More practice in digital drawing. The turtle is a good subject for it. What do you think?

Friday Mood!
Trying out some more digital drawing.
Mr Fox II
Picture Perfect – A Mr Fox Story was my first ever attempt at a children´s book on my own. I had no plan and no idea what I was doing 2 years ago and this is the result of it. And I have to say, I am still quite happy with it. I had never written a story before, so please bear with me.
If you are curious about the story, get your free kindle ebook on Amazon until the 22nd of November. I am just happy to put the story out there.
Have a lovely Sunday!
My Little Puppet…
Todays warm up sketch.
More Ink…
I had so much fun with the Inktober prompts and my turtle and spider that I decided to keep on going and use the Inktober 52 prompt list to keep on going. It’s a nice way to do warm up sketches while I am working on other projects.
Here is the first prompt – Build. I am not sure what mood I am currently in, building sand castles or snow ones? Or who knows, maybe ash castles, depending on whether the volcano decides to erupt or not 🙂
Inktober 2023 Roundup
Despite having been late to the party, I really enjoyed the Inktober challenge as every year and I am really happy with the outcome. Just like in the previous years, I was not sure where the journey would take me. And as every year I am happy about what I learned and the results.
I got so much positive feedback about the little turtle and spider, that I am considering of putting an actual children´s book together with these two characters. So watch this space.
Here are all of the 32 drawings ( yes, I did one extra because I had so much fun)
Did you do inktober? What is your take away from the challenge?
Inktober 2023 – Rush & Fire
Last but not least. So I rushed through all the prompts in 4 days. And as every year I do like the process. From not knowing where this would go initially, it turned into an exercise of quick minimalist sketches.
Inktober 2023 – Beast
Sometimes you need to face your inner beast…
Inktober 2023 – Frost & Scratchy
Good morning! We had the first proper frost here yesterday. Time to bring out those winter jumpers again.
Inktober 2023 – Catch me if you can…
Still catching up with the last Inktober prompts. Will be finishing one day late which is not so bad considering that I drew all the prompts within 4 days!
#18 Saddle
#19 Plump
I ended up doing two versions of it.
#21 Chains
Meet the Artist
Adding a new piece to my portfolio. Almost happy how it turned out. This is the third version. Ink, watercolour and coloured pencils on mixed media paper.
One Week 100 People
It took me much longer than a week, due to the flu, but I eventually finished them all. I also was colouring some of them in and still want to colour in the rest. I really struggled in the end to get to 100 but I can also see a definite improvement from the first page. I haven’t been drawing people for a while, so this was a great exercise.
Next I think I will do 100 animals 🙂
One Week 100 People VI
Another page coloured in….I spent maybe 3 min on each sketch and then another 5 min to colour it in.
One Week 100 People V
Still having fun with this challenge. Here some of the coloured in sketched. I realized that I am either drawing kids or old people, which are both more interesting to draw.
One Week 100 People IV
I got knocked out by the flu last week… fun times… But I managed to make it to 71 people so far. I will keep on going all the way to 100 until the end of this week. It also takes me longer as I want to colour them all in.
One Week 100 People II
Love how these 4 turned out. I am using the opportunity to have fun with different styles and mediums. Used a mix of sienna ink, watercolour and coloured pencils for these.
One Week 100 People
It´s time again for this fun annual art challenge – One week 100 people. And it´s exactly that, you got one week to draw 100 people in any way you like.
I am using the opportunity to challenge myself to do some quick character sketches by using pinterest as inspiration. So far I´ve been having fun with it. Are you taking part in the challenge?
