My Art From Inktober 2021 (Part Three)

                                       

                                                       Click here to read part one and part two. 

This is sadly my last Inktober post for 2021, but, I will be doing it again next year, so stay tuned.

                                            Once again, here is the prompt list for Inktober 2021: 

                                                 

                                                    And here are the rest of my drawings:

Day #21 Fuzzy- I interpreted this as having a fuzzy memory. So I drew my character, Horatio, from The Mystery of the Body Thief. Horatio has amnesia, so, I decided to go a little abstract with the design of his fuzzy memories. 

Day #22 Open- I interpreted this as being open to the spirit world. I decided to draw Matilda Moore from Dolls of Wax, Eyes of Glass with a silhouette of ghosts behind her. 

Day #23 Leak- I interpreted this as having magic leak out of a magic lamp. 

                                Day #24 Extinct- I decided to draw a dinosaur. It was very fun to draw. 

                          Day #25 Splat- I decided basically to draw a drawing of an abstract painting. 

#26 Connect- The movie The Mitchells Vs. The Machines was originally called Connect. So I decided to draw the dog from the movie (part of the drawing references a joke that shows up in the movie). 

#27 Spark- A drawing of my character, Riona "Fire," she was the first character that came to mind when I thought about the word "Spark." She can turn back and forth from being a human and a phoenix, so I thought the prompt would fit her. 

#28 Crispy- At first I didn't know what to draw for this prompt, so I looked up the definition of Crispy and one of the descriptions of the word was about bacon. So I decided to draw that. 

#29 Patch- I decided to draw a rag doll. 

I think this doll belongs to one of my characters, but I'm not sure which one. 

So, because of that I'd love to hear your suggestions about which character should own this doll in the comments down below. 😉

#30 Slither-  A drawing of the Norse god, Loki, and the world serpent. 

#31 Risk- This is a drawing of the final chase scene between the Headless Horseman and Ichabod Crane from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. In this drawing Ichabod is going to be taking the risk of crossing the bridge to get away from the horseman.

My Art from Inktober 2021 (Part Two)

You can read part one here 

                                     Greetings Travelers! 

Here is the second part of "My Art from Inktober 2021" series. This is my first year doing Inktober, and I had a lot fun drawing these. 

Also, as a reminder, if you would like to get a question or questions in for part two of the Q&A for my novel, you can ask them here. 

Other than that, let's get on to the post! As I said before in the previous post, this series will be divided up into segments of ten drawings per post, with eleven being the final one. 

                                          Here's the prompt list for this year's Inktober: 

And here are more of my drawings from Inktober:

Day #11 Sour, I decided to draw a Sour Patch Kid candy along with several other candies (some you would probably get from Trick or Treating and others probably not).  

               

             Unlike the other drawings this one did not have a pencil sketch drawn under it, this was entirely done in makers. 

Day #12 Stuck, I decided to draw Rapunzel stuck in her tower. I had several other ideas of what to draw for this prompt, but in the end I decided to draw Rapunzel. 

Day #13 Roof, I drew a house in a silhouette, I decided to make the house look eerie. 

Day #14 Tick, I decided to draw a list with tick marks, and I went the fantastical route making it a Fairy Tale knight's to-do list.

Day #15 Helmet, Here I drew the Greek god, Hermes. He has a very cool looking helmet and I thought that would be perfect for the prompt. 

Day #16 Compass, I decided to draw something "piratey."

Day #17 Collide, I had an idea for a crossover of sorts between the characters Elm (left) and Oceana (right). (these characters are in the same world, just different stories unlike the crossover I drew in Using Polls to Create Art.) Oceana used to be a Naiad and knew Elm, they would practice singing together. Elm and Oceana would try and figure out where the magic of Elm's singing voice came from (since Elm doesn't know...yet), so they were friends, and then Oceana got cursed by the goddess Demeter and got turned into a siren. 

Though it is very hard for them to meet each other again, with Oceana sinking ships and all, I thought it would be cool if their worlds collided reuniting the two of them. 

Day #18 Moon, Here's a drawing of the Greek goddess Artemis, the goddess of the hunt and moon. I thought the prompt "Moon" was fitting for her. Also the character designs for Artemis and Hermes, are from my animation project Pandora's Box. 

Day #19 Loop, I decided to do a yoga pose that reminded me of a "loop." Also the whole setting is based on a memory I had of doing yoga during winter in a warm yoga studio, where it was warm and cozy inside, and really cold outside. This felt really nice to me, so the drawing was based on that. 

I also kept the color palette limited, and used mostly blues, grays, and browns. With a little bit of purple and gold, but not as much. 

Day #20 Sprout, For this I was inspired by "Jack and the Beanstalk".

My Art from Inktober 2021 (Part One)

   I normally don't post two drawing posts in a row, but I recently found out about Inktober, and have been participating in it, and I wanted to share what I have been drawing. If you don't know what Inktober is, here is the link to their official website. 

To me, it's like NaNoWrimo but instead for artists, to use to draw more. I already draw a lot (as you may already know), but I like giving myself challenges. (Hence the reason I made the Using Polls to Create Art series.) So this seemed right up my alley! Also, I wanted to learn how to draw in a different medium with COPIC markers, so I am using Inktober to help me practice using them. 

 I intend to share with you each ten drawings that I draw (with eleven being the last one), so that it will be divided up into segments (for all the thirty-one drawings), so you don't get all thirty-one all at once. 

                                         Here's the prompt list for Inktober this year: 

And here are the first ten drawings of mine (some of them are Halloween-y, but that is because I am very excited for Halloween, so that influenced my drawings)...

Day #1 Crystal. I decided to draw the Crystal from The Dark Crystal. 

The character you see behind the crystal is Kira, she is a Gelfing and one of the movie's protagonists. The hands you see reaching towards the crystal are supposed to be Kira (left) and Jen (Jen being the one holding the crystal shard (right)).  I also decided it would be fun and mystical to add mist around Kira and the crystal.

Day #2  Suit. I drew Oscar Wilde. I don't know why my mind went to Oscar Wilde from the word "suit," but it did. It's probably because he is one of my favorite Gothic writers. I had a bit of trouble drawing his arms, since I was finding it difficult to figure out where it connected.  

Day #3 Vessel, my first thought was a spirit using a human as a vessel for possession.  I feel like I am probably going to (eventually) write a story about this person and spirit. 😉

Day #4 Knot, I decided to draw a Celtic knot. This made me realize how hard drawing Celtic knots is, but I am happy with how it turned out. 

Day #5 Raven, This prompt reminds me very strongly of "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe. 

So I drew something inspired by that. 

Day #6 spirit, This is the same spirit you saw possessing the person earlier, I was inspired by this cover of "Remains of the Day" (from Tim Burton's Corpse Bride) and just decided to delve into her backstory a bit. She was going to get married, but then she died, and possessed the character you see for the prompt Vessel (who was also getting married, and possibly, the ghost could have caused the wedding to happen, so that she could have that experience that she lost.)  Her plan goes as well as you can expect a possession to go...

Day #7 Fan, I wasn't sure what to draw at first but then I decided it would be fun to draw one of my characters holding a fan. I decided to draw Ophelia from The Mystery of the Body Thief fanning herself while she is at ball. This drawing is mixed media, because I used a mix of ink and water color.  

Day #8 Watch, I interpreted this prompt as a verb, as in "being watched." So I drew what could be a mermaid looking at you. This was another mixed media drawing I used the same materials as the one before. (Also this was partly inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Ginny Di's Songs to Drown Sailors To). 

Day #9 Pressure, Crime and Punishment was the first idea that came to my mind, this may be due to the fact that I am reading it right now. All of I could think of was the pressure Raskolnikov put on himself. 

Day #10 Pick, a lock pick. I drew my D&D character Jinx, he is a rogue and knows how to pick locks (and pockets). I had to redraw this one, because I messed up the coloring of the previous one. This also made me realize I should practice on working on foreshortening in figure drawing, since I had difficulty with the arms again.
