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. 😅

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 Inka brush and Fat Nozzle spray paint brush for background texture.

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.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Inka brush for linework, the Medium Nozzle spray paint brush for shading, and the Flicks and Fat Nozzle spray paint brushes for texture.

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. 🐸

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

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!

Today's Inktober prompt was "chains", so for my illustration, I drew a ubiquitous coffee chain. If you're driving and you miss one, just hit the next! ☕

That's three weeks down for Inktober, by the way - it's going by so fast this year!

This is my drawing for today's Inktober. The prompt was "frost". This one took me about 2 hours to complete, and I spent all but about 5 minutes doing everything but the frost. I'm happy the effect looks okay and that the window didn't need a lot of work because I didn't really think about it much until the end. 😬

Not really sure how I feel about it overall. It turned out close to how I envisioned it, but I had sort of hoped to have it look a little more gray/mysterious. And I didn't have the guts to try to add falling snow to it. Oh well!
