Inktober 2018 Day 18 "Dust"

This concept is one I've been thinking about for a while now.

I actually want to paint it as a full piece, in full colour, so I thought Inktober would be a good opportunity for me to sketch it out. :)

My video for days 15 to 17 will be out tonight by the way, a couple days late, but better l...

Inktober 2018 Day 17 "Treasure Chest"

Another simpler one for today, as I needed to spend some time packaging and sending orders. 

I wanted a slightly more uplifting concept for today too, in contrast to yesterday.
I like alternating them it seems, it isn't fully conscious, but I sometimes feels like I need to lighten up my o...

Inktober 2018 Day 16

A simpler composition for today, since I am really very tired.

This actually pretty accurately represents how I'm feeling tonight, ha. Always interesting how that happens. 

I am okay though, I think I am just learning that I took on a bit more than I could handle this month, but I'm sur...

Hi lovely people!

Sorry for my silence the past couple of days, I've been trying to catch up with my one missing Inktober day but I'm struggling to do so. I forgot to post day 14 on here the other day so here it is :

Inktober 2018 Day 13/31

Hi everyone, 

How are you all?

This drawing is a day late, and I didn't manage to catch up today, so hopefully I'll manage yo wrangle two concepts tomorrow. 

I couldn't get any drawing done yesterday as I was at a friend's hen do until late! It was chilled and fun, we had bru...

Inktober 2018 day 10/31

Hi peeps, 

A late update today, as I was only able to start this one a little late in the day, and because I don't seem to understand the concept of logic, I obviously went for a detailed design. 

I might do what I did with yesterday's and give myself the night to think over this o...

Inktober 2018 Day 8/31

A weird one for today because I felt weird. 

I'd actually quite like to paint each conker separately, add one with an eye inside, and make a sticker set out of them. What do you think?

I hope you're all well lovelies, I'm sorry if my content is a bit different this month, I'm doing a bi...

Inktober 2018 Day 3/31

Today was tough, not gonna lie. 

I am struggling a lot with comparing myself to last year and trying to step away from that and focus on doing pieces I love, but the self doubt and fear are really nagging at me and making me quite mentally exhausted. 

I am really enjoying working i...

Inktober 2018 Day 2

Ok, so.
Today DID NOT go to plan, hahaha. 

You may notice that this is not the sketch I posted earlier today, and that is because I had a bit of a anxiety attack about the last one, and botched it royally. So I'll be revisiting the other concept later, but for today, I went for this one i...

Inktober 2018 Day 2 : Pencil Sketch

Hey peeps, 

Here's a sneak peak of today's Inktober drawing, before I ink it. 

I've been working while listening to the Alice Isn't Dead Podcast (made rather difficult by a man leaf blowing under my window all morning. Seriously, how many leaves is there down there...).
The pod...

Inktober 2018 Day 1

OK. I'll admit it. I went a little overboard with this first drawing. XD
But I was EXCITED to get back to ink!

And I had such a stressful week-end working on orders, that I really needed a piece that required some mindless texture and detail while watching a brainless TV show.
So here we go...

Hey peeps.

You might remember the sketch I did of this concept a few months back. I really liked the idea, and was determined to paint it, so here we are!
