More Ink…
I had so much fun with the Inktober prompts and my turtle and spider that I decided to keep on going and use the Inktober 52 prompt list to keep on going. It’s a nice way to do warm up sketches while I am working on other projects.
Here is the first prompt – Build. I am not sure what mood I am currently in, building sand castles or snow ones? Or who knows, maybe ash castles, depending on whether the volcano decides to erupt or not 🙂
Inktober 2023 Roundup
Despite having been late to the party, I really enjoyed the Inktober challenge as every year and I am really happy with the outcome. Just like in the previous years, I was not sure where the journey would take me. And as every year I am happy about what I learned and the results.
I got so much positive feedback about the little turtle and spider, that I am considering of putting an actual children´s book together with these two characters. So watch this space.
Here are all of the 32 drawings ( yes, I did one extra because I had so much fun)
Did you do inktober? What is your take away from the challenge?
Inktober 2023 – Rush & Fire
Last but not least. So I rushed through all the prompts in 4 days. And as every year I do like the process. From not knowing where this would go initially, it turned into an exercise of quick minimalist sketches.

Sometimes you need to face your inner beast…

I heard that nudity sells? What do you think?

More fun with turtle. I had the fire spiting image in my head for quite some time so it was fun to finally put it on paper.

Had a bit of fun, trying out more of my new colourful inks.
Inktober 2023 – Fortune
Let’s see if I will make a fortune with this magic bean!?

Catching up with Inktober 2023
It´s been a while, but I am still here! I have been doing Inktober diligently every year since 2017 and I was excited about this one. However life happened and I didn´t find time until now to get started.
Seems my Inktober 2023 will be quick doodles and turtle themed and a way to test out my brand new coloured inks!
