My first Inktober illustration for 2021. I'm following the official prompts this year, so here's a crystal!
If you'd like to watch this drawing get done, here's the time-lapse:

I spent 8 hours on the pavement today, creating a chalk art drawing for Chalk It Up 2021. I'll have a set of photos up on a more formal project page soon, but here's how the final thing turned out!
It looks small because the square is so large - about 8 feet squared. I wish I could fill in more, but I don't like working on these across multiple days.
Now, it's time to nurse myself back to health. My left hand is tingling and I'm very likely sunburned. So it goes!
August 31 is finally here, and so Drawgust "draws" to a close. Here is my final illustration, a colorful deck platform, partly inspired by my own backyard.
I'm happy to have the time back in the coming days, but also a little sad that I won't have some new work to show each day. I'm hoping I can keep up the sketching/artwork, however - and make some more art that isn't bound to being done in just one day.
Anyway, I hope everyone out there has enjoyed watching me do these. Thanks for taking a look!
Here's a man eating cereal in peace. For now.
This is my thirtieth illustration for Drawgust. Almost done!
Here's a quick little gator for my twenty-ninth Drawgust illustration!
I wanted to do one more complex illustration before closing this Drawgust thing out, and this is it - a colorful forest path.
I had fun working on this drawing, but it took a long time to complete... more than I normally have in a day to work on these. Still good practice, of course! Only three more to go!
I feel like I draw a picture of some random fast food every time I do a project like this, so why not continue that tradition? Here's a set of food from... WackDonald's, I guess?
For my twenty-sixth Drawgust illustration, I created a night scene in a narrow city street. I wanted to experiment with the purple/pink shadows versus the buttery yellow light, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
If I had to change anything, I might have worked on the water and reflections a bit more. It's not bad, though!
I enjoy doing cartoons for my Drawgust illustrations because they're just easier - and I often don't have the time to spend on something super-detailed, so they help in that regard as well.
Still, sometimes I want to do one that's a little more advanced, so today's illustration is a more realistic origami paper crane.
I'm hoping that once this project is over and I have cast aside the time constraints imposed by doing a drawing a day, I can create some work that's a little bit more advanced. Until then, this is probably as close as I'll get!
