Here's today's Inktober illustration for the prompt "rhinoceros". I decided to keep it pretty simple for today's drawing, which caps off three weeks of this project! Just 10 more drawings to go!

As always, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching and the Syrup brush for everything else. I'm posting each finished illustration at my website.

Today's prompt for Inkotber was "uncharted", and I had a hard time coming up with something fun to make for it. In the end, I decided to make a pirate upset with his obscured (read: uncharted) treasure map. Rough! 😆

Anyway, 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 Soft air brush for shading.

For today's Inktober illustration, the prompt was "ridge", so I stuck with the driving theme from yesterday and drew cars driving over a ridge in the road.

This was a different style for me, using familiar techniques. I can't say that I got it just where I wanted it in the end - it feels like it needs some more texture, more stylized colors, or more linework or something - but it's mostly how I envisioned it from the start.

Today's Inktober illustration was for the prompt "drive", and I'm pretty stoked about how it turned out!

I've never drawn this angle before, but we've all seen it - it's quite common in TV/film. One of the biggest criticisms I have for my own art is that I often shy away from more dynamic, energetic camera angles because it feels like it's going to turn out bad, be way more work, etc. I'm glad I ignored my inner voice today and just went for it. 😎

Here's my seventeenth (and first "spooky") illustration for Inktober, for the prompt "journal".

I enjoyed making this one, though I wish it had a little more pop to it in the end. These late-night drawing sessions have been a good way to wind down, and catch up on podcasts, but... they're kind of slowly killing me. 😅

Here's my Inktober illustration for today! The prompt was "grungy".

Originally, I was going to draw a "grunge rocker" in the style of a Peanuts character, but decided against it at the last moment, then just drew this instead.

Now that I look at it again, maybe it's not grungy enough? I dunno, but I think it turned out alright.

Today's Inktober prompt was "guidebook", and so I had one of two choices: draw the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook.

It's been a long time since I read Hitchhiker's Guide, and my memories of how things were described are hazy (and colored by the visuals from the 1994 "illustrated" version), so I figured I'd go with the ducks on this one.

For anyone who isn't familiar, the Junior Woodchucks are a scouting organization that Huey, Dewey, and Louie belong to in the DuckTales show and comics. In the show, this guidebook is always presented as an encyclopedia of nearly all knowledge, in which the ducks often find hyper specific facts related to whatever current adventure they happen to be on.

So anyway, that's what I draw for today's illustration, along with a Junior Woodchuck hat and merit badge sash. 😊

This is my fourteenth illustration for Inktober, and the last one for the second week of drawings! The prompt for this one was "roam".

I struggled a lot with this one (as you can see in my evolving sketch here). I wasn't feeling very inspired by the prompt, and the guy in the first few sketches just wouldn't come together in a way that made me want to finish it.

I did like how the hand and phone looked though, so ultimately that's what I ended up going with. Hopefully tomorrow's prompt is better! 😅

The prompt for today's Inktober illustration was "horizon".

Initially, I wanted to do just a simple sunset, but right when I sat down to draw, I had this idea pop in my mind, so I went ahead with it. It's still quite simple, but at least there's more of a story to it now. 😊

Here's today's Inktober illustration, this time for the prompt "remote".

Looking at the rest of the prompts so far, I realize that this one was probably supposed to be "remote" like "far away from others/civilization", but I liked the idea of doing something with a remote control instead, and it was a good opportunity to break from the theme the "official" prompts seem to be laying out.

I almost drew this one as a hairy man shaving his own back, so consider yourself lucky that I settled on the sheep instead. 😆
