Inktober 2012 – Day 30
I found this little fella hiding in the back of a folder I carry with me everywhere to use in a design some day. I thought it would make an interesting design and was a lot of fun to draw. It is a different style to have to assembly line all the repeating elements but […]
Inktober 2012 – Day 29
This was a strange illustration. Not only does it have three chubby ninjas doing their thang – it also took out my Faber-Castell pigment liners. I don’t know if it was the gum eraser or what, but something is amiss. Well, in honor of Bob Ross’ birthday yesterday – “We don’t have mistakes here, we […]
Inktober 2012 – Day 28
Who doesn’t love a good sea creature attacking a viking ship illustration? I know I do. I think everyone’s Inktober should feature suction cups at some point. This was a fun illustration with the dense rain and varied textures. Always exciting when I have no clue where a picture is going to go. Faber-Castell 8 […]
Inktober 2012 – Day 27
The farm animal battle series continues with the sheep squadron. I started these with a brush pen and filled back in the details with smaller pigment liner pens. I might stop the series here for this Inktober. There are so many other ideas I want to tackle before the 31st, but maybe this will surface […]
Inktober 2012 – Day 26
My family is full of ideas for Inktober, I love that they are joining the fun. The other night my son suggested a fight between a pig and a sheep and I thought that would could be a cool idea. I took things up a notch and put the idea into a war time scenario. […]
Inktober 2012 – Day 25
It’s day 28 and I feel like I’m going to be able to catch up today. I wanted to create a set of cool chess pieces, but this might have to be a longer term project when I’m out of Inktober. It was still a lot of fun to go pretty basic with a single […]
Inktober 2012 – Day 24
I was testing out a Sharpie brush marker a while back and created the first version of this guy for my son. He has been asking for a revival so I thought it was about time. Since Inktober for me is all about experimentation, I think my next drawings will experiment with a style that […]
Inktober 2012 – Day 23
Alright Mattias Inks, today is the day to gain an appreciation for what you do with your clean lines and intricate details. This meager attempt is nowhere near the degree of crazy but my hurting hand gives testament to how details take work. Still a lot of fun. I think I might have to try […]
Inktober 2012 – Day 22
Since I am a little behind on this Inktober I thought I’d rough out another ink and brush drawing (painting?) as the last one proved to be quite efficient. Still a very fun technique. I might have to do some more of these in the future. I might even figure out how to do it […]
Inktober 2012 – Day 21
Since I am experimenting with Ink Wash for some of these drawings, I thought it would be fun to try a drawing entirely with ink and brush. This little guy was a lot of fun. It’s amazing what surface area you can cover with a medium round brush while still being able to produce somewhat […]
