I'm back to daily illustrations today for the first day of Inktober 2026! This is my eleventh year participating and I'm looking forward to seeing what I can come up with!
Today's inaugural drawing is for the prompt "apple" and is of a witch creating a poisoned apple.
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 shapes, and the Old Brush, Old Beach, and Plimsoll brushes for texture. For this series, I've decided to follow the "official" prompts and creating everything in black and white.
If you'd like to see how I drew this one, you can watch the time-lapse below:
