Inktober 2014 – Day 21
Another influence of our art museum visit last week is the city on a cliff painting I saw. I thought it would be fun to perch a massive city precariously on the edge of a cliff all Wile E. Coyote like. It started to take a little steam punk direction until I noticed, “I don’t […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 20
I saw a beautiful painting of a tug boat on the ocean with a great reflection in the rippling water. I wanted to ink something similar, but got lazy and decided to draw a buoy instead. I’m not sure where the mermaids came from and I’m not too keen on the “reflection” but it was […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 19
No inspiration really for this drawing. Sometimes you just have to start drawing and see what happens. I like how this turned out, though. It was great practice with my brush pen and I was able to resist the urge to shade it in with ink wash or some other soft shader. Sometimes I can […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 18
When my wife and I were in KC this weekend we went to a museum and I gathered a ton of ideas for this year’s Inktober. This was my rendition of a night in conflict with a dragon inspired by a sculpture of a man slaying a dragon. Really no connection other than this having […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 17
Every year I try to hit two birds with one stone and do a preliminary sketch of my pumpkin I’m going to carve. This year I am joining a friendly competition with my co-workers and thought it would be best to do a classic, easy to recognize design. I look forward to carving this mummy […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 16
On my list of ideas for this year I wrote “Mustache”. I thought it would be fun to draw a character or monster with a big ole hairy mustache. Once I started drawing though, the mustache took over and became the monster itself. Take or leave a metaphor here. I really liked inking with this […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 15
I was just spitballing on this one. No real plan, just a dog with a Frankenstein hat on his head. This was a fast drawing but felt really good. My lines came out like I wanted them to and I didn’t over render the drawing. Half way through Inktober and I’m starting to hit my […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 14
My second obsession this year has been a new bike. I love to bike, but haven’t been able to much at all this year. I thought it would be fun to see a couple of monsters hitting the trail. Ink used: Pilot Futayaku Double-Sided Brush Pen – Black / Gray Ink
Inktober 2014 – Day 13
My kids and I did a themed drawing today. We were to draw a carrot robot or spaceship. More specifically, I was tasked with a “Bunny driving a carrot car powered by carrots”. So, here is my interpretation. I’ll have to post some of the kids’ inktober drawings as well. They are rockstars this year! […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 12
Introducing my new obsession, the Honda Ruckus. I’ve always loved these scooters, but I never knew what they were. I’ve never owned or ridden on a motorcycle or scooter before, but I also had never driven a stick before I purchased my xB. It can’t be that hard right?! To be continued? Ink used: Pentel Slicci […]
