Inktober Day 4: Radio
This might be my favorite Inktober drawing so far. Trying for a simpler, more modern approach.

Inktober Day 3: Bulky
I had fun with this one. Just piling more stuff on this poor guy. His face ended up looking a lot more miserable than I intended, though. I meant it to be comical but it seems more cruel. Whoops.

Inktober Day 2: Wisp
Whew! Two Inktober drawings in one day. I’m not really sure what I was going for with this one. The first thing I thought of was Brave, so I guess that was an inspiration.
I’m going to be honest, I don’t really like this one, but it was a good practice. The only good pen I have is a micron, and I was NOT going to color this whole thing in with that, so I just used a regular sharpie for a lot of it. And I hope that using watercolor isn’t breaking the rules—I thought it was close enough to an ink wash. Yeah, I think I need to get some more supplies if I want to get through this month.

Inktober 2020 Day 1: Fish
Inktober Day 1: Fish
First day of Inktober and I’m already behind…but here we go! I’ve never done Inktober before, but I’ve been meaning to do it for a while now and now I’m finally giving it a shot.
The theme of day one was fish, so I drew a betta. I’m not sure how I feel about this piece. I like the fins and tail, but the scales and shading are honestly kind of sloppy. But I’ve hardly worked with pen before, and not in a long time either. By the end of this I’m sure I’ll be much better.

Grandma Ruthie
My great-grandmother passed away two days ago. She was kind, caring, and incredibly strong. We will miss her dearly. Rest in peace, Grandma Ruthie.

Cat Sketches
Just some kitties I drew to practice exaggeration/stylization.

Mirabelle and Avery
My friends made these two characters—Mirabelle and her son Avery—who I thought were just so adorable. The three of us each drew this same picture of them, and it was really cool to see how they each came out!

Graffiti Tag
I’m really loving my art class so far this year. My teacher is just wonderful, and the material were covering seems like it’s going to be very fun. Online learning can’t stop us artists from doing what we love!
The first project we were assigned was this “Graffiti Tag” piece. The guidelines were very loose and we had a lot of room to be creative—exactly how I think art class should be. All we really needed to do was to display our names in a unique, colorful way using dimensional and creative lettering.
I feel like my project strayed away from the rules a little bit, but I’m still really happily with it. Like my art teacher says: if you have an idea that you’re passionate about that might not fit the rules exactly, it’s always okay to go through with it. Creativity is what’s most important!
