Inktober 2017 – Day 19: Cloud

I’m exhaustesd. Work this week has wiped me out. The prompt today was cloud. I started by drawing a cloud, but it ended up looking more like a rock, so we’re gonna roll with it.  My new copic marker arrived, but now the hydrangea blue pen is running out. It’s a tough life as aContinueContinue reading “Inktober 2017 – Day 19: Cloud”

Inktober 2017 – Day 14: Fierce 

Considering how long I spent on this, it’s not the best entry.  I was trying to do a “fierce” puppy, but it’s much too dark. I wanted to still use colour today, but since I don’t have my lightest shade of purple (it ran out) I only had the midtone and the veeery dark. IContinueContinue reading “Inktober 2017 – Day 14: Fierce “

I guess IContinueContinue reading “Inktober 2017 – Day 12: Shattered”

Inktober 2017: Day 6 – Sword

Today was the first day I actually tried blending the copic markers. For a first go I’m fairly pleased, although it sure makes you notice the difference between blending paper and regular sketchbook paper. Given that I’m doing a nature theme I, of course, chose a swordfish. I did it on the train to workContinueContinue reading “Inktober 2017: Day 6 – Sword”

Inktober 2017 – Day 2: Divided

Here’s day 2! I’m not as pleased with this compared to day 1, but that’s what this challenge is all about improving and just moving forward regardless of anything. This morning I was walking my puppy, and I saw a tree trunk with very clear contrast between where the light was hitting it and theContinueContinue reading “Inktober 2017 – Day 2: Divided”
