My second illustration for Inktober 2021, this one for the prompt, "suit".
I wanted this one to be a close-up of the zipper, with some other details visible, but not very descriptive, to give it a little bit of mystery. I am enjoying working in black and white again for my digital inking.
You can watch the time-lapse of this one being made here:
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:
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!
