Inktober! I made it! After missing out on it last year, it was great to have done it again. I got a bit delayed there in the and due to travel preparations, but hey, the journey is the goal.

So what did I learn? Don’t worry so much about the outcome and let loose and have fun with it. I also got a lot faster in sketching maybe 10 min, inking 10-20 min. All in all, great practice as always. Now I am ready to tackle more of my other projects. How about you? What are you working on?

Have a wonderful day!

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?

Yes, somehow I always end up doing 2 sketches per day because I cannot decide what to draw… That’s the reason I am slightly behind.
Happy Monday!

Everyone Needs a Friend

My sisters stuffed animal – Dumbo the elephant, as she called him. She never spent a night without him for 30 years, since she got him at the age of 2-3. His actual colours are more faded now and he got new eyes at least once or twice since then. I felt like I needed to capture him at least once. He is still going strong though, despite everything he went through.

Anyone else had a little friend that accompanied you throughout the years?
