Inktober Day 30 – Vacant

Slowed down and went blank just before the finishing line. I eventually ended up having fun with this one and added coloured ink to it.
Gone south, that will be the theme soon.

Inktober Day 29 – Lesson

I am on a reading mission to read at least one book a month. So far so good. Just finished Jean-Paul Sartre’s Nausea last night.
What are you reading right now?

Inktober Day 28 – Skeletal

A week late to the party. Anyway, darkness is upon us. The days are getting shorter by a few minutes each week.

Inktober Day 27 – Onion

Do you like onions? Onion pie in the autumn is the best!
10 min pencil sketch and 10 min for inking…

Inktober Day 25 – Inferno

Disco inferno anyone? I know I am late for the party, but hey, the journey is the goal, right??

Inktober Day 22 – Button

Yes, so I have been drawing double. And forgot to post the last couple of days. The month is almost over! How did this happen?

What’s next?

I have been in a drawing mood lately and thought it is about time to add some new prints to my Etsy shop.

But what should I add?

Let me know in the poll below.

Here is a best off (at least my favourites) of Inktober so far. There are a few more to come.

Inktober Day 17 – Ornate

Good morning beautiful people! Who’s a pretty boy?

Maybe I should draw more llamas. Here is the first one in case you missed it.

Want a llama staring at you? Check out this downloadable print.

And the sketch.

Inktober Day 16 – Blunder

I was rather stuck with this one and had no idea what to draw….
How is your Inktober going?

After a couple of days feeling low I had a drawing spree last night where I caught up with all the prompts and I am now quite happy again with the latest outcomes. This one not quite sure…

Meanwhile I am also pondering what new drawings to make for my Etsy shop. Any suggestions?

Inktober Day 13 – Drink

I realised I have been may more drawings than I thought, as for some days I have been drawing 2 instead of one picture.
Not sure what this little lady has in her glass…. I have my coffee. Black.

Inktober Day 12 – Shredded

Was busy living the last week and forgot to post. Now playing catch up at the weekend.
I guess all my plans of drawing daily got shredded…

Come fly with me

Took my toddler flying with me today and she loved it. What about you?

Just added this brand-new print to my Etsy shop! You can check out the full lineup of aerial fox posters right here. And don’t worry — I haven’t abandoned Inktober! I just might have forgotten to take photos of my latest drawings… update coming soon!

Inktober Day 11 – Sting – Updated

Work in progress

And the finished illustration.

Updated version below. Felt like it was missing something.

Inktober Day 9 – Heavy

I had a lot of fun with these guys. Will be drawing some more of them. I might even add some to my Etsy. What do you think? Would you like to have a hippo on your wall.

Rainy day and spent the day afternoon drawing. At least I am all caught up now with the prompts.
