This was a tough one. I don't like the prompt, and I've been stupid busy with work today, so I wasn't able to think about this much before sitting down and doing it. Not how I like to handle my Inktober drawings.

Originally, I thought I might just do something abstract but decided at the last minute to try something more grounded, but just a little rough around the edges. It's not a bad idea, per se, but I feel like it needed a lot more time in the oven to bake. You can see how I struggle with the contrast, motion, and the details of the plane/flight trails towards the end.

They can't all be a massive success of course, but it still feels bad. Anyway, another one done - hopefully I have more time tomorrow (and maybe I can tackle it earlier!

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 painting, and the Medium Nozzle and Splatter spray paint brushes for texture.

This is only my third illustration for Inktober 2023 and I can barely get them done during the day - yikes!

But I did get it done, so here it is - this one for the prompt "path"!

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 blocking out shapes, the Flicks and Splatter spray paint brushes for shading and texture, and the Soft air brush for effects.

Today's Inktober prompt is "Spiders", and I spent all day thinking about what I wanted to do. Originally, I settled on just doing a web, but then when I sat down to draw I felt like doing a cartoon, and this popped into my head. I'm really happy with how the guy's expression turned out, and the overall composition!

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, the Medium Nozzle spray paint brush for shading/texture, and a small assist from the Soft airbrush for masking.
