Inktober 2015 – Day 4
This post starts my mini series dedicated to some fun Pokemon that came out this year. Our family has become Pokemon obsessed and it is fun to put my inked spin on some cool character designs. This character is Hoopa and I wanted to use some subtle “shading” to indicate particles and provide some softness […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 3
A busy day has left me a little uninspired, but Inktober is still young and I have to at least get some ink on paper. This was drawn from a screen grab from a random scene that I was saving from a while back. I liked the collection of creepy druid dudes and thought it at […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 2
Walking around Vala’s Pumpkin Patch this year, I saw this guy hanging around outside one of the sweet shops. I thought it would be a shame to not have a skeleton pirate in the collection. The statue was standing straight, but I’m trying to get more action and interest into my drawings this year, and […]
Inktober 2015 – Day 1
Inktober 2015 has begun! I’m out of training, but I’m up for the challenge once again. Who better to kick off this season than Big Foot, who is a reoccurring character of mine – although his appearance changes quite substantially as I evolve him. He usually doesn’t appear until later in the year, but he […]
Inktober 2014 Review
This was another amazing Inktober! Thank you for those who followed along with me throughout the month. It was great to read your comments and encouragement. This year I was able to push the medium a bit, and create some pieces that I’m pretty fond of. Although it can be taxing at times, I love […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 31
Thus ends my third run of Inktober. It has once again been a great experience, challenging my abilities and helping me grow as an artist. I hope it has been fun for those of you who participated and those who provided encouragement. I thought I’d finish as I started, spelling stuff out with a tangled […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 30
I can’t believe it, I’ve actually caught up on my Inktober drawings!! And with one day to go, I didn’t think I was going to make it. Unfortunately, that means I just blasted the interwebs with way too many drawings in a very short amount of time, but hey sometimes you gotta sprint that second […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 29
As I plan what I draw for Inktober, I pull from experiences I’ve had and from visuals I see online. Sometimes I just like to draw a very simple subject and see where it goes. Today it was “Giant” and I had visions of Jake Parker’s Antler Boy or some Godzilla style monster destroying a city […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 28
I liked this old retro vending machine at the Boulevard store in KC and thought I’d give it a ghoulish twist for Inktober. My kids and I had a great time trying to figure out how to yuck up our favorite candy bars, chips and pop. These names are in no way endorsed by the Boulevard […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 27
This is an exciting day. I just completed my second Moleskine sketchbook since joining the Inktober fray! I was hoping I could get all of 2014 in this book, but it looks like 28 – 31 will have to break in the next book (which will sadly last me quite a long time). I […]
