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?
Cute puppy, right?’
Now as an double edited version. Went on a 2 hour drawing spree late last night and added some details to some of the previous drawings. I also managed to catch up with all the prompts!
And the first draft. I got rather quick in sketching. I’d say 10 min or so. The inking I actually don’t know how long it takes me. Should maybe time it. But definitely longer.
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!
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.
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…
Work in progress
And the finished illustration.
Updated version below. Felt like it was missing something.
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.
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?
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?
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.
No deer in the headlights… deer with no lights. Happy Monday!
Dogs and llamas… is this the inktober theme…
So far so good. I made a Pinterest board where I keep adding pictures to.
Did a couple of quick sketches in coloured pencil. After about 15 of them I felt like going in with ink to give it some quick contours and shading…
Also dusted off those caran d’Ache coloured pencils just for the fun of it. It really has been a while…
Summer came and went. I am trying once again to get out of hibernation with a step by step plan. I tidied up my desk and drawers. I realised that the most valuable possessions I have are a dozen ink bottles and the piles of watercolour paper that I accumulated over the years and never used. Let’s not mention the box of Caran d’Ache coloured pencils that I bought one by one…Just like books, buying art supplies is just too tempting wherever I am. Time to use them all!
So follow along for my September plan. Join in if you want!
This will be my INKtober warm up. Last year was the first year after 7 continuous years of participating in Inktober that I skipped it. Will try to make up for it this year.
Are you planning to do Inktober?
I realized the last post has been a while. I was busy enjoying the sun in the Algarve in Portugal.
Despite the lack of updates on my blog, I have been busy with my Etsy designs and was working on my never ending book project. BUT the end is near and I can hopefully get started on the next adventure one soon!
In the meantime here is a little easter bunny for you.
Download, print, fold, cut and pass it on.
Are you in need of a last minute Valentine´s card or friendship card?
Then look no further. Here is your card to download. Print, fold, cut and voila!
Honey Badger – To my partner in crime
Blue footed booby – To my partner in crime
More you can find on my Etsy.
Let me know which one is your favourite.
Hyvää ystävänpäivää (Happy Friend’s day!) Thanks for following 🙂
A new year and new adventures… who knows what will happen this year?
For once I started it super motivated.
#1 – Draw a crab
#2 – Finish my Madame Woof Woof illustration project!
Number 1 is done and number 2 is in the works.
What are your new year resolutions?
Or something like that. It is Inktober and I haven’t found the time yet to get it started. Maybe I’ll try and play catch up at the weekend.
Are you doing Inktober?
Coming your way…
