Inktober Day 17 – Swollen
I quite struggled with this Inktober prompt. I had no idea what to draw. And then this was the outcome….? A hamster with swollen cheeks.
Inktober Day 16 – Angular
Prompt #16 for Inktober… an angular landscape, with a lynx, a hare and the man with the hat.
Inktober Day 15 – Weak
A bit behind with drawing, as this was my state the last couple of days while I was studying for an exam beside work. Self portrait so to speak, with my favourite black heals.
Inktober Day 14 – Clock
It´s ice cream o´clock… again.
My craving for sweets proportionately increases with the decrease in daylight hours.
The living room table is showing traces of inktober as well.
Inktober Day 13 – Guarded
Who is guarding what?
I guess you can figure out my two favourite things by now – food & dogs.
Inktober Day 12 – Whale
When you go fishing and it did not turn out as expected.
Inktober Day 11 – Cruel
Ok, the theme is definitely food orientated.
Cruel is when you had a long day at work and nothing to eat except for chocolate and biscuits and then you come home to this.
Or you wake up after a night of partying and all that is left in the fridge is this.
Inktober Day 10 – Flowing
Wow, so I got featured on WordPress Discover! Totally unexpected and what an amazing boost! ❤ Thank you!
Prompt for day 10 was “flowing”. I saw lots of drawings of beautiful flowing hair… Never would have thought of that. First thing that came to my mind were rivers of milk and honey, followed by this. I think I was hungry.
Inktober Day 9 – Precious
If the chicken needs a break, you can hop on your precious dragon to take you places.
I wish he could take me to work right now, so I´d avoid the traffic.
What does the flying bottle do there you might wonder? I thought about a snitch first, which turned into a bottle of beer, which is the carrot for the dragon to keep him going the right direction.
Inktober Day 8 – Star
Who´s the star? She or her ice cream?
Inktober Day 7 – Exhausted
She tried to have a cake/cup cake eat off with the drooling dog but had to give up first because she was exhausted.
Inktober Day 6 – Drooling
Prompt number 6 for #Inktober. First thing that came to mind was of course dogs!
Inktober Day 3 – Roasted
This not what I had in mind at all when I started drawing. I thought of roasted meat.. but non of the things I sketched out I actually liked. So I went a completely different direction.
What better than a dark roast in the morning? I am nothing without a good cup of coffee. What about you?
Inktober Day 2 – Tranquil
Drew this last night but did not have time to post it.
Tranquility…. to be destroyed.
What I would like to do right now: perfect picnic with a glass of very dark and heavy red wine and giant pieces of Gruyere, Manchego and Comté.
Inktober 2018 – Poisonous
It´s been almost exactly a year since I started drawing again. I think I started on day 9 last year after a friend told me I should give Inktober a try. She found it a shame that I was not drawing any more and right she was.
I remember that during the first two weeks everything was a struggle. Finding an idea of what to draw was a struggle, despite the prompt list. Drawing was a struggle. Ink was everywhere and using it was a struggle.
Today was quite the opposite. The only struggle I had, was to make time for it. I even bought new ink. I still managed to get ink on my hands and table but I had fun.
Rainy Days II
Rainy days… inspired by the frist rainy day illustration and perhaps you can call it a modern ballerina version of Mary Poppins´ umbrella scene. I´m not sure why I suddely remembered Mary Poppins, as it has been years since I saw the movie or listened to the story. I had the audio tape when I was little and would listen to it over and over again.
Autumn Mood
I needed to do a hoop drawing again as I am all in the mood for aerial hoop. It is so nice to be back in the air, although it also means to be bruised and sore all the time. It looks nice, but it is actually tough work!
I had no idea what I was going to do, so this one turned into an autumn inspired hoop hang picture. The foxes are like “what the hell is she doing?”
Little Pink House in Malinalco
I think I started to continue with my Mexico book because winter has officially arrived here. The mountains are white again and I miss the warmth.
At least I can have sunny drawings and hot whiskey to keep me warm! I still have about a third of my Mexico book to fill so I will have more of these coming …
At the Shoemaker in Malinalco
I think it was my second day in Malinalco back in April, when we stopped at the shoemaker right next to the market. My friend needed to get one of his shoe soles fixed. It was this small room with 3 guys working behind the counter, shelves full of old shoes, and an old TV showing Dragonball Z.
