Here it is - my last drawing for Inktober 2023! The prompt for this one was "fire", and after really trying to come up with something fun, I landed on this.

I'm almost certain that I've done a dumpster fire illustration for a past project, but I need to get this one done and found a neat way to tie it into this year's Inktober set. Can you find it?

I had a great time doing this project. Thanks to everyone who has been following along throughout - I hope you've enjoyed watching it as much as I have making it. 😄 As always, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup and Inka brushes for linework, and the Hartz brush for background texture.

Here is my drawing for today's Inktober prompt, "rush".

I don't usually use the prompt words in my drawings, but I saw someone else's work where they created an 'R' in a sort of gilded/cloudy look, then added motion lines to it, and it inspired me.

I don't really draw motorcycles often and I hate to draw vehicles in general, so I was challenging myself, especially with the overhead oblique angle. I'm really happy with how the motorcycle and burnout smoke turned out though!

Just one more to go, whew! 😅

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, a modified Mercury brush for linework, the Syrup brush for some small details, and the Medium Nozzle and Fat Nozzle spray paint brushes for shading/texture. I also used the Soft air brush for fading some of the effects.

This is my illustration for today's Inktober prompt, "massive".

I had a pretty busy day today, so I had to power through this one. The shading is a little sub-par in my opinion, but I like how it turned out, and I like the composition of it.

I didn't spend a lot of time working out the proportions of the woman, so hopefully nothing looks too far off. 😅

Here's today's Inktober illustration, for the prompt "sparkle". It's a nice cold glass of water!

I didn't set out to make this one look realistic, and I drew it (mostly) without any references. When I got into doing the lighting and shadows though, I couldn't help myself and ended up doing a lot of little things that I see in my 3D renders. 😅

It probably would have turned out better if I had just kept it simple, but this is just how it turned out.

Here's my Inktober illustration for today's prompt, "beast"!

I thought it'd be nice to have our beast just be a dude who ran out of coffee. The poor barista. 😔

This one started in one place and finished in a slightly different place, but I like how it turned out. The square canvas made the composition get a little boring near the bottom, but that doesn't take away from it too much.

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 Medium Splatter, Fat Nozzle, and Burst spray paint brushes for background texture.

Here's my twenty-sixth illustration for Inktober 2023. The prompt for this one was "remove".

This was sort of a last-minute idea that I had, and I'm a little indifferent about how it came out. I don't hate the depth of it, or the character of the creatures being farmed, but maybe it would've been better with more of them? Who knows. This was just one of those drawing that needed to get done. 😅

Somewhere from the depths of my mushy brain, this was loosely inspired by the games Limbo and World of Goo.

As usual, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup and Inka brushes for linework and blocking out shapes, and the Medium Nozzle spray paint brush for texture.

Fancy a drink? 😆 Here's my Inktober illustration for today, for the prompt "dangerous".

I wanted to do something simple, but the lighting and transparency ended up making it kind of complex anyway. My left hand served as a model once more, and through the magic of drawing, I conjured up a dangerous-looking potion.

For today's Inktober prompt, "shallow", I drew a frog sitting in some shallow water. 🐸

Here's my Inktober illustration for today's prompt, "celestial". I spent all day brainstorming this one, and eventually thought I might pick one of the constellations and draw it in some weird way... but I couldn't settle on any of them, and then this idea popped into my head.

I didn't want to draw an astronaut. I didn't want to draw hands. I didn't want to draw foreshortened hands, arms, and legs. The idea was too good though, so I did it anyway - and I really like how it turned out!
