Welcome to day 3 of my Inktober story. Missed the beginning? Here is where it starts.
The closet was empty, except for a large bat staring right at him with big eyes.
It took Grog a moment to get over his surprise.
“Have you seen my wing?” he asks.
“Do I look like I see something?” the bat sneers back.
Last year during Inktober I put the focus on character design and had fun creating little children´s illustration. This year (after a way to long break from drawing and feeling out of practice) I decided to put the focus on storytelling.
Follow me for whatever story this year´s Inktober prompt list will lead to. Every day´s prompt will be a new page of the story.
Day 1 – meet Grog, the gargoyle. Now you might have notice something different about him.
Day 2 – still a work in progress. Will finish it tonight.
One morning Grog woke up, discovering that one of his wings was missing.
Grog jumped off his usual outdoor wall spot. Maybe someone had put his wing in the attic? He scurried around, looking here and there. But his wing was nowhere to be found.
Getting more worried, he spots a big closet at the other end of the attic. Maybe his wing is in there? Slightly out of breath, he opens the door.
He jumps! That was not what he expected to find!
… to be continued on day 3.
Time for Inktober again! I thought I had a plan for it, but let´s see how it will go. At least I hope I will develop a more steady drawing routine again!
Prompt for day 1 – Gargoyle – What should we name him?
Another Inktober 21 drawing that I didn´t post previously.
Apparently I do enjoy drawing boats, but I don´t like to be in them. Also we had now in average one storm per week for he past 2 months. Good winter in Iceland. Other countries have spring, I´ve been told….
Going through my sketchbook, I discovered this little guy. He was part of my Inktober 21 drawings, but I never posted him.
So here it is. Fancy a cup of tea?
Found this guy in the beginning of my sketchbook. I got inspired by a t-shirt with above’s headline and though a shoe bill would fit the phrase perfectly. I think they are pretty cool!
I kind of liked the art vs artist set up and I thought it would be nice to reflect on some of my other drawings that I did throughout 2021.
So here is another one. People and animals in ink and watercolour from last spring.
Discovered this unfinished drawing I did a month ago in my sketchbook. I should finish it at some point but I also like it just in black and white as it is.
It also represents the mood of today. I would like to just stay home and be cozy.
After I felt like I was doing so well with my posting habits throughout October I fell into somewhat of a slump the last week. I have been focusing on drawing and several online are courses that I am taking at the moment instead.
I finished all of the Inktober prompts, however, I am not really happy how the last 3 turned out as I rushed them, so I haven’t posted them yet.
Here are all the other ones that I am quite happy with. I ended up with 33 drawings even with the last 3 missing as I did more than one drawing on some of the days.
Do you have a favourite?
Inspired by The Little Prince. Also I have been watching too much Scifi lately.
Me on the beach in Mexico? Maybe.
Inktober is finished. The last days passed by way to quickly and I am again 3 drawings short as I think every year. Halloween parties always come in the way…. Also I was working obsessively on another illustration project during the weekend. You will get a glimpse of it soon.
Anyway, I will do the 3 remaining prompts maybe later today. Meanwhile lets start the week with some cake!
Who remembers?
The hours I spent recording my favourite music videos and TV shows… Only then to never watch the recordings again.
Why use darts if you can simply splash your ink?
Remember this game? A classic.
It´s been years since I played it. The hamster is chewing on his chip out of frustration as he has been loosing repeatedly.
Having a bad hair day?
About time to visit the hairdresser. I feel pretty fuzzy too…
Just leaving this here. Have a great weekend!
