Inktober Day 11 – Sour
Didn’t have much time for drawing. So this is what I came up with…
Raccoon in a pile of lemons. Will he bite or wont he?
Inktober Day 10 – Pick
Seems like the mushrooms have become reoccurring characters…
Inktober Day 9 – Pressure II
I did a second drawing as I was in the mood…
Tea time didn’t quite go as planed. Hope dinner will be better…
Inktober Day 9 – Pressure
When you are trying to be zen but your head is making it difficult…
Inktober Day 8 – Watch
When you have plenty of watches but are running late anyway.
Happy Monday!
Inktober Day 7 – Fan
When even the dogs are sweating. Let’s call it teamwork….
Have a great weekend everyone!
Inktober Day 6 – Spirit
This forest scene is inspired by the little mushroom person that came out of nowhere in the last drawing…
Inktober Day 5 – Raven #2
Tried something completely different as well for the raven prompt. Although I don’t feel like drawing this character is really me. I really prefer drawing animals and I feel like I haven’t found my style yet when it comes to drawing people appropriate for children’s books. I will keep on practicing though.
I am still on track with my Inktober drawings, I just haven’t managed to take photos and upload them yet. They will follow shortly.
Who else is doing Inktober here?
Inktober Day 5 – Raven
Fly away with me….
Inktober Day 4 – Knot
Inspired by Marsupilami. Do you remember him?
I used to watch it a lot when I was a kid.
Inktober Day 3 – Vessel
I´m experimenting with adding a bit of colourful highlights to my ink drawings. What do you think?
I have also decided to spend Inktober to explore new and old characters.
Inktober Day 1 – Crystal
Inktober is here again!
I think ink is still my favourite medium to draw with. I haven’t picked any particular topic to draw this year but I will just follow the official Inktober prompt list and see what comes out of it. I think I will experiment creating different characters.
Let this owl look into her crystal ball to tell you what happens next.
Pumpkin Delivery Service
Happy October 1st!
It’s the beginning of Inktober! I haven’t started with the Inktober sketch just yet but will get to it soon.
Meanwhile I tried to draw something a bit different, inspired by a Draw this in your style challenge on Instagram . I haven’t really been doing people illustrations for children’s books, but I think I am quite happy with my first attempt.
What do you think?
Adventures of the Little Fly VIII
Continuation of introducing the Adventures of the Little Fly.
The tree of the little fly is illuminated by winter lights.
Adventures of the Little Fly VII
Continuation of introducing the Adventures of the Little Fly.
I very much enjoyed drawing this snow covered garden scene.
During the beginning of the long winter nights here in Iceland, many people cover their trees with winter lights. It makes the dark nights appear more bright.
We had the first snowflakes flying around here yesterday. Way too early if you ask me.
Adventures of the Little Fly IV
Continuation of introducing the Adventures of the Little Fly.
Something was different in the garden of the little fly. The flowers seemed to let their heads hang and also the bees flew slower than usual.
Adventures of the Little Fly III
Part III of the little fly story introduction.
One morning when the little fly woke up in her hole in her tree, she noticed that something was different in the garden…
Picnic with Friends
Mr Fox in colour!
What is better than a meal in good company. Another doodle trying out those Chameleon markers. Fun to try but too much hassle to use those pens if you ask me. But I do like the outcome.
Mr Fox invited Mr Mouse for a surprise birthday picnic in the woods. The weather is good and the group is enjoying their cup of tea.
Have a great week.
Owl Orchestra Part III
Warm up sketch for today – Owl playing piano. Why not.
Drew this using my “brand new” 30 year old Mont Blanc fountain pen that I received as a gift the other week. The pen is beautiful and it just smoothly goes over the paper. Perfect for sketching on the road, which is a habit I want to take up.
