#Inktober Day 10: On the hunt
Inktober 2015: Day 9
#Inktober Day 9: My train of thought wandered from the hilarious meme of the otter saying “Good day!” to a stuffy, Victorian triceratops saying it.
Inktober 2015: Day 7 and 8
#Inktober Day 7 and 8: For the online drawing class I’m taking, Gesture Drawing with Alex Woo, I have to practice drawing an animal in preparation for next week’s lesson. I figured Newton would be the perfect subject!
I’m really enjoying my online Schoolism subscription. They’re self-taught, learn-at-your-own-pace classes with really great lectures, and affordable to boot! I went to Schoolism’s live gesture drawing workshop in Vancouver a couple years back, and their online class version is more in-depth. Even though you can’t get personalized critiques with the Schoolism online class subscription, you can view other students’ critiques from previous classes. I highly recommend the online class subscription program if you’re a busy person, but want to learn new things that will help you improve on your art.
Inktober 2015: Day 1-6
#Inktober Days 1-6: It’s that time of year, Inktober! I had an unusual challenge for the beginning of this month: I would be on vacation/traveling during the first 6 days of Inktober. Similar to exercising while on vacation, it was a challenge for me to keep up drawing daily. However, going to a new locale is inspiring in itself, and I never ran out of subjects to draw. Key West is a nice change of pace from Seattle. Now that I’m back from my cross-country trip, here are the drawings for October 1-6!
Inktober 2014: Day 31
#inktober Day 31 (Last Day!): My middle sister owns a very sociable cat named Kali. This is what happens when Kali takes a selfie. Special thanks to Karl for helping me come up with the caption and username.
This marks the end of Inktober for me. This has been a great learning experience for me not only in terms of time management, materials, and technique, but also in ways of sharing my work. I was initially hesitant to post these sketches to social media in fear of spamming my friends and family, but I’m glad I didn’t. It was informative to see which drawings you found appealing and responded to. Thanks for following along, and I’ll be sure to continue drawing and sharing them with you! Happy Halloween! 🙂
Inktober 2014: Day 30
#Inktober Day 30: I dreamt that a spider stole my bananas.
Inktober 2014: Day 29
#Inktober Day 29: My youngest sister, Lauren, is a marine biologist currently working in Costa Rica with the sea turtle preservation efforts there. She was describing how one night there were these phosphorescent plankton(?) in the water that illuminated her and the sea turtle next to her. Inking got too heavy handed…oh well.
Inktober 2014: Day 28
#Inktober Day 28: Karl and I have gone to Ma’ono before for brunch with friends, so we decided to check out their dinner offerings during Seattle Restaurant Week. Definitely did not disappoint!
Inktober 2014: Day 27
#Inktober Day 27: This is a quote referenced in Austin Kleon’s book, “Show Your Work” that remained with me after finishing the book. It’s a great reminder that everything doesn’t have to be right or good on the first try. When you have your “bad work” days, find solace in the fact that you chose to make something instead of nothing.
