Inktober 18 MISFIT
Inktober 13: Ash
Inktober 14: Overgrown
Inktober 15: Legend
I am happy to be able to say that I m still going strong with inktober even though some prompts are getting really challenging.
Inktober 10 Snow. My daughters are enthusiastic snowboarders so I didn’t have a shortage on action shots to choose from. I quite like this one for its typical snowboard posture. Ink wash and prera fountain pen in Stillman and birn sketchbook.
Inktober 11. Pattern. The best patterns anre always found in nature as seen in this cabbage. Lamy safari fountain pen and inkwash.
Inktober 12. Dragon. I was totoally dumbstruk wih the prompt dragon and this poor fellow is the result of my struggle. Prera fountain pen and inkwash.
I am really enjoying doing these inksketches. If only now I can start thinking outside the box..
Inktober7: Nibpen and wash in Stillman and birn sketchbook.
“Enchantée, dlighted to make your acquintance”.
Inktober 8: Frail. Collage, ink and nibpen in Stillman and birn sketchbook.
Two chicks
Inktober 9: Swing. Brushpen in Stillman and birn sketchbook.
Tee-off.
The next three inktober contributions. I am still finding it difficult. It is as though my originality has dried up. I think a good idea would be to continue doing inktober drawings until the end of the year. By then I should at least have found some zing.
Inktober 4: Build. Ink and pen in stillman and birn sketchbook.
This wheelbarrow has seen better days, but it can still get the job done.
Inktober 5. Freeze. Ink and nib pen in stillman and birn sketchbook.
This is the African penguin, commonly known as the Jackass penguin.
Inktober 6. Husky.Ink and wash in Stillman and birn sketchbook.
I couldn’t come up with my own reference for a husky dog, so our German shepherd was the next best thing.
I took the day off and went galavaning. Had coffe and cake and tea, bought a Napoleon chair and a plant. And inbetween I did something useful like a sketch.
Somewhere I’ve lost my burning desire to sketch. Apart from me feeling it, the sketches also clearly show it. They are dull and lifeless. It could be that I have started doing a lot of my first love which is oils. But I do want to sketch, there are so much around to capture in a sketch! So, the question: will that enthusiasm to sketch return if I just keep going?
