Today's Inktober illustration is a simple one - a sunset inspired by a scene from the second season of Foundation (which my wife and I have been enjoying).
This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Inka brush for linework and blocking out shapes, the Medium Nozzle spray paint brush for shading, the Splatter and Flicks spray paint brushes for effects, and the Soft airbrush for a tiny amount of additional shading.

This is my fifth Inktober entry, for the prompt: "map".
I started this one early and still ended up finishing late - go figure! I'm glad I was able to create something a little interesting, though. Especially after doing a treasure map for prompt 3 ("path"). I couldn't believe prompt 5 was "map"! 🙃
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 shading and texture.
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 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"!

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.

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.

It's finally here - my last illustration for 2023's June Toons!
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 Old Beach and Tarraleah brushes for background texture, along with some help from the Splatter spray paint brush and the Soft air brush.
June Toons went by quickly this year and I learned a lot as I went. I'm really happy with how these all turned out, and I'm glad that I have been able to share them with you. Seriously: thanks for viewing, and I hope that you've enjoyed the ride along with me!

My second-to-last illustration for this year's June Toons is a cat slurping some milk (through a straw).
I've been making art for a long time, and so my brain has a set of "rules" that it wants to follow whenever I sit down to make something new. I've been trying to fight that a lot with this project, to varying success.
My favorites have been the drawing like this one: a bit simpler than some of my previous work, but also more fun, wacky, and creative.

My twenty-eighth illustration for June Toons is a Mailman!
This one started off looking a little more abstract, then quickly fell into the gravity of my "style". I wanted it to be stay more stylized, but it's really hard escape old habits, I guess.
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 Soft air brush for shading, and the Decimals brush for extra texture.
Here's my twenty-seventh illustration for June Toons: a turtle on a motor scooter!
I tried to make the shading a little more dramatic on this one, and I think it worked okay. At first I thought the blue shadow might be a bit too bright, but I ended up liking it a lot. This project is almost over, just a few more to go!
