Inktober: Vacant
Inktober Day 30: “Vacant” I stretched today’s prompt from “vacant” to “vacancy”. Originally, I was intending to draw the dog walking up to a human home—making the move out of a small dog house and into a position as a fully-fledged house dog. But then the second house turned out too small… So now he’s […]
Inktober: Skeletal & Lesson
Catching up after not posting yesterday… Inktober Day 28: “Skeletal” Not much to say about this one… Just Lexington Gray ink and some watered down “whatever was on the palette”. Inktober Day 29: “Lesson” The doodle from a few days ago (for the “onion” prompt) would’ve been perfect for this prompt, too! I had to […]
Inktober: Puzzling & Onion
Catching up after not posting yesterday… Inktober Day 26: “Puzzling” This one went wrong with the middle dog (the EARS!), but I’m sticking with the “no torn-out pages” method. Just do the best you can with the mistakes you make. It’s more about just doing something and getting one day closer to done, at this […]
Inktober: Firefly, Rowdy, Inferno
Catching up after not posting for a few days! Inktober Day 23: “Firefly” This one is brown ink in the Little Fat Man pen, followed by watered-down yellow gouache and whatever was on my palette plus a little Boku-Undo Shadow Black e-sumi watercolor to make the brownish greys and greenish yellow eyes. It’s far from […]
Inktober: Blast & Button
Catching up after not posting yesterday… Inktober Day 21: “Blast” Still not enthused, but also still keeping up with the daily prompts, even though I don’t manage to post daily. Today’s doodled dog might want to put the detonator box (whatever it’s called) a little further away from the tub and other bath products… Inktober […]
Inktober: Arctic & Rivals
Catching up after not posting yesterday… Inktober Day 19: “Arctic” Well, I’ve come to that point in the challenge where I just don’t give a crepe any more. This always happens, sooner or later. I don’t like a prompt, or I’m just not inspired… And even though I usually force myself to “do something”, I’m […]
Inktober: Deal
Inktober Day 18: “Deal” I wasn’t especially inspired by today’s prompt, and that probably shows. But still, a quick dog-themed doodle-a-day it is: Other Doggy Doodles A couple of days ago, I was trying out a brush-tipped fountain pen that I’d filled with Noodler’s Bulletproof Black but hadn’t really done much with, yet. It’s an […]
Inktober: Ornate
Inktober Day 17: “Ornate” Some of the first things that came to mind when I read this prompt were Fabergé eggs and elaborate costumes—like the one Queen Elizabeth I wears in one of her portraits. (Looking it up, I learned that it’s the portrait painted by Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger.) Anyway, I decided to doodle […]
Inktober: Blunder
Inktober Day 15: “Ragged” I did go back and add in the tail and closing quotation marks: Inner Critic has been nagging me about the arms not being the same length, but as with the too-high ears, there’s nothing to be done about it. Cartoony quick doodles won’t be perfect! Inktober Day 16: “Blunder” I […]
Inktober: Trunk & Ragged
Catching up after not posting yesterday… Inktober Day 14: “Trunk” There are about three ways I could think of that you can go with a prompt like “trunk”. I went the “elephant” route. The only problem is that I don’t draw elephants very often. It kind of got away from me, so we ended up […]
