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.
Here is a muddy cake. I quite like them. The more chocolate the better, right?
I like good whiskey.
They were both so drained from playing outside that they needed a break.
Although I am also drained of being sick, which I have been the last couple of days, so this is also my current state…
Self-portrait. I do not bake for a reason. Enjoy your cake. Nailed it.
Message in a bottle… man in a bottle…
I quite struggled with this Inktober prompt. I had no idea what to draw. And then this was the outcome….? A hamster with swollen cheeks.
A bit behind with drawing, as this was my state the last couple of days while I was studying for an exam beside work. Self portrait so to speak, with my favourite black heals.
It´s ice cream o´clock… again.
My craving for sweets proportionately increases with the decrease in daylight hours.
The living room table is showing traces of inktober as well.
When you go fishing and it did not turn out as expected.
Wow, so I got featured on WordPress Discover! Totally unexpected and what an amazing boost! ❤ Thank you!
Prompt for day 10 was “flowing”. I saw lots of drawings of beautiful flowing hair… Never would have thought of that. First thing that came to my mind were rivers of milk and honey, followed by this. I think I was hungry.
If the chicken needs a break, you can hop on your precious dragon to take you places.
I wish he could take me to work right now, so I´d avoid the traffic.
What does the flying bottle do there you might wonder? I thought about a snitch first, which turned into a bottle of beer, which is the carrot for the dragon to keep him going the right direction.
Who´s the star? She or her ice cream?
She tried to have a cake/cup cake eat off with the drooling dog but had to give up first because she was exhausted.
Prompt 4 of Inktober – Spell…
Not sure what he is brewing here, but he certainly has something cooking.
It´s been almost exactly a year since I started drawing again. I think I started on day 9 last year after a friend told me I should give Inktober a try. She found it a shame that I was not drawing any more and right she was.
I remember that during the first two weeks everything was a struggle. Finding an idea of what to draw was a struggle, despite the prompt list. Drawing was a struggle. Ink was everywhere and using it was a struggle.
Today was quite the opposite. The only struggle I had, was to make time for it. I even bought new ink. I still managed to get ink on my hands and table but I had fun.
Rainy days… inspired by the frist rainy day illustration and perhaps you can call it a modern ballerina version of Mary Poppins´ umbrella scene. I´m not sure why I suddely remembered Mary Poppins, as it has been years since I saw the movie or listened to the story. I had the audio tape when I was little and would listen to it over and over again.
I needed to do a hoop drawing again as I am all in the mood for aerial hoop. It is so nice to be back in the air, although it also means to be bruised and sore all the time. It looks nice, but it is actually tough work!
I had no idea what I was going to do, so this one turned into an autumn inspired hoop hang picture. The foxes are like “what the hell is she doing?”
I think it was my second day in Malinalco back in April, when we stopped at the shoemaker right next to the market. My friend needed to get one of his shoe soles fixed. It was this small room with 3 guys working behind the counter, shelves full of old shoes, and an old TV showing Dragonball Z.
