Inktober Leftover – Stretch III

Another yoga session. This one for all the cat lovers amongst you. I think you can figure out my take on cats and yoga?

Inktober Leftover – Stretch II

On November 21, 2018November 29, 2018 By MelIn Artworks 2018, inktober6 Comments

Anyone feels like doing more yoga?

Another one that I started for the Inktober prompt Stretch, but then felt like I had messed up the inking. So I left it until I was bored the other day and I finished it. I don´t think it is that terrible after all.

Now I´m thinking if I should add colourful yoga mats to the other drawings too? What do you think?

Yes, I just discovered the slide show feature.

Number 2 of dog yoga drawings. I started sketching this one for the Inktober prompt – Stretch – but then went with the other one as I thought it was more fun. But I think these two are not doing so badly either.

Inktober Leftover – Thunder

This was the first draft for the thunder prompt. She´s braving the thunder storm in style.

Inktober Leftover

I originally started drawing this one for the last prompt of Inktober titled slice.

But as the woman has finished eating almost all the cheese, I thought that the drawing did not fit the prompt that well any longer. Therefore, what you get are the leftovers.

Inktober Day 31 – Slice

I forgot to post the last of my Inktober drawings. After not having much of a social life in October, I went full force into it again since the beginning of November. So I have spent less time at home and more time out and about.

With the last prompt I decided to revisit the surreal landscape (and the man with the hat) of my first Inktober drawing. I know, the shading is all over the place. I was tired.

I really enjoyed the month though. I think I learned a lot in terms of sketching faster and also practiced “creative thinking”. Although in the end I struggled quite a bit, but I think that was more because I was juggling work and university on the side as well. I will try to keep on going with ink every once in a while and not just forget all about it again. I haven´t decided on a new project yet but I have plenty of ideas. So watch this space.

Inktober Day 30 – Jolt

Part 2 of my series titled Cats are Assholes.

I was reminded of the phrase “Das Leben ist kein Ponyhof” (literal translation: Life is not a pony farm) the other day, and thought it is quite fitting here on the wall. It means “Life ain´t easy.”

I’m going for double trouble.

Inktober Day 28 – Gift

I thought this would be one of the easier prompts, but I quite struggled with it. I actually drew a total blank, so I left it for 2 days… Not sure what I want to say with this drawing either. A race to the top? Beer as reward? Where is the gift? You figure it out.

I really have been struggling with the last couple of prompts for Inktober. I feel like I slowly ran out of ideas. But after taking a short break for 3 days I finally finished the last one yesterday. So I will post the last few drawings during the week. Then I think I will be back to colour!

Don´t steal my thunder.

Apparently dog yoga is a thing? have you done it? Somehow I cannot see a dog enjoying it unless you have the right bribes.

I prefer regular yoga. But if I get a dog, I might try this.

Inktober Day 25 – Prickly

On November 1, 2018November 3, 2018 By MelIn Artworks 2018, inktober5 Comments

Oktober is over and I am behind in posting the last couple of drawings. Because of work and studies I am also still missing the last two prompts. So I will just keep on going.

I realized how cruel this image is, after I googled dogs vs porcupines. So not pretty.

Inktober Day 24 – Chop

A Halloween inspired scribble. She is chopping watermelons, not heads or pumpkins.

Happy Halloween!

Here is a muddy cake. I quite like them. The more chocolate the better, right?

Inktober Day 20 – Breakable

Forgot to post this one. Inktober prompt for day 20 – Breakable.

We were at a friend’s place the other day and they talked at length about how their cat does things that annoy them, but then again, he is “oh so cute” that you cannot be angry with him.

So this drawing is titled “Cats are assholes”.

I am a dog person. What about you?
