Ged MaheuxJourney of 1,000 miles and all that. This will be my first Inktober on Mastodon. Hope you enjoy the posts! ✍️💕👍
Kicking it off with Day 1: Dream.
This one was fun! A smidge of Morticia, a dash of Aracnia, and a pinch of the Queen of Hearts. 🕷️
Day 2: Spiders
Time-lapse process for Day 3: Path
I never did learn to spell! Wut a GOOD BOI!! 🐶
Day 4: Dodge… erm… DOGE!

Day 5: Map
Time-lapse process for Day 5: Map.
Timo HetzelThis is one of those drawings I could spend days on getting it just so. Really enjoyed creating this one. 🥰🧸⭐️
Day 6: Golden
Time-lapse process for Day 6: Golden
I felt like a drip drawing this one, that’s for sure. So much trial and error. 🤷♂️🐠
Day 7: Drip
Time-lapse process for Day 8: Toad
I wish we had bouncy castles when I was a kid! I only got to play in them when the carnival came to town and…. eeew! 😄
Day 9: Bounce
Time-lapse process for Day 9: Bounce. About 2.5 hours of sketching, inking and coloring reduced to just a minute. 🤣 The coloring part was *much* more fun than the sketching. #Inktober #LineaSketch
Like Mr. Peanut but Mr. Cookie. 🧐 - Mr. Techbro Jerkwad Cookie.
Day 10: Fortune
Time-lapse process for Day 10: Fortune. This one took 1/10th the amount of time to sketch and ink than yesterday’s Bounce did. Thankful for that! #Inktober #LineaSketch

Day 11: Wander 🖖
Time-lapse process for Day 11: Wander. This one came effortlessly, really. Knew exactly what I wanted to create and how I was going to draw it. 🖖 #Inktober #StarTrek #LineaSketch
Struggled with the expression but I think I got it in the end! 🌶️🔥🥵
Day 12: Spicey
Time-lapse process for Day 12: Spicey. #Inktober #LineaSketch
The first 12 days of #Inktober. Hard to pick a favorite but it may be Day 2: Spiders or Day 9: Bounce. Onward we go! #LineaSketch

A. Lee Bennett Jr.@gedeonm Boy we sure went opposite directions on today’s prompt, eh? LOL
@leebennett hehehehe 😆
Aday
Wednesday Dessauerdamn. Why didn’t I think of this? My hat is off to you @gedeonm.
@wednesday Aaaw thanks! I LOVE your Toad. Man that’s sooooo good!
@gedeonm 11 is hands down favorite!
Paul Carroll@gedeonm As someone that only draws in one color in Linea, its really impressive to see what’s possible color-wise 🙌
Aaron@gedeonm I love #10 :)
Uli Kusterer (Not a kitteh)@gedeonm Are these all app icons? 😍
@uliwitness I drew last year’s Inktober all as app icons but this year I’m giving myself more permission to break the borders and experiment as I go along. But yes, they are all envisioned as iOS App Icons basically.

Christopher Griffiths@gedeonm That’s fantastic!
Simon Harper@gedeonm awesomely done Ged
@simonharper Hey, thanks! Truly.
Bryan Duke@gedeonm Netrek revival please?
ahakim@gedeonm my favorite episode.
Ste Grainer@gedeonm I absolutely adore watching your process vids for these!
@stegrainer Thanks for saying so! I honestly wasn’t sure if people would care to see them but it seems folks do. Appreciate you reaching out. 🥰🖖
Steven Holland@gedeonm LOLOL okay that's a stretch nearly to cheat, but I love it.
Time lapse went too fast. How did you get that repeating background line pattern. I know you didn't draw every single line by hand. I assume you did a few and copy/pasted them together, but I don't see any seams.
@leebennett It’s actually a new feature in Linea we’re currently developing - Layer Textures. Seamless textures you can sketch or paint right into your drawing. Gonna be great!
CTD@gedeonm heh. That prompt was challenging. Well dodged.
@gedeonm Watching your drawing time-lapse videos are like watching magic shows!
@gedeonm That’s really cool to watch, and fun to see how you handle the shading and such. I wish the capture included how you handle juggling the layers—I’d love to see what you do there.
@cjgyt Generally I merge down similar types of layers into categories like outlines, base color, shadows and highlights. Leaving one layer as the “working” layer. When I’m done with that one I merge it into the appropriate category. Not always but that’s how I’ve grown to work with Linea.
@gedeonm I appreciate the insight! I sometimes wish Linea had more layers, but there’s something to be said for having to keep things very organized and have a disciplined approach.
@cjgyt Yeah, honestly we’re not trying to be Procreate. Linea is a quick sketching and ideation app and keeping it simple is a big part of that approach.
