Inktober Day 1 – Fish and Day 2 – Wisp

Hello everyone!

It’s October, and for me, that means it’s another round of tackling Inktober.

Inktober is an annual challenge where you are supposed to draw art in ink. There are no specific rules – you can draw anything. You can use whatever form of ink media – pens, brushes and ink, even markers, but it got to be ink.

How Editing Helps to Enhance Photos

Benches2019

I am usually uncomfortable showing work-in-progress things, but this is essential for my point. Hahaha…

As part of my return to visual media, I have been re-sharpening my photo-editing skills. There are a lot one can learn from the internet now. It also helps when you follow a handful of photographers and film makers on youtube.

In any case, above is a photo of a bunch of benches after a light rain. The top picture is the original, out-of-the-camera image. The bottom is after a bit of editing.

Inktober Day 6 and 7 Husky and Enchanted

Welcome to Inktober 2019 Catch-up edition, where I try my best to cheat, err, find ways to make up for the lost days in Inktober due to various circumstances.

I am way behind on my Inktober drawings… and to make matters worse, I am in a hectic schedule for the remaining days in October. Yay. -_-

Umm… in any case, here I am condensing what I can of the prompts…

Story time. 🙂

When I saw the day 5 prompt “husky”, I first thought of the dog breed. However, I wanted to be creative, plus drawing dogs and animals is not one of my best areas… hahahaha… maybe next year, I’d make a dog ink drawing… but for now, I wanted something easier…

Husky could mean a hoarse voice, or a strong and hefty guy. I was very tempted to go with the hoarse voice… but went the direction of the strong man. I originally thought of drawing The Commander from the webcomic Manly Guys Doing Manly Things – which I am sad to learn has also stopped updating. However, The Commander’s manly physique was too much for me to handle, so that got put on hold.

For the catch-up edition, I took a look at the next day’s prompt, and saw Enchanted.

Hence, I found my next subject for the prompt – the manly man with fairy powers – Jorgen Von Strangle.

Will this be the end of the line for my Inktober 2019?

Well, the month is not yet done, and I am not out for the count yet. It ain’t over ’til the fat lady sings. 🙂

Hmm… what other cliche line can I put up there?Hahaha…

Anyway, that’s all for today…

Inktober 2019 Day 4 Freeze

This is based off a pokemon – Vanillite, an ice-type pokemon that looks like an ice cream cone. Yum.

Well, I did say I will make up for the clearly lazy entry I did for Day 3… hahaha… Ok.

In other news, my browser seems to be sluggishly slow after an update got installed. I probably will have to roll back to an older update. It would seem my hardware is no longer able to handle the current software.

Inktober 2018 Day 1: Poisonous

Inktober-10-2-2018

Completed on October 2, 2018

I’m working off the official prompt this year, to hopefully help me get more work done for Inktober this year.

I had difficulty with this work, mainly because it involved fluid in a glass sphere… Also, it was supposed to have someone looking at the poison, but I could not make the right proportions. I’m very rusty with my drawings.
