InkTober No 25 - 29

Don't worry I'm not slacking off at work, I wrote this up last night and just didn't see the point in posting at 11:30.  

I kind of liked the goblin I posted last time, and spent a little while sketching out ideas and developing forms for it.  There is nothing super special here, I just figured I could incorporate some of my thought processes in developing this character idea into inktober.  I took a few of the... less awful ideas... and inked them.  There are a few obvious problems with these drawings, but I think I really like where the idea is heading.

Inktober # 24

Here is the next installment in the adventure that is InkTober.  I'm currently regretting committing to do this.  It's not really the challenge of drawing every day, I had already committed to that.  It's creating a complete drawing every day... in ink even.  The rest of the stuff I've committed to study are all suffering.  But, I did make the commitment, so I have to stick to it.  There are only a few days left in the month anyway.  I actually have a few more drawings, but I'm having a hard time getting them scanned in.  I will have that fixed by Thursday.  Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one!

InkTober No 17 - 23

This post should catch me up on InkTober.  Sorry for the quality on some of the images, I need to get a setup for photographing... I'm currently taking pictures with my phone and adjusting them as much as I can.  It will be better soon... I swear.. 

Several more #Inktober drawings - InkTober No. 12 - 16

Hey everyone, sorry for missing my Thursday post last week, but you know how it goes.  Today's post continues the Inktober project.  We are two-thirds through the month and I've learned quite a lot already.

My line work is better, which I think you can see in this post alone.  I'm really enjoying the juxtaposition of nice cleans and open white space.  My hatching is starting to improve, but it's still my least favorite method of shading.  Without super careful control, it just starts to look like texture, and I'm not super patient with it.

 I've also learned about the snowball effect of getting behind on a project.  I'm currently four drawings behind, with ten days to catch up.  I'll manage to catch up, but I fear the quality may suffer.  We shall see...

#InkTober No.'s 7 - 11

#INKTOBER DUMP!

My family was visiting for the last few days, so I was a little too busy to post updates.  However, I am back and here is my make-up assignment... Forgive the quality on some of these.  I rushed a couple of them, and snapped photos with my cell phone.  Either way, I hope you enjoy them.

#InkTober No. 6

Experimenting with water brushes.  I'm sad that the ink separated, but all in all I'm ok with the product.

#InkTober No. 5

Just a quick sketch playing with my new white pen.  It's simple, but I like it...

#Inktober No. 4

Inktober No. 4 - Hatching has never been my forte, but that's what #InkTober is all about right?  Practice makes perfect...

#Inktober No. 3

#InkTober No. 2

My second submission for #InkTober.  Not my best work, but I certainly agree with the sentiment!

#Inktober No. 1 - It's a special day in #InkTober

Today marks day two of #InkTober! Hooray! Actually I'm a little terrified.  This idea of producing an ink drawing everyday is a little daunting.  Since I'm already behind... even more so!  But I think the delay was worth it.  See today is my 10th wedding anniversary, so I spent a little extra time working on... this!

This was a gift for my wife, and took a little longer than I had anticipated.  (I had to do it when she wasn't looking see.)  Not to worry though, I will catch up... I hope... Wish me luck.  Until next time.
