Today's Inktober prompt was "trunk", and if you watch the time-lapse below, you'll see that in the earlier part of my sketch, I went big: a tree trunk holding up an open box trunk, with an elephant trunk sticking out.

When I was getting ready to start "inking" this one, I realized I could also do the trunk of a car, which I drew in the background. I had a hard time fitting it in there though, and after a little while of messing with the composition, I got a lot less ambitious and chose to just draw the car by itself. A lot less epic than the original idea, I know, but I'm feeling tired tonight and needed to get this done. 😴

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 Burst spray paint brush and Gouache brush for background texture.

For today's Inktober prompt, "drink", I drew a drinking fountain shooting an arc of water into a basin.

This prompt was so open to interpretation, I had a hard time settling on what I wanted to do. I liked the idea of doing something like this though, a very familiar object to so many people, and it was good graphic shading practice. I tried to keep the lines and shading loose.

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.

Today's Inktober prompt was "shredded", and I chose to go quite literal with it. It was fun working on something with a different aesthetic from my usual drawings though, and I like how it turned out!

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 Burst spray paint brush and Toner Grit Fine 2 brush for background texture.

Originally, I was thinking about drawing the wrestler, Sting, for this Inktober illustration. But the closer I got to drawing time, the less I wanted to draw a human face. Which is okay, because I like how this turned out instead!

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Smooth Natural Nib brush for linework, and the Pin Liner 0.1 Pressure Spray brush for shading.

Today's Inktober prompt was "sweep". I dodged any sort of janitorial theme I might've been tempted to do and went straight for something much sillier: Minesweeper. 😵

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Inka brush for linework, and the Halftone Stamp 1 and Worn 4 Subtle brushes for additional texture.

Those last two brushed are from the Fast Grit pack by True Grit Texture Supply.

Today's Inktober prompt was "heavy", so... I drew a dude trying to lift something heavy!

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Rusty Nib 1 brush for linework, the Syrup brush for fills, and the Rough Dot Shader 45 Light brush for the halftone shading.

Today's Inktober prompt - and the first drawing of week 2 of this project - was "reckless", and I spent a lot of time thinking about it during the day.

Ultimately, I ended up doing this because I felt like it was a modern, relatable thing. And also because I bet a lot of people have done this without thinking much about how absolutely dangerous it is! 😵

For some reason it felt like this illustration took a long time to create, but when I check the stats in Procreate, it's only an hour and 18 minutes. Maybe it was because it had some many overlapping layers I had to consider?

As always, 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 Burst spray paint brush and Worn 1 Subtle brush for background texture.

That last brush is from the Fast Grit pack, by True Grit Texture Supply.

Alright, I know this probably wasn't a unique idea, but I saw the prompt for today's Inktober drawing, "starfish", and there was pretty much no way I wasn't going to draw Patrick for it. 😆

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Studio Pen brush for linework, the Syrup brush for some touchups, the Soft air brush for shading, and the Splatter and Flicks spray paint brushes for texture.

Today's Inktober prompt was "pierce", and after bouncing a lot of silly ideas around in my head, I landed on a very silly one indeed: this much pierced elephant.

I enjoyed making it even though I'm not super jazzed with how it turned out. I much prefer drawing animals with more cartoon proportions, and this one just looks a bit weird to me.

Anyway, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Rusty Nib 1 brush for linework, the Gouache and Rough Dot Shader 45 Light brushes for shading, and the Worn 1 Subtle brush and Burst spray paint brush for texture. And also a small assist from the Syrup brush for fills.

The Rusty Nib brush is from the Rusty Nib pack, the Rough Dot Shader 45 Light is from the Beat Tones pack, and the Worn 1 Subtle brush is from the Fast Grit pack, all by True Grit Texture Supply.

Today's Inktober prompt was "deer". I wanted to go for a "deer in the headlights" thing with this one, but ended up not doing a road, just making the deer look like he got caught doing something. I'm not sure why that something is eating an ice cream cone, but I like how it turned out. 😆
