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 […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 11
I made an Inktober rookie mistake (probably because I’m still a rookie) and thought it would be fun to do a full drawing with a .25 mm pen tip. I knew 5 minutes in that I was in trouble, but I rolled up my sleeves and persevered through the tedium. I really like the idea […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 10
Hard to believe we are already in double digits! Now… I had an idea for an observatory or crazy telescope, then I saw that Jake Parker beat me to it. So, I can scrap the idea in favor of originality or I can make a crazy goofy variation instead. In the spirit of Inktober, goofy it […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 9
Hair monster. Nuff said. Sometimes you just need to crank out a drawing when playing catch-up. I really liked how this came together, especially how quickly it went from concept to final inked drawing. Only 9 days in and I’m already behind – time to get back to work! Ink used: Kuretake No. 13 Brush Pen & Tombow […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 8
I got up at 5 AM the other day to take my daughter out to see the lunar eclipse, also known as a “Blood Moon”. It was pretty cool to see the shadow the sun cast on the Earth as we moved from location to location to get the best starlit view. My co-worker the […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 7
When we were visiting the Rainforest Cafe I thought it would be fun to do some inky rendition of a tree frog. One of the unfortunate side effects of Inktober for me, however, is that I get a little punny with my drawings. Maybe at some point this year I’ll try to do something a […]
