Inktober #4

I've been getting really inspired by all of the fantastic sketchbooks that I see other artists do. Today's 15 minute inktober experiment was inspired by Ian McQue.

Coyote Sam, on top of a hill
howled at the moon, before getting his fill
of the countryside, fresh air and trees
he moved to the city, and now pays bridge fees.

Inktober #3

Fire-Crested Chihuahua. Started out with a Chinese-crested, and then he caught on fire, heh.

Flaming Fritzie
likes his dogbones charred
and his nails untrimmed
- in his own backyard.

Inktober #2

Been loving this!  I was really into drawing and inking comics back in high school. Haven't done pen and ink for a while, much less markers.

It was a treat to open up my prismacolors from college and find out that they're all still in good working order. :)

Inktober #1

I've been crunching my face off at work, and subsequently painting dropped to all all time low. I'm late to the party, but will be taking a break from digital and spitpainting to do Inktober.

Aiming for 10 this month!

Spitpaint #36

Topic: Mystical Rock

Oh noes she thought, "I'm in a rut!"
Always drawing the same composition, BUT
This one's in space with an astronaut finding
a magical space rock, shiny and blinding...

Spitpaint #35

Topic: Sky Kings

Oof...this one is mehhhhhhhh.

Spitpaint #34

Topic: Troy the Badass Cop

More like Troy the not-so-badass-totally-out-of-my-comfort-zone-spitpaint. Hurmph, posted anyway, because I said I would.

I am freakin' exhausted. Work crunch has killed my brain and I am full of roast chicken and asparagus. Good night.

Spitpaint #33

Topic: Medusa at a Spa

It's tough when a bad hair day bites back
with fangs 2 inches long and black
With a band-aid pack medley
this time she was ready
and wrestled her 'do back on track.

Spitpaint #32

Topic: Red Dawn

Lots of fun dorking around with random brushes today. Also, it looked more like a sunset until the very end...not sure why?

When RS9-z52 woke up from his nap
ten thousand years had passed, like a snap.
His frigid planet now orbits two suns
and he's learned to like his burgers well done.

Spitpaint #31

Topic: Waterfall Circle

Used a sinkhole swimming spot I used to frequent in Austin as inspiration.

On bright and early Summer's day
Hamilton Pool is where we'd play
waking up at crack of dawn
to beat the traffic, beers in tow
bikinis thrown on and floaties gone
to search for parking, high and low.

River Canyon Sketch

I love water and cliffs, so wanted to do a color study. ~40min

Spitpaint #30

Topic: Wise Old Tree, 30min

There once was a tall willow tree
with quite a collection of bears, you see.
Kids would always stop by
to climb up so high
before forgetting their bears absent-mindedly.

Speedpaint #29

Topic: Hive Queen, 30min

Eh. Played with shapes and silhouettes rather than form today. Turned out pretty muddy.
(Crunch is not conducive to poetry. Even really bad poetry.)
