#Inktober Day 30 - Camera

Camera

Oops, I forgot to post this last night.  It was late and I was tired, what can I say.

#Inktober Day 29 Let the eat cake

Let them eat cake

Oh, this is such fun.  Only two more days.....

#inktober Day 28 - Hand Zentangle

Hand Zen Tangle

I will readily admit, I need MUCH more practice on hands especially when I try to draw them Free hand (no pun intended).  I also feel tangle challenged, so I wanted to give them a chance also.  It was fun to think of this and give it a go.

I must say that Inktober has given me an opportunity to really try new things and have fun.  November will be the NANOJOUMO Challenge. I cannot wait to continue to stretch.

#Inktober Day 27 - Friends in a Tree

Friends in a Tree

Used a pen with a .025 nib today, very small, but I really like it for delicate work.  The pen writes really well too.

Until tomorrow.....

#Inktober Day 26 - Lighthouse

Lighthouse

I love the look of the lighthouse and wanted to draw one.  This month has been a month of adventure and trying new things.

until tomorrow.....

#inktober Day 25

Some of my fave tools

Drawing some of my favorite tools was a great adventure.  The POSCA marker will write on nearly anything.  Sakura pens especially white and black are wonderful for detailing.  The Neocolor II's are wonderful for watercolor painting especially when doing Mixed media art.  Tombow watercolor markers last FOREVER.  The set I have is nearly 15 years old and only a few have dried up, the remainder are still yummy and juicy.

Until tomorrow

#Inktober Day 24 - Rose

Rose

I am learning so much from this challenge, the merits of practicing my art in some way everyday; attempting to draw things that you are definitely uncomfortable with and just having fun with it.

Never too old to learn.  I think I am going to participate in more challenges.

Until tomorrow

#Inktober Day 23 - Butterfly

#Inktober Day 22 - Desert Landscape

Cactus Scene - Desert

Added a little color to the flowers on the top of the Cacti because it just made sense to me.  I am loving these little vignettes.

Until tomorrow

#Inktober Day 21

Sunflowers

Drawing these Sunflowers was a lot of fun.  I love flowers and want to perfect sketching them.

Until tomorrow.

#Inktober Day 20 Feathers

Feathers

Day 20, woohoo.  This is really getting to be inspiring for me.  I have only drawn feathers once before so it was fun to see what I could come up with without looking at an inspiration photo.  Time to think about what I will try tomorrow.

#Inktober Day 19 - House Plants

House Plants

19 days, wow...

#Inktober Day 18 - Mr. Teddye

Mr. Teddye

I learned to give a horizon line so that the image does not appear to be floating in the air.

#Inktober Day 17 Glass and Bottle

Glass and Bottle

Day 17 of #Inktober, this is getting to be really a learning experience.  I am trying things I have never done before.  Today it is making shadows and texture by using cross hatching with a black fountain pen.  I love my little book.  When October is over, I will put it away until next year's challenge.  However, I will not stop these little drawings.  This is really giving me diversity.

Until tomorrow.....

#Inktober Day 16

Day 16 Apple

Wow, day 16.  Keeping it simple is harder than I thought.

#Inktober Days 12 to 14

I have had a few busy days.  Day 12 was drawn on the Bus as I went to church.  So I am posting three days in this blog post.

Day 12 Tulips

Day 13 Owls

Day 14 City Scape

Day 14 is go rogue Friday, so no prompt.  I really like drawing cityscapes.  So far I have made through 14 days of Inktober taking it one day at a time.  It has really been fun,
