An illustration of a ghost playing a violin. The ghost is a classic ghost shape, with a rounded top and long swooping body to a ruffled sheet tail. The ghost is curved to the right, leaning into the violin. It is holding it under its chin and playing it in a classic style. The ghost is a pale blue speckled with white spots that look like spray paint. It has its eyes shut in admiration for the music, with a slight smile on its face and pale red spots on its cheeks. The violin is brown, with gold highlights on the edges. Music notes hang in the air above the violin. The background is a dull purple, with a splotch of dark spray paint right behind the ghost and violin.

For my thirtieth Inktober illustration, I draw a ghost playing a violin, for the prompt "violin".

I'm not sure why I thought of this idea for the prompt, but I like the simplicity of it, and it was a good excuse to use the Inka brush once more. This time, I used it to make more outlines though, instead of just broadly defining shapes. I really like the texture I was able to add with the Fat Nozzle spray paint brush as well!

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Inka brush for linework, the Soft air brush for shading, and the Fat Nozzle spray paint brush for shading and texture.

If you'd like to see how I drew this one, you can watch the time-lapse below:
