Illustration Sketchbook

My tenth illustration for Inktober 2022 is a faraway jet streaking across the sky.

As usual, this one was created with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil using Procreate. I used the Procreate Pencil brush for the sketch, a modified version of the Mercury brush for lines, and a combination of the Soft Brush and Larapuna brushes for colors/mixing.

Inktober 2022 #9 – Breakfast

My ninth illustration for Inktober 2022 is the remnants of my usual breakfast: a granola bar wrapper.

Created in Procreate on an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil. Used the Procreate Pencil brush to sketch, a modified version of the Technical Pen brush for coloring, and a little bit of the Soft Brush at the end for the shadows and gradients.

If you'd like to see how I made this one, here's the time-lapse:

Inktober 2022 #6 – Bad Bear

My sixth drawing for Inktober 2022 is a bad bear who just threw open the door!

As usual, this was created in Procreate. I used the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework and shading, and the Clouds and Old Beach brushes for texture.

I was feeling very uninspired for this one. Originally, I wanted to just make a hulking creature being silhouetted against the door, but felt like it didn't look menacing enough once I started going down that route with it. Eventually, I just made it into a bear.

If you watch the time-lapse below, you'll see that I meandered a lot in the middle, experimenting with adding a second, smaller bear hiding to the side. I gave up on that though, because it felt too much like an adult being threatening towards a child. Even though they are bears. Oh well.

There's always tomorrow! 🙃
