Today’s prompt: screech. Okay, so it isn’t highbrow art.
Day 281 (Mon Oct 9th) Inktober “screech”
Tag: ink
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 277 (Thurs oct 5) Long
Norwegian longboat. Inktober day 5 “long”
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 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:
Day 264 (Friday Sept 22) sunflower sketch
A quick sunflower sketch (because all I ever have time for any more is quick!) for a card… I hope to add a little color tomorrow.
Day 261 (Tues Sept 19) more people sketching
A quick sketch before my head hits the pillow… I REALLY just want to nod off, but… ONLY BECAUSE I’m accountable through this blog… I’m going to at least try something quick. I liked watching this dude walking down the street, huge bouquet in one hand, staring at his phone the whole time. He was like something out of a movie.
Day 260 (Mon Sept 18) dog walking
In Annapolis, I surreptitiously took a lot of shots of people that looked interesting to me. Not in a creepy way. Although it sounds like it now. This lady was on a corner across the street from us. Emmett was mesmerized by her companions. And I by her easy way of walking and the little slouch she had. She looked very urban to me.
Days 258 and 259 (Sat and Sun Sept 16 and 17) Annapolis, MD sketches
Annapolis is full of beautiful old architecture, and interesting people, including lots of soldiers from the Naval Academy. Yeah, my navy kid is a little short on top, but my book is angled slightly as well, so it may not be as bad as it looks. I love this long skinny building. It reminds me of London.
I brought my paints, but didn’t make time for them. It was all I could do to sketch something out before bed. I really should be painting a lot this month because next month is “Inktober” and I had hoped to play with ink all month. There’s a lot going on with work for the next two months… I’d hate for my project to fizzle out the last two months, and I don’t plan to stop, but I’m thinking my projects each day will be very quick. I’d like to end the (art) year with a bang, not a whimper, but even a whimper is still a noise, right?
