Inktober 2023 – Catch me if you can…

Still catching up with the last Inktober prompts. Will be finishing one day late which is not so bad considering that I drew all the prompts within 4 days!

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!

Illustration practice IV

Another slight changed master copy. My favourite so far. It will get a spot on the wall for sure. You might be familiar with the boat crew. Original illustration by Janosch.

Ink and watercolour.

Have a great weekend!

My version

The original by Janosch.

Illustration practice III

Another attempt at a master copy with my own spin. As a child I absolutely loved the stories and illustrations by Janosch. Maybe you have come across the Tigerente (lit. tiger duck)at some point? Absolutely love his whimsical style and his bear and tiger character. However, instead of copying his character I sneaked in Mr Fox’s cousin.
