Inktober 2025 #26: Puzzling

An illustration of a large multi-story building with a construction crane next to it. The building has a large hole in the middle in the shape of a traditional jigsaw puzzle piece, and the crane is holding a large puzzle piece which matches the hole. In the background are trees, other buildings, and the sky. The drawing is in black and white.

This is my entry for today's Inktober prompt, "puzzling". I thought it would be fun to play off the idea of a puzzle, but in an off-the-wall context. Pun intended. 😎

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Rough Nib Bleedy brush for linework, and the Gouache brush for shading. Also, shoutout to the Syrup brush for assisting me with some of the fills.

The Rough Nib Bleedy brush is from the Rusty Nib pack, by True Grit Texture Supply.

If you'd like to see how I drew this one, you can watch the time-lapse below:
