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.

Inktober Day 8 – Reckless

Not reckless. Work in progress. Had fun on the hoop this morning. I am not reckless but I know my strengths and weaknesses.

It’s been a while since I drew Mr Fox in the air. Did you know I have a full collection off downloadable aerial fox prints on my Etsy? They actually have become one of my most favourite items.

And the finished drawing. Who is the reckless on here?

Inktober Day 7 – Starfish

Good morning world! What are you having for breakfast? Personally I stick with big black coffee and a banana.

Another seagull. Interesting fellas… If you missed the first one, here is yesterday’s seagull. Should I add a seagull print to my Etsy shop?

Have a wonderful day!

Do you like seagulls?

Inktober Day 6 – Pierce

Sticking to exploring different kinds of animals. Seagulls are weird though. We occasionally have huge seagulls sitting on our balcony. Looking at their beaks, I definitely wouldn’t want to get too close to them.

Day 10 – 100 Animals

Had a contributing artist joining me today for my drawing session. She was very excited to add spots of colour to the page.

Day 9 – 100 Animals

As mentioned previously, I gave in to my need to draw cute dogs… Do you have a favourite animal?

Happy weekend!

Day 8 – 100 Animals

Half way through…and first storm of the season! Winter has officially arrived. Perfect time to stay in an be creative. It’s the first time that I am having fun with a sketchbook and trying out different things. Are you keeping a sketch book?

Day 7 – 100 Animals

Alight more dogs, but I am trying to mix it up again with. Sausage dogs are the weirdest creatures. And it’s been a long time since I drew a capybara. Here is the whole collection, in case you missed them. You can also find the odd Capybara in my Etsy shop.

I love ink. And yes it can get messy…

Day 6 – 100 Animal

I am still a dog person. I just love drawing dogs.

Adding some colour to the black and white… good to dust off those watercolours as well.

What is your favourite medium?
