I fell behind on both my personal 2017 challenge AND my inktober challenge! It was a crazy week! So here I am, trying to catch up, over a few days:
Day 285 (Fri Oct 13) inktober “run”
Tag: #inktober
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 282 (Tues Oct 10) Inktober “gigantic”
I’m pretty disappointed in most of my Inktober participation so far… I just don’t have time!! Still… I didn’t participate AT ALL last year, and anything is better than that.
Day 281 (Mon Oct 9th) Inktober “screech”
Today’s prompt: screech. Okay, so it isn’t highbrow art.
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 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 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:
