Inktober Day 30 – Ominous/Monster Mash Part 1

I follow Sketchbook Skool and they do weekly YouTube gatherings where you sketch along with Danny Gregory. I am not always able to attend but yesterday was Monsters for Halloween. I had to do that one! I wasn’t able to finish these yesterday because I was working on a project but I finished them todayContinue reading “Inktober Day 30 – Ominous/Monster Mash Part 1”

Inktober Day 21 – Sleep

I feel like this is another repeat….

Inktober 2020 Begins

Three weeks ago, I was starting to think about Inktober and what I was going to do this year. I was mulling ideas for my Little Witch and Kitty series and then Cleo became ill and eventually had to be euthanized. Now her ashes are in a cherry wood box. As we said good-bye toContinue reading “Inktober 2020 Begins”

Manifestos

Each month, Sketchbook Skool does a quick You Tube Live so people can get together and do a “goals” page in their sketchbooks or journals.

Kitty Korner

Several months ago I sketched a corner in my village while waiting for my husband and daughter. I didn’t like the sketch so I ditched it and had to do another.

Kitty finds some fancy prey

Trying something different. I still have many these premade backgrounds left. They were intended for October but I think they work better for November.

Quinacridone Gold Kitty

This kitty is from one of my starter kitty piles. I make a bunch similar to doing a mono print and then embellish them later. Doing a bunch this way gives me some inspiration and pre-started kitties that I can do while in a coffee shop or on the beach, where this one was completed.Continue reading “Quinacridone Gold Kitty”
