Inktober 2013 – Day 8
Starting a series of 2 dream rides for my kids. My daughter of course rides in the sky on a pegasus/unicorn. A Pegacorn? Unisus? Had some fun with the clouds as the brush pen I was using was water-based and the marker I was shading with (is that cheating) was lifting the pigment causing some […]
Inktober 2013 – Day 7
This one was a lot of fun, but a bit of a hot mess. I had to pull too many pens out of the case to try to salvage this drawing – which I’m not sure I did. I still like the idea, but think it deserves another attempt at another time with more thought […]
Inktober 2013 – Day 6
I had fun with this one and trying to get something to make sense out of thick black fur. Thought it would be funny to see a monster pretending to be a human for Halloween. Getting caught up with Inktober, remembering what the marathon feels like – learning a lot along the way. Ink used: Zebra […]
Inktober 2013 – Day 5
Day 5 and I’m already behind. Going to try to catch up today with a record 3 drawings. Got up early to draw an orchard of jack-o-lantern trees. Trying to do these drawings minimally with just one or two pens to keep things flowing and quick. Was reminiscing about the masterful drawings of Bill Watterson […]
Inktober 2013 – Day 4
Just built a bird house with my son, thought it would be fun to see what it would look like with a bird living in it. Pulled out the brush pen for this one. Had to remember how to draw with it, but love the loose lines and fluid feel. Ink used: Kuretake No. 13 Brush […]
Inktober 2013 – Day 3
At this year’s trip to Vala’s Pumpkin Patch these two goats got themselves stuck in the feeding hole and couldn’t get out. It took some pushing but I was able to free them – without a thank you, I might add. I thought this would be a fun Inktober sketch. I intended to draw a […]
Inktober 2013 – Day 2
Inktober day 2. Thought I’d draw a heap of animals. Every picture should tell a compelling story. Not sure what this one tells, but it’s probably a doozy! Ink used: Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pen My kids are getting into the Inktober spirit as well. Check out these gems: Day 1 & 2 by Logan Day 1 […]
Inktober 2013 – Day 1
It’s that time of year again… Inktober! Set your feeds to #inktober and let the ink fly. I’ve got my copy of The Antler Boy and Other Stories close by for inspiration and have brought my pens out of hiding to see if I can draw 31 drawings in 31 days. This year, I’ve even got […]
Someday with Seuss
I had the privileged recently to illustrate a poem my friend Joe Hearn wrote for his website IntentionalRetirement.com. Here is what Joe had to say on Market Watch: I have always looked up to Theodor Geisel, better known to millions as Dr. Seuss. As a writer myself, one of his qualities I admired most was […]
Inktober 2012 Review
It was a blast being able to participate in Inktober this year. I was able to flex my style quite a bit with new techniques such as ink wash and inking with a brush. It is definitely a unique discipline to draw every day and I hope I’ll be able to keep it up in […]
