Today’s prompt: screech. Okay, so it isn’t highbrow art.
Day 281 (Mon Oct 9th) Inktober “screech”
Month: October 2017
Day 280 (sun oct 8) Inktober “crooked”
I googled “sneaky thief” and found an online image (and couldn’t find the artist’s name…), copied the general body shape but somehow his neck turned out unbearably long. Still I actually like my version better, mistakes and all.
Here’s yesterday’s “shy” inked up…
Day 279 (Sat Oct 7th)
I worked all day yesterday… literally until 2 am… and didn’t get any art done!!! The coming week will be different. I was disappointed in myself but I’m just not going to worry about the TWO DAYS I have missed this week 😦
In the car on the way to a wedding I pencil sketched two future ink drawings… for inktober days 6 and 7, “sword” and “shy”… (copied from photos I googled… not my original ideas):
Day 277 (Thurs oct 5) Long
Norwegian longboat. Inktober day 5 “long”
Day 276 (Wed Oct 4) Underwater
Inktober Day 4… I missed it 😦 It was a very long day. But here it is now… “underwater”… a takje on one of rene quillivic’s wood cuts. 
Day 275 (b) Tues Oct 3… granddaughter art
My 5 year old granddaughter, Ellis, is an artist, too. We worked on this together but she did the hard parts. It’s her daddy and little brother at the pumpkin patch last Sunday.
I did my own version, as well, after I practiced on hers:
I love his little face!
Day 275 (Tues Oct 3) Poison
#inktober 2017
Today’s Inktober prompt is “poison”:
Day 274 (Mon Oct 2) Inktober day 2
More ink! Today I came home to find my artsnacks box had arrived. Yay!!!! (My monthly subscription box) All ink stuff of course, for Inktober. (see previous blog) So of course, lacking ideas of my own, I drew the items. Some pretty fun tools were included!! I am a pen fanatic, so this one is right up my alley.
My special Inktober sketchbook (I’ve been waiting all year to order this! 🙂 Each day has a prompt, so I wrote them out, thinking maybe I’d try them.
I didn’t worry about the prompt yesterday so today gave them both a quick shot.
Day 273 (Sun Oct 1) Inktober!! Day 1
Well, it is day one of an art challenge called Inktober, started in 2009 by artist Jake Parker. The point of the challenge is to work a little bit every day, consistently, and improve your skill. (Sound familiar???!!) But specifically, in ink. Rules:
Make a drawing in ink
post it online
hashtag with inktober and inktober 2017
repeat every day of october
Some of the participants are wicked good already. But I’m only in competition with myself, right?
We picked pumpkins today with the grandkids:
