#inktober2018

1 Nov
It was fun to do inktober this year in between a conference, preparing for a full week of meetings, during that week and after. I didn’t spend a lot of time on each drawing and wasn’t too ambitious with selection of subjects. But then, the prompt list was a challenge most days, as it shows in many cases. I’ve done several of the drawings in a bar, a restaurant, a train, a hotel room, a plane.

Since I was on the move most of the month, I carried only the essential: I’ve used a small sketchbook again (10×15 cm) and a selection of Uniball pin pen 0.05, Pentel black brushpen, Muji black brushpen, watercolour once and some calligraphy inks once (at home).

#inktober days 26-31

1 Nov
[Inktober: 31 days 31 drawings, following a prompt list.]

Voilà, Inktober 2017 is over. I really enjoyed doing it this year again and will probably do it next year. I was not inspired every day but most days I was. I’m quite proud of most the drawings I made and I hope you liked them as well. (Interestingly some of those I didn’t particularly like were liked/favourited more than I anticipated, and by the same token, a few of those I found outstanding didn’t garner a lot of popularity.)

Day 26: ‘Squeak’. Black and white ink drawing of a cat playing with a mouse, against a circular background of red watercolour.

Day 27: ‘Climb’. Black and grey ink drawing of the silhouette of a woman rock-climbing.

Day 28: ‘Fall’. Grey India ink soft brush pen, black ink pin pen and black ink brush pen drawing of a man falling from a skyscraper. For this one, I had to hold a soft brush pen in each hand so that the dark and light greys would blend better. I don’t know how others do it. After I posted the drawing, Emmanuel nudged me when he realised the sky scraper looked very much like the Tour de Bretagne in Nantes.

Day 29: ‘United’. Grey India ink soft brush pen, black ink pin pen and black ink brush pen drawing of two carps, forming a circle.

Day 30: ‘Found’. Grey India ink soft brush pens and black ink pin pen drawing of a foundry and tiny people. I made a typo in the theme on the drawing, oh well.

Day 31: ‘Mask’. Black ink pin pen and white Posca pen drawing of a man holding a mask.
