Inktober Day 9

Good Evening! Before I move on to today’s prompt, I just want to point out that my Inktober/Drawlloween sketches and drawings maybe aren’t as polished as some of the ones that are on Instagram. I have been doing mine daily and I have been trying to put a time limit on them because I haveContinue reading “Inktober Day 9”

Intober Day 8

Good evening….just want to point out that for some reason my Day 7 post did not launch to my website last night and I am just finding this out now, so it just posted. Well, at least my Instagram was timely. Today’s prompt is “toad.” When you live in Florida, especially south of Orlando, beingContinue reading “Intober Day 8”

Inktober Day 7

Good evening! Today’s prompt is “drip.” Because it is Saturday, and I had many things to do today, I decided to draw the first and simplest thing that popped into my head. What is the most annoying thing that you can think of? (Aside from a mosquito buzzing by your ear at 2:45AM?) A drippingContinue reading “Inktober Day 7”

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 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”

Inktober 2023 Day 1

It’s Inktober….again….and that must mean that Instagram feeds will be blowing up with ink art the entire month of October. I don’t know how many years I have participated in Inktober. I have lost count. Usually I spend a little time coming up with ideas but this year, October sneaked up on me unexpectedly. ItContinue reading “Inktober 2023 Day 1”

Night carnival

I thought this was going to be a difficult subject to illustrate until I remembered that I sketched a few amusements over the years, most during the day. I referenced those sketches and sleeted the Tornado ride for this illustration. I had a lot of fun doing this….

Witch

The fourth prompt is “witch” and it happens to be one of my favorites. Usually for Inktober, I work on my “Little Witch” series, which started back in 2018 as a desperate need to find ideas for postcards to mail to my mom. (Mom was placed in Assisted Living back in 2018 for memory care.Continue reading “Witch”
