#Inktober Day 18: Yesterday, Karl and I went to The Carlile Room for Seattle Restaurant Week. I’m 50/50 with Tom Douglas restaurants; some have been great, while some I felt were overpriced. I’m happy to say this restaurant was fantastic. The menu offerings were fresh and high quality, and the restaurant had a cozy, cocktail lounge feel decorated with mid-century modern furniture. Definitely worth checking out!
#Inktober Day 17: Karl and I went to the Bothell Beer Festival today. It came with 6 beer samples, but I barely made it to 5. Unfortunately, we came late, and missed out on some of the more seasonal brews. Overall, though, it was a great small event where I discovered more local breweries in the Woodinville/Bothell area. Here were the beers I tried.
#Inktober Day 16: Since my dog went on an adventure today, my husband challenged me to draw what that adventure was.
#Inktober Day 15: I fell in love with them when I first saw them at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta years ago.
#Inktober Day 13: Never stop exploring
#Inktober Day 12: Robot & dog
#Inktober Day 10: On the hunt
#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 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 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!
