Inktober 2015 – Day 15
Wrapping up my mini-series of creepy kids’ movies is another classic, Neverending Story. I was able to find a scene that matched the last two in the series with the protagonist kid interacting with a monster friend which I thought brought some cool consistency between the films. In this case Atreyu is scratching behind the […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 14
I decided to keep going with the creepy kids’ movie theme and turn it into another mini series of drawings. Another fun Jim Henson movie was Labyrinth which I watched dozens of times when I was younger. I loved the characters and set out to draw Sir Didymus astride his faithful steed, but felt the […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 13
I thought it would be fun to tackle some characters from the Jim Henson movie, The Dark Crystal. I thought this was a great movie, albeit creepy and dark and something I might not yet show my kids. Nevertheless, the characters were amazing so I decided to draw some. This is Jen and urZah in […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 12
I found a stock photo the other day of rocker girl holding a shark bazooka and had to save it to use for Inktober! Again, trying to infuse some action into my drawings, I decided to pose her as the shark-zooka is firing and blasting her off her feet. I like the contrast of adding […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 11
I have a silver lab who I periodically find in quirky poses that warrant an artistic rendition. This was a fun instance where she was watching television in my basement. I used a larger brush pen with a pretty broad range of stroke widths. It is a bit more challenging, but lays down a very […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 10
My daughter picked up her orca pool float the other day and held it above her head in a triumphant pose. I thought it would make a great drawing and made her hold it while I got my phone to snap a pic. This turned out better than I thought! Also, this pen is one […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 9
I thought I’d round out my Mario mini series with a villain, Bowser Jr. I found this pose online and really wanted to do my inky treatment on it. I tried to streamline my process and got this little guy down well under an hour! It was great drawing this while hanging out at a […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 8
I decided to keep it simple and keep it to one pen per drawing for a while. This drawing continues the Mario mini series with Luigi caught in impending doom! I thought it would be nice to get back to some cheesy, t-shirt style drawings instead of traditional fan art. This pen was easy to […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 7
My kids have been playing a lot of Mario Maker these days so I think it might be time for a Mario mini series. Today, I thought I’d draw Mario reeling from a bad mushroom. I had some success with my double-sided brush pen, but got a little over-zealous with the swirling psychedelic shroom haze. […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 6
It was fun and challenging to tackle some big Pokemon the last two drawings, but I thought I’d take a different approach with this version of Tyrunt. This is a Pokemon, but really more an excuse to draw a dinosaur. I decided to put more of my spin on this rendition and also tell a […]
