Before I start the post with my Inktober sketch of the day, I just want to thank all of you for following me. I really appreciate the “likes” and comments (If I missed your comment, please let me know!). I don’t want to overwhelm you with a ton of blog posts or emails, so IContinue reading “Inktober Day 27 and THANK YOU!”

Inktober Day 26
Today’s prompt is “ego.” I was totally uninspired by this prompt. There are some prompts, like this one, where I want to go off the reservation and just draw something else. The nice thing about a subject I don’t like, it forces me to be more creative and just do it. The more I tackleContinue reading “Inktober Day 26”
Inktober Day 25
Six more days left in October. It’s always amazing how fast October whips by. Then Christmas goes into high gear, pretty much skipping over Thanksgiving. I think that Thanksgiving has been turned into the Memorial Day of the Holiday Season. It’s a shame because it really is nice to enjoy November for the beautiful monthContinue reading “Inktober Day 25”
Inktober Day 24
Today’s prompt is fun! It is also one of my favorite things; “fairy.” I drew a bunch of sketches in my sketchbook of various different approaches and didn’t care for my initial sketches. It is October and I wanted to do something along the lines of an Autumn Faerie. I wanted to create a faerieContinue reading “Inktober Day 24”
Inktober Day 23
Day 23 and today’s prompt is “booger.” Ok I almost thought this was gross until I decided to look up the definition of the word. Low and behold, “booger” is actually another word for the “boogeyman.” And a slang word for mucus. Yuck. The new “Ghostbusters” has been on TV the past couple of weeksContinue reading “Inktober Day 23”
Inktober Day 22
Ooooo, today is a fun word. Heist. One movie came to mind, “Tower Heist” with Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy. I cracked up through that movie and was especially delighted when the Tower staff was distracted from their duties by the Thanksgiving parade. Adults that are young at heart, I loved it. The woman hittingContinue reading “Inktober Day 22”
Inktober Day 20
Eleven more days to go! Whoo hoo! Today’s prompt is “bluff.” I thought about sketching people playing cards or a game. I also considered poker or Texas Hold’em, you know, games where you have to bluff. I bluff all the time when we play “Cover Your Assets.” This is a great game that I highlyContinue reading “Inktober Day 20”
Inktober Day 19
Wow, 13 days to Halloween and 13 days left in the Inktober Challenge. Today’s prompt is ponytail and I decided to have a little fun today with…..a pony! Yeah, I could have done a girl with a ponytail but I thought it would be more fun to draw a pony. A happy little thing withContinue reading “Inktober Day 19”
Inktober Day 18
It’s Day 18 of the Inktober Challenge. Today’s prompt is “scrape.” Another word with a multitude of ways that it could be represented. To be honest, I was thinking about just scrapping today’s word after streaming Episode 9 of the House and Dragons last night and just shouting “DRACARYS!!! DRACARYS!!!” on paper as my reactionContinue reading “Inktober Day 18”
Inktober Day 17
It’s Inktober Day 17 and today’s prompt is salty. One word with so many ways to represent it. I opted for the good old fashioned Philly pretzel. There’s nothing like a hot Philly pretzel straight out of the oven, slathered with brown mustard, spicy or not, I don’t care. Philly pretzels are amazing. Delis andContinue reading “Inktober Day 17”
