Went on a stop over to Edinburgh last month. I enjoyed the city just as much as the first time I was there for a long weekend. And it seems I spent too much time drawing foxes the last month, as I started to see them everywhere.
I took the opportunity to stock up on sketchbooks and pens, as those things are rather pricey in Iceland. And of course I had to use them right away.
Winter is here and a storm warning is on for tomorrow. I think this will be my Christmas card for this year. What do you think?
Little fox was still hungry after he caught the fish. So he started chasing after a mouse he saw passing by.
I´m aware that Inktober finished a while ago, and I also finally managed to finish the last drawing. All my plans of keeping up with drawing daily got interrupted by visitors and spontaneous out of town adventures. But I am not really complaining about it, as it was a lot of fun too.
I really enjoyed the prompt list this year, and I am always curious and excited to see the differences of my drawings between the last years.
Inktober 2017 got me back into drawing, and it was a real struggle in the beginning.
2018 I had a lot of fun with different characters and surrealistic scenes.
This year I wanted to learn how to stick to a character, which eventually developed into little Mr. Fox. What could his first name be? Maybe Emil?
I also started to work on illustrating a children´s book. And this was supposed to be some kind of practice for it. I feel I should also make a story out of the little fox.
Hope you had fun with him too!
He didn´t know where the fish came from. But he tried to catch it anyway.
Time for a new winter coat?
When you feel like the night has eyes. Actually I love how this one turned out. I was not really excited in the beginning but decided to go with the idea anyway. Now I am happy I did.
Hungry fox…
Will he catch him or will he not?
Books! A real treasure. I keep accumulating books but I cannot keep up with the reading. So my resolution is, to use the winter months to catch up with it! What about you?
What is better than to hang upside down in the air?
Does the shoe fit?
Make me pretty! Little fox is preparing for Halloween.
My nickname is dragon.
Of course the only swing that came to mind was an aerial hoop ring. What better way to swing around and have fun in the air!
Little fox in wonderland.
I loved Tetris when I was young. Would play it hours on end until I would see little moving cubes behind my closed eyelids.
Day 4 prompt and all I could think of was ice cream.
Not even a week in and already running late… Little fox is exploring a bit more of the dark forest.
I really was looking forward to Inktober this year, after I had so much fun last year! Check it out here.
I got my ink and sketchbook already ready a week ago. After a quiet month of not drawing a lot I was looking forward to get into it again. And I really missed using ink. Of course I already managed to get ink all over my hands. Wouldn´t be inktober without that! So let´s have fun with this!
I’m going to follow the official Inktober prompt list again. Maybe in combination with a little fox. Lets see what happens.
