Inktober 2026 – Day 1 Apple
It’s been a while since I used my ink. I have been illustrating with pencil and watercolour only the last months. I do not have a plan yet, so let’s see where this will go.
Inktober recap
Somehow Inktober is just around the corner! Not sure where the month went and with it all my plans.
My first Inktober was in 2018 and I have been doing it every year except in 2024. I actually missed out on Inktober 2024 as we were travelling in Sweden and Switzerland at the time.
2023 was the year of the “turtle” aka my little one. And Inktober was dedicated to the turtle character.
Not sure yet what I should focus on for this year. Despite all good intentions I am as unprepared as every year. So I will simply think about it tomorrow. Do you have an inktober game plan??
Another year, another Inktober
Who is doing INKtober this year? As every year, I think, I want to be prepared, and as every year, I get surprised by October 1st and still with no plan.
Last year I focused on animals. Not sure yet what I should focus on this year?
See the full 2025 recap below.
Continuation of the Hippo Theme
This is how I feel right now. Too much work, too little time to for play…
Find the print in my Etsy shop.
I want coffee
This print is now officially approved by my partners co-workers and is now on their office wall.
Want to make a statement too? Find the print here.
Oh deer!
Mid-week mode. After a snow storm faced with pure sunshine…
Snack Time
Seems the more I draw and the more creative I am, the more my blog suffers. But I have been drawing a lot, working on the story board for a new book. Doing some new Etsy posters.
Still plenty of things on my to-do list for this week. But first, a snack!
Have a wonderful day!
Weekly Planners without a Plan
New week new motivation. I made more planners and only semi so so followed my plan. Has been a very productive 2 weeks though.
I have been adding more of the weekly planners on my ETSY.
I also finished several 2026 calendars just right in time for February! Check them out here!
Have a great rest of the week!
Everything is fine, I think
Happy New Year! New resolutions there are plenty. Number one is to get better on my time management and to start and finish projects more efficiently.
Number 2 – take a pottery class.
Number 3 – to become fluent in French until the end of the year…. that’s a 25 year mission in the making.
The idea came a little late, but I am currently working on a 2026 calender. Anyone interested in a specific theme? Motivational honey badgers, black humour and aerial foxes are on top of my list.
Inktober 2025 Wrap up
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!
Inktober Day 31 – Award
Last but not least, the best award of all, the Golden Plover or Lóa as it is called in Icelandic.
Winter is coming so it is time for the Lóa to fly south. The birds will stay south until late spring. They will return to Iceland when summer starts. There is even a song about: Lóan er komin (The Golden Pover has arrived)
The crown turned out rather awkward I have to admit.
Inktober Day 30 – Vacant
Slowed down and went blank just before the finishing line. I eventually ended up having fun with this one and added coloured ink to it.
Gone south, that will be the theme soon.
Inktober Day 28 – Skeletal
A week late to the party. Anyway, darkness is upon us. The days are getting shorter by a few minutes each week.
Inktober Day 27 – Onion
Do you like onions? Onion pie in the autumn is the best!
10 min pencil sketch and 10 min for inking…
Inktober Day 24 – Rowdy
I scream, you scream, we scream for ice cream!
Inktober Day 23 – Firefly
Somehow this prompt idea came quickly. Let me be your light. The days are getting shorter pretty quickly here.
Inktober Day 22 – Button
Yes, so I have been drawing double. And forgot to post the last couple of days. The month is almost over! How did this happen?
