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.
If you're curious how this one was made, here's the time-lapse:
This is my fourth illustration for Inktober 2022 - a gangster squid man!
Created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Old Beach and Hartz brushes for background texture.
If you're interested in how this one came together, here's the time-lapse:
My third illustration for Inktober 2022 is a flashlight laying on the ground.
I had slightly higher hopes for this one when I started, but I'm not unhappy with it. If I were to spend more time on it, I'd probably change the perspective of the shadows a bit and add some more lighting to the background.
If you're curious how this one came together, the time-lapse is below!
My second piece for Inktober 2022 is a bunch of pumpkins and gourds falling out of a wagon.

It's October today, and that means another Inktober project. This is the first drawing for the month, and I'm looking forward to getting back into the groove with my iPad Pro and Procreate, which I've been sort of neglecting lately.
I hope you'll join me as I create a new illustration each day of the month!
Oh, and here's the time-lapse for this one, if you'd like to see how I made it:
I was looking through my photos the other day, searching for some paint color images, and I found a picture I took of an alley that I thought might be fun to do as an illustration. So I made this!
This is partly just some general illustration practice, and partly practice for an acrylic painting I want to do later this year. That painting won't be the same subject, but it's good to practice colors and form.
As with other recent illustrations, I used Procreate to make this. Sketched with the Procreate Pencil brush and painted with the Inka brush.
Here's a time-lapse, if you'd like to see how it all came together:
Here's my thirty-first illustration for Drawrch - the last in the series, and fittingly, a very tired-looking me in a self-portrait. It's not my best work, but it's what I did tonight.
For this one I used the Procreate Pencil brush to sketch, and the soft Airbrush for some fades here and there.
I really enjoyed this project, and I learned a lot of stuff. I'll probably write up a blog post about all that tomorrow. Now, it's time for a break!
Here's my thirtieth illustration for Drawrch - only one more to go!
I wanted to spend some more time playing with a rough brush, so once again I've used Procreate's Inka brush for most of the work. I used the Procreate Pencil brush for the sketch, and the soft Airbrush for the background.
Based on a reference photo from SketchDaily, though I had to improvise on the lighting/shadows a bit. The limited color palette made the more complicated shadows of the photo quite hard to reproduce properly. You can see my struggles with it (and how I eventually resolved things) in the time-lapse below!
Here's my twenty-ninth illustration for Drawrch, and I barely made it under the wire with this one!
I had some work to get done this evening, and wasn't ready to start drawing until 10 PM. I though I might do something simple, and once again, I got into the flow, lost track of time, and next thing I knew an hour and a half had passed. I'm happy with the result though!
I sketched this one with the Procreate Pencil brush, then colored it with the Inka brush. I really like the rough edges of Inka - I'll have to play with it more after I'm done with this project.
Reference image came from SketchDaily.

This is my twenty-eighth illustration for Drawrch - almost at the end!
Once again, I used the Procreate Pencil for sketching and the Syrup brush for everyone else. I still need to practice using different line weights, but it's coming more naturally to me now.
For this one, I tried a different lighting technique where most of the character is in shadow and only the edges of him are lit by a backlight. I really like how it turned out!
