“The Fog Awaits.” Prompt 9 from INKredible Inktober. 89% accurate representation of how my brain feels. Used gel ink pens and then used a paper towel with hand sanitizer to smear it.
Prompt number eight from INKredible Inktober is “Fireborn.” That brought to mind the subject of today’s sketch. John Brown. Militant abolitionist who’s name was sung to the tune of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” after his execution in 1859.
The prompt for the day from INKredible Inktober is “Foxy Tale.”
The prompt for today is “Floating House” from INKredible Inktober.
It’s day six and I’m still doin’ it! LOOKIT ME GOOOOO!
Anyway…
Today’s prompt from INKredible Inktober is “Inner Warmth.” The label is a bit of an inside inside joke from the ol’ boozing days.
Back to the prompts from INKredible Inktober. Today it is “Healing Roots.” Too literal? 😀
Not going with an online prompt today. My nephew texted me that him and his class partner needed an illustration of Poseidon and asked if I’d do one. Couldn’t hardly say no to the kid, could I? Anyway, this is the result. He is happy with it and that is what counts.
From the INKredible Inktober prompts comes “Berry Picker.” This one got away from me a bit. Serves me right for trying to art the morning after a tussle with insomnia. But part of doing this is learning, so there ya go.
Well. Here I am at my woefully neglected smidge of the internet. What is happening, babies? I’ve been doing some stuff. Yuppers.
Last weekend I attended SiouxperCon in Sioux Falls and, as fate would have it, I moderated two panels while I was there. Had a helluva good time but am quite frankly still too exhausted to do a write-up. One is coming. Cross my ass.
Also, for the first time I am doing Inktober. Started by Jake Parker in 2009 as a way to develop better drawing habits, it is a drawing challenge to do one ink work a day for every day in October. The official site has prompts to help kick the ideas in gear and many other places do as well. My friend Jen Dixon joined with some artist friends to create some prompts and a contest to win some Skillshare memberships under the banner INKredible Inktober. Yesterday was “Metamorphosis” and today was “Forest of Wonders.” I’ll be posting the rest as they are completed. Drawings below.
So, anywhozle, I’ll get a SiouxperCon post (probably two or three) and keep plugging away at the sloppy art. Amazing how quick the skill start to slip when you don’t do it for a while. I should know better.
