Inktober 2015 – Day 31
The end is here! The marathon is over! Now what do I do with all my time!? After talking through an idea with a colleague at work this past week, I decided to pay tribute to one of the greats of our time… Hashtag the Dancing Panda from the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon! He’s […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 30
I really wanted to draw a sea monster. Its strange that scales and tentacles not have yet to make it into one of my drawings this year. So much for tradition!? But I did keep it cheesy! I thought it would be fun to take the concept of whale watching and substitute sea monsters in […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 29
It has been a very busy season for me, so a lot of my initial ideas for Inktober came from a single trip to Vala’s Pumpkin Patch with my family. I sometimes get in the mode and every little thing that inspires an idea gets recorded on my phone, usually with my camera. I really […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 28
Star Wars is coming! I don’t think I really know what that means yet, but I do know it has been a-buzz on the inter webs and has a new droid thingy so I thought I’d draw it. I don’t know why Yoda is here or if he is even in the movie, but I […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 27
Ask I type this, my village is being raided by Vanek! Anyway, moving forward with this Clash of Clans mini-series, I decided again to get cute again take a familiar scene and mash it a bit. This is a Giant magically producing a Wizard who has magically produced a rabbit… Tad-a! I’m not too thrilled […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 26
True confession… I play Clash of Clans. I am in a clan with some friends at work and we sometimes take it more seriously than we should. One thing I love about the game, though, is how creative the characters are. I love the personalities in the commercials and the quirky style. I didn’t want […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 25
We went and saw the new movie The Martian with Matt Damon and ironically found this screenshot from later in the movie when looking for ideas to draw. I just wanted to draw the cool space suit and martian rover, but after drawing this I saw it as a cool metaphor. This scene is around […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 24
When we were visiting one of the attractions at Vala’s Pumpkin Patch this year, I saw a animatronic skeleton lifting weights and thought that would make a great ironic Inktober drawing. This drawing took a bit of research to get the right equipment and relearn some bone structures, but the actual inking was really quick. […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 22
Sometimes you just have to draw a cool creature like a goblin. No real story here or quippy twist that could go on a T-shirt, just a fun drawing. Sometimes, these are my most enjoyable pieces, were the concept is loose and I can just add my style and try different shapes and lines to […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 23
I love drawing giants and creatures that are a bit ridiculous in scale to a scene. One big iconic creature which I thought could provide a fun opportunity to exaggerate and stylize would be King Kong. I had a lot of fun working on the hair. It became a bit of a nightmare as an […]
