I had a hard time coming up with a visual idea for this Inktober illustration but ended up taking a slightly different route from the previous drawings in the series. It's a little basic, but I still like how it turned out.

The colors are based on some of the tiles on the Azul (board game) box, which was sitting next to me on the table where I was drawing tonight.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Medium Nozzle spray paint brush for texture.

Continuing to work from the "official" prompt list for Inktober 2024, here is my fifth illustration for the prompt "binoculars".

I enjoyed drawing and doing the linework for this one, but I'm not sure if I like how it turned out. I wanted to tell more of a story with the background, but I also sort of liked how wholesome the man's expression is, and didn't want to sully it by making him spy on people or something. 😆

As usual, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Soft air brush for shading and background gradients.

I was getting ready to settle into some video games and then go to sleep and then I realized I hadn't done today's Inktober illustration yet! 😵‍💫

So here's my drawing for today, for the prompt "exotic"!

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Soft airbrush for shading and background glow.

Today's Inktober prompt was "Boots", so naturally I drew a cartoon cat wearing boots. I think I've channeled some of that Ren & Stimpy energy from a couple of weeks ago into this one too.

Here's today's Inktober drawing for the prompt "discover", featuring a man discovering a giant hair in his sandwich.

We've all had this happen before, haven't we? I had a time where I found a particularly long hair in my sandwich. It was a really good sandwich, and I was so sad to have to stop eating it. I never got a sandwich from that restaurant again, and just thinking about it still sort of bums me out.

Anyway, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Hartz brush for background texture.

Here we go again - my first drawing for Inktober 2024! 😎

This year I'll be following the "official" prompt list again, so that's where I'll be sourcing my ideas from, primarily.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching and the Syrup brush for everything else.

Here it is - my last drawing for Inktober 2023! The prompt for this one was "fire", and after really trying to come up with something fun, I landed on this.

I'm almost certain that I've done a dumpster fire illustration for a past project, but I need to get this one done and found a neat way to tie it into this year's Inktober set. Can you find it?

I had a great time doing this project. Thanks to everyone who has been following along throughout - I hope you've enjoyed watching it as much as I have making it. 😄 As always, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup and Inka brushes for linework, and the Hartz brush for background texture.

Here is my drawing for today's Inktober prompt, "rush".

I don't usually use the prompt words in my drawings, but I saw someone else's work where they created an 'R' in a sort of gilded/cloudy look, then added motion lines to it, and it inspired me.

I don't really draw motorcycles often and I hate to draw vehicles in general, so I was challenging myself, especially with the overhead oblique angle. I'm really happy with how the motorcycle and burnout smoke turned out though!

Just one more to go, whew! 😅

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, a modified Mercury brush for linework, the Syrup brush for some small details, and the Medium Nozzle and Fat Nozzle spray paint brushes for shading/texture. I also used the Soft air brush for fading some of the effects.

This is my illustration for today's Inktober prompt, "massive".

I had a pretty busy day today, so I had to power through this one. The shading is a little sub-par in my opinion, but I like how it turned out, and I like the composition of it.

I didn't spend a lot of time working out the proportions of the woman, so hopefully nothing looks too far off. 😅

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Inka brush and Fat Nozzle spray paint brush for background texture.

Here's today's Inktober illustration, for the prompt "sparkle". It's a nice cold glass of water!

I didn't set out to make this one look realistic, and I drew it (mostly) without any references. When I got into doing the lighting and shadows though, I couldn't help myself and ended up doing a lot of little things that I see in my 3D renders. 😅

It probably would have turned out better if I had just kept it simple, but this is just how it turned out.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Inka brush for linework, the Medium Nozzle spray paint brush for shading, and the Flicks and Fat Nozzle spray paint brushes for texture.
