Inktober 2014 – Day 6
I saw the new movie Box Trolls by the studio Laika this weekend and was once again blown away by the amazing work they do. I would love to work there some day, but for now, here is a box troll that didn’t make the film. Maybe the sequel? Ink used: Pilot Pocket Brush Pen & Copic […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 5
When we were at the Mall of America a couple weeks ago, we rode the Ninja Turtle ride, which was a lot of fun. They had a very cool looking entrance with this statue of Raph all dramatically lit. I thought it would be a great opportunity to try a new ink wash technique […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 4
Driving to Minnesota a couple weeks ago, we drove through a bunch of these windmill farms. I thought it would be cool to draw one for Inktober, but couldn’t resist adding a little twist. Maybe someday they can be used to power our robot replacements. Maybe some day. Ink used: Zebra Double-Sided Brush Pen & Tombow Dual […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 3
We find a lot of cicada shells in our yard and I thought it would be fun to draw some sort of cicada shell creature for Inktober. I didn’t know it would get this out of hand! Ink used: Pentel Tradio Stylo Fountain Pen & Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
Intober 2014 – Day 2
I wanted to draw a monster terrorizing a city. I couldn’t resist making a bit of a joke out of it. A bit rushed cranking this one out, but I like the overall layout and had a lot of fun with it. One of the things I need to focus on this year is line […]
Inktober 2014 – Day 1
Happy Inktober 2014 everyone! Here is drawing #1 of my third year doing this crazy challenge. This year I have new pens, a new puppy, less time and no excuses. I thought I’d start with a picture of what I’m going to look like after not shaving for the month. Excited for 30 more drawings […]
Inktober 2013 Review
This was one of my busiest years and one of the easiest excuses ever to not participate in an endeavor that takes upwards of 75 hours, has little exposure and doesn’t pay a dime. So why Inktober? I guess part of me would love to be an illustrator and Inktober unites illustrators from around the […]
Inktober 2013 – Day 31
Final day of Inktober 2013! Thought I’d do a self portrait in my “studio” under the stairs. Here is where I drew many a drawing the past month. It has been exhausting, but a blast. I’ve learned a lot, loved a lot, dreamed a lot but did not sleep a lot. I absolutely loved that […]
Inktober 2013 – Day 30
How better to celebrate day 30 than with a whole lot of ink and a whole lot of space bugs? Took some cues from Jake Parker on this one – instigator of Inktober. One more day left of Inktober! One more drawing left to draw! One more night of sleepless drawing. Entering the home stretch… […]
Inktober 2013 – Day 29
Inspired by Michel Gagne’s Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, I thought a little deep sea attack was in order. This will be the last ink wash for this Inktober. I’m putting my paintbrush and ink well away for more straight-forward inking. Two days left! Ink used: Ink used: Zebra Disposable Brush Pen – Fine, Pentel Standard Brush Pen – […]
