#Inktober Day 16: My friend, Dave, mentioned robots and explosions…so this is what happens when the toaster burns a robot’s toast.

#Inktober Day 15: Trying to loosen up doing Internet gesture drawing with this great online tool, Figure Drawing Practice. Of course, it’s not a substitute for the real thing, but this is nice if you’re too busy to make it to those sessions.

#Inktober, Day 11: This is a bit of a cheat. I did the pencil sketch yesterday while my husband and I were having lunch at this wonderful little shop in the Green Lake neighborhood of Seattle called, “The Butcher and the Baker”. I did the inks today so I’m counting it!
Anyway, this place was SO delicious. You can tell there was a lot of care in their dishes and their meats. Highly recommended!

#Inktober, Day 10 (yesterday): My husband and I went to the Woodland Park Zoo yesterday, and I thought it’d be a great chance to get some animal sketching in. My favorite part was hearing all the conversations going on while I drew:
– Both kids and adults were shocked by the tapier’s look and size. Popular kid guesses: “Cow!” “Panda bear!” “Bear?” “Warthog?”
– Another conversation, in one of the many monkey exhibits:
Boy: That monkey’s eating broccoli! At least, he eats his vegetables. He likes broccoli, but I don’t. How can he be my brother?
Mom: I wish you would stop saying that. He’s not your brother.
Boy: But didn’t we come from monkeys?
