Inktober Day 6

Good day folks! To catch you up from yesterday, my desktop appears to be running ok today except for the issue that the wallpaper isn’t working and I am looking at a blank screen. It won’t even load any of my photos, which is strange. I’ll have to about that one…sigh. Today’s Inktober prompt isContinue reading “Inktober Day 6”

Inktober Day 5

What a frustrating evening trying to do this post. My Mac is hosed up and I can’t use it because I lost power in the middle of doing some research which caused my Adobe software to not be able to shutdown properly. Now it’s all hosed because Adobe is a memory vampire. Good thing IContinue reading “Inktober Day 5”

Inktober 2023 Day 4 – Introducing Lucy

Inktober Day 4.  The Prompt is Dodge. Today’s Inktober prompt created a little bit of stumper at first because I wasn’t sure how I would portray that.  Then I thought of all the times that our Chihuahua puppy, Lucy, dodged Mack to keep him from getting her bones and the inspiration hit me. I didContinue reading “Inktober 2023 Day 4 – Introducing Lucy”

Inktober Day 3

Inktober Day 3.  The prompt is Path.  I have a photo I took many years ago in an area what locals in New Jersey, call “down Jersey.”  Down Jersey is along the Delaware Bay and is not really an area that people go to for getting away.   Most folks go down the shore, whetherContinue reading “Inktober Day 3”

Inktober Day 2

Inktober Day 2.  Prompt is Spider.  I had a few different ideas about what to sketch for a spider.  I settled on two spiders who are close friends.  They made their webs next to each other and they are fishing for insects using fishing poles with light bulbs hanging from the poles.  Their goal isContinue reading “Inktober Day 2”

Happy Halloween and the last day of Inktober!

Today is Halloween and it is also the last day of Inktober. I can’t say that I am not glad to Inktober go. It was fun to do the prompts but tough to squeeze it in. I am happy it is Halloween and I am sad to know that it is the end of October.Continue reading “Happy Halloween and the last day of Inktober!”

Inktober Day 28

Inktober Day 28 and today’s prompt is “camping.” I got the idea for this sketch from the season.  What do we do when we are camping? Usually a campfire is one of the evening activities that people do while camping. A campfire brings light to the dark.  It can be used to cook food, marshmallows,Continue reading “Inktober Day 28”

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 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”
