My tenth illustration for Inktober 2022 is a faraway jet streaking across the sky.

As usual, this one was created with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil using Procreate. I used the Procreate Pencil brush for the sketch, a modified version of the Mercury brush for lines, and a combination of the Soft Brush and Larapuna brushes for colors/mixing.

Inktober 2022 #9 – Breakfast

Martin · 2 years

My ninth illustration for Inktober 2022 is the remnants of my usual breakfast: a granola bar wrapper.

Created in Procreate on an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil. Used the Procreate Pencil brush to sketch, a modified version of the Technical Pen brush for coloring, and a little bit of the Soft Brush at the end for the shadows and gradients.

Inktober 2022 #7 – Sandwich

Martin · 2 years

My last drawing for the first week of Inktober 2022 is a sandwich!

I drew this without a reference, just to see how well I could do with textures and such. I think it turned out alright, if a bit washed out.

As usual, this was illustrated in Procreate on an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil. I used the Procreate Pencil brush to sketch, a modified version of the Mercury brush for masking and lines, and Quoll, Old Beach, and Sassafras brushes for texture.

Inktober 2022 #6 – Bad Bear

Martin · 2 years

My sixth drawing for Inktober 2022 is a bad bear who just threw open the door!

As usual, this was created in Procreate. I used the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework and shading, and the Clouds and Old Beach brushes for texture.

I was feeling very uninspired for this one. Originally, I wanted to just make a hulking creature being silhouetted against the door, but felt like it didn't look menacing enough once I started going down that route with it. Eventually, I just made it into a bear.

If you watch the time-lapse below, you'll see that I meandered a lot in the middle, experimenting with adding a second, smaller bear hiding to the side. I gave up on that though, because it felt too much like an adult being threatening towards a child. Even though they are bears. Oh well.

There's always tomorrow! 🙃

Inktober 2022 #5 – Tinkering

Martin · 2 years

My fifth illustration for Inktober 2022 is a scientist tinkering with his robot buddy - as the robot looks on.

I always like drawing robots, but I wanted to switch it up a little this time and have a little story in the frame. I still can't make up my mind if the scientist is "mad" or not.

Created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching and the Syrup brush for linework/shading.
