Another year, another one-drawing-a-day Inktober! This year my efforts were stymied by a lengthy power/internet outage and then my drawing app being crippled after an update. But I persisted and produced 31 works of art during the past month. Here’s seven of them, mostly selected by KLS as her favourites.
The usual motifs of light and dark returned often. This was an early attempt to show depth in poor light. Once again it took a while to get used to the app. As before this was all done on my phone, even though using the Apple Pencil on the iPad would have given me much more accuracy.
I’ve drawn a few maps on postcards this year, always more detailed than this. If you haven’t received a map and want one, leave a comment!
Everyone can draw Grimace from memory, and this one was inspired by me doing exactly that during lecture (yes, I drew grimace on Zoom)!
A tribute to Voyager. It looks simple but there’s many layers in that space background.
Art should tell a story, and the above was one of my attempts. I was going to do a followup showing the body which revealed it wasn’t human, but… I didn’t.
The above was drawn while sitting in the car at the drive in. That’s not a beverage coming out of the bottle, it’s a green slime (a monster).
Video games are another common theme, and there were several pieces this year inspired by them. This was perhaps the most obvious.
When I first did Inktober it was a silly joke, but now I’ve done almost 100 drawings over three years! I wonder if I’ll do it again in 2021?
Once again, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your drawings!
Please do Inktober again in 2021
