Day 291 (Thurs Oct 19) bunny!

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , 4 Comments

We have a guest artist today, Ellis Dickson, 5 years old…. Superhero Fire-girl Mosquito… our Ellie-bellie! But enough introduction… on to the ART.

Ellis and I were drawing bunnies, and I was supposed to post this spectacular masterpiece YESTERDAY, and got bogged down with work instead. Apologies, sweet girl! Two I drew for her to color, but the other she drew by herself with just a dab or two from me! AND she used really special ARTIST pens, too. Pretty cool, huh? You can all say “I knew her when…”

And here is my quick sketch for the evening. I cant do more than three minutes but like we have said throughout  October… 3 minutes is better than no minutes! Inktober word for today “cloud”… and I thought about how much the silly drawn clouds look like trees…so there is my little weeping cloud tree.

Day 284 (Thursday October 12) ink puppy

Ink, ink, and more ink. I discovered sometimes something looks bad simply because it isn’t finished yet. I kept adding layers, and now I love the little guy. Ignore the little bit of eraser on the page. 🙂 I drew this for someone I am very very late in sending something to…. hopefully she will think he is sweet.

Day 280 (sun oct 8) Inktober “crooked”

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

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):

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!

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.

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:

Some of the participants are wicked good already. But I’m only in competition with myself, right?

We picked pumpkins today with the grandkids:
