I am back with another Inktober series! This year is my second year doing Inktober, I did it for the first time last year. Continuing the theme of last year, I will be dividing the series into three parts-- 10 drawings for each part, and then 11 in the final post. If you wish to check out my Inktober posts from 2021, you can check them out here: part 1, part 2, and part 3.
Also, as a reminder, I am doing a Q&A on this blog for novel. If you wish to leave questions for the second part of the Q&A (if you haven't already) you can do so here. But back to this post, let's get started with the drawings:
The Official Prompt list for Inktober:
Day #3 Bat, I drew an (elvish) vampire, since that was the first thing that came to mind. She has a tattoo/face-paint of a bat on her left cheek, and I gave her red eyes.
Day #5 Flame, Since Karleon the god of Mischief gives his devotees blue fire magic (along with sometimes the gift of prophecy, but that will be talked about later), I thought it would be fitting to draw him.
Day #6 Bouquet, This drawing was inspired by a John William Waterhouse painting "Gather Ye Rosebuds While You May (1908)". I took the life drawing approach and only drew the lower part of the body (not the face), so that I could focus on the hands.
Day #7 Trip, This reminded me of my characters traveling in my novel, Becoming the Body Thief. So, I drew something inspired by that. Since the writing on the sign got a little messed up, I'll tell you what it says. It says "The Woodland Tavern." There is an also an altar to a god off to the side with coin offerings from travelers.
Day #8 Match, The first thing that came to mind was lighting a match. So, I decided to draw that along with a candle.
Day #9 Nest, It's been a while since I did a drawing of a bird! So, I decided to draw a bird sitting in its nest.
Day #10 Crabby, For this I thought I would reference the mermaid theme from earlier, and draw a mermaid sitting with a crab. I really like how it turned out.

I love gargoyles! And the idea of an elvish vampire is so fascinating- I mean, they're already long lived, and have all those ethereal qualities, and then add monstrous undead to the list? :)
ReplyDeleteThe path through the wood with a travelers sign is cool too.
Thank you, Greg. :) I agree that an elvish vampire would be really fun to think about. I might end up exploring that idea more in a story sometime.
DeleteThank you, it was fun to draw.

I've been aware of Inktober for a few years now, but have never participated. It seems like such a huge undertaking, sort of like doing the A-Z Challenge (which I've never done either). Who knows, maybe next year? I like all your drawings so far for the various prompts. I think my faves are #3 (bat), #5 (flame) and #8 (match).
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debra.💙

These are great for the prompts :-D
ReplyDeleteI remember a few years ago a few of the nail art girls did Inktober on their blogs and that was fun too.
Thank you, Ananka.💙

Wow, these are fantastic! I wish I was able to draw like you are. That vampire picture (inspired by the bat prompt) is so great. You did a wonderful job <3
ReplyDeletethe creation of beauty is art.
Thank you so much. 💙

The idea of Inktober sounds good but I haven't done it before. Do you use markers or certain type of ink pens for your drawings?
ReplyDeleteI wish I could be as productive as you. I like your mermaids.
Have a lovely day.
Thank you. :) I use Fanerfun art markers (which is what the brand of COPIC Markers I'm using is called) for my art, and sometimes watercolors. :D
DeleteThank you, the mermaids were fun to draw. And I hope you have a lovely day, too,
