Inktober 2025 #30: Vacant

An illustration of a cartoon girl with a vacant expression on her face. The girl has a light complexion and light hair in a high ponytail. Her eyes are half open and she is staring ahead with glassy eyes. Her mouth is hanging open. She is pictured from the shoulders up. The background is dark gray with a textured glow that is centered behind the girl. The drawing is in black and white.

For today's Inktober prompt, "vacant", I drew a cartoon girl with a very vacant look on her face.

Originally, I thought I might draw a dark, moody, and empty parking lot at night. But then I sat down and I just wasn't feeling it. So I fell back to an idea my wife had: draw a vacant face. 😐

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Quoll brush for background texture.

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