#7 tripping the light fantastic

This was my first big bump in the way of finishing Inktober. As I predicted I had a very busy Friday at work.  At night I did nothing with the prompt #7 and, instead focused on trying to make progress on #1 Gargoyle, which, I did. A little. But, as I had not predicted the "small amount" of work that I thought I could easily finish at home in the weekend, actually took me pretty much all saturday to complete.  It was almost midnight when I started collecting references for the drawing, so it was late and I decided to begin the sketch in the next day even if it meant to be late

Long story short I posted the image bellow. Just a bit later than I though. One week later, preciselly...

By then I was no more in a work break and the week was very eventfull. So I pretty much did almost nothing after the first sketches on the sunday, october eight.

But the concept for this one was clear from the begining: a girl dancing at a rave to a psychedelic background. The thing was how to do it in black and white. So, first I got some references for the model dancing with bodypainting.

Then I needed a psychedelic black and white background, and, for this, I found the internet quite disappointing. Some where too symmetric, some too busy, some had elements but not the overall vibe. So, I would have to compose, somehow. Since time was inexistent I actually gave up for a couple of days.
