An illustration of a flea looking at a map and scratching his head. The flea is standing on what appears to be skin, with a giant nose and bulging eye in the background, just on and over the horizon. The flea is a tan brown with flicks of darker color. He has a confused look on his face. The map he is holding looks like it was previously folded and features a non-descript topological map on the side facing the viewer. The skin in the background is light in complexion and speckled with darker spots, like freckles. The nose is on the right, with nostrils facing the viewer, looking like two round caves. The eye is on the right, just behind some long eye lashes. It is dark green. The background is a bright green with noisy paint splotches.

We're finally here: my last illustration for Inktober 2024! Today's drawing is for the prompt "landmark".

That's supposed to be a flea looking at his map. I originally wanted to make him standing in front of a giant pimple, as if the unexpected zit mountain threw him off his navigation, but it felt like it would look too much like a nipple, and I wanted it to be more recognizable.

Anyway, as with all the others, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, the Soft air brush for shading, and the Fat Nozzle, Splatter, and Flicks spray paint brushes for texture.

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

Thanks to everyone who followed along this year and enjoyed seeing the drawings get made! 😊
