, For the 9. Swing piece I used the Hobby Lobby Master's Touch Copics which were complete crap. The only reason I bought them was because the real copics were locked up behind glass. But #18 on I used the Copic Sketch markers which are the real deal.

@A_Time_To_Paint Thanks. This was my second one and I was more prepared. The next one I plan on filming it.

Rich these are way beyond the realm of mere ink drawings or illustration. This is fine art and your imagination is as fluent as your faith.

These are all amazing drawings. Really well I mean.

I'm also a sketchbooker but use all sorts of mediums such as pencils, inkpen, watercolor, chalks. 

Rich_A

@BOB73 Thanks. Your words are inspiring.
@Catlady Thank you so much.
@kaustavM Thank you. I'm gearing up for the next one which will be a couple of months. This will be my third year and I plan on participating and this time I'll be recording my process on my Youtube channel.
