Inktober 2023 #1: Dream

Martin · 1 year

Well, I wish I had been able to get this done earlier (and with a better idea), but here's my first entry for Inktober 2023!

I'll be following the "official" prompts this year. The prompt for this one was "dream".

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Medium Nozzle, Flicks, and Splatter spray paint brushes for shading, and a little bit of linework with the Syrup brush.

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

For my thirty-first - and last! - illustration for Inktober 2022, I drew a sleepy moon!

Thanks to everyone out there who might've been enjoying my daily work this month. Hope to see you soon with another project!

Inktober 2022 #29 – Snail

Martin · 2 years

My twenty-ninth illustration for Inktober 2022 is accidentally very apt - a slow, slow snail. I barely got this one done/uploaded in time!

This was made in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for lines/colors, and the D'Entrecasteaux, Noise, and Hartz brushes for added texture.

For my twenty-seventh illustration for Inktober 2022, I drew a giant rift in the earth with colorful energy flowing out.

This was made in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Mercury brush for linework/fills, and a bunch of brushes (Hartz, Fat Nozzle, Splatter, and Flicks) for the shading and textures.

For my twenty-sixth illustration for Inktober 2022, I drew a paper airplane!

Not sure why I felt like giving this an 80's Trapper Keeper color palette, but that's where I landed today.

This was made in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Mercury brush for linework/colors, and the Hartz and Decimals brushes for background texture.

My twenty-fifth illustration for Inktober 2022 is a cat burglar (please hold your applause for my incredible wit).

This was made in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, and the Syrup brush for lines/colors. I used the Fat Nozzle, Splatter, and Flicks spray paint brushes, with a little help from the Tarraleah brush, for background texture.

This is my twenty-fourth illustration for Inktober 2022 - a TV dinner for kids.

This was made in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for lines/colors, and the Splatter spray paint and Hartz brushes for background texture.

I freaked out a little while I was working on this one, because I couldn't find my Tarraleah brush. Luckily, it was a small bug in Procreate and I was able to restore it. 😅

I drew this woman for my twenty-third Inktober 2022 illustration - inspired by a minifig on the cover of this year's Lego holiday catalog, and accidentally drawn in a sort of Simpson's-ish style.

This was made in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, and the Syrup brush for linework/colors. I also used the Artist Crayon brush for some texture.
