Inktober 2017 – Day 12: Shattered

I found time to get this done just before work. I’ve interpreted ‘shattered’ as ‘really really tired’. Can it also be used this way elsewhere? I’m very sad to say my iridescent mauve copic marker is running out. Is that normal? I started using it for Inktober so it’s been 12 days. I guess IContinueContinue reading “Inktober 2017 – Day 12: Shattered”

Inktober 2017 – Day 10: Gigantic

I really wasn’t sure whether to upload this one or not. I like it, but I feel like I could do better. I might try another sketch later just for fun and see which I prefer. The trees are ‘gigantic’ compared to the house. I wanted to suggest that there was light and warmth fromContinueContinue reading “Inktober 2017 – Day 10: Gigantic”

Inktober 2017: Day 6 – Sword

Inktober 2017: Day 5: Long

I interpreted “long” as “tall” and used a reference photo to fit my nature theme. I wanted to limit myself to just the time I had on the train, so didn’t add too much detail. I definitely prefer these entries when I have longer to spend on them! Originally I tried using the copic markersContinueContinue reading “Inktober 2017: Day 5: Long”

Inktober 2017 – Day 3: Poison

Sorry this one is late, I got in late from work. I would have liked to have spent longer on it but didn’t want to dedicate longer than my train ride home to finish it. I interpreted “poison” quite loosely. I want to do a nature themed Inktober, so I thought about poison in termsContinueContinue reading “Inktober 2017 – Day 3: Poison”
