Day 19: Plump

Time-lapse process for Day 19: Plump.
A few things about this one:
- Really wasn’t jazzed to do it originally
- Hated it almost all the way up to the end
- Feel it came out kinda neat
- Crosshatching detail totally saved it
- Remind me not to do this style of drawing again if I’m not getting paid to do it 😜
Managed to keep it to under an hour. Somehow. No sketching, just drawing. Totally outside my comfort zone but it turned out kind of neat. ❄️

Day 21: Chains

The color palette and the grooves on the record made this one pretty fun to draw. 🎶🎵🤓
Day 22: Scratchy
Time-lapse process for Day 22: Scratchy
Sometimes the biggest decision for each Inktober drawing is how to color/style it. I considered going all out color-wise for this one but scales that back to just a few colors and I think it turned out much better for it.

I do love a good cross section. I also see the light at the end of the Inktober tunnel. 😂
Day 24: Shallow

I made this one a lot harder than it had to be but it was still quite fun. #Inktober #LineaSketch
The next twelve days of #Inktober. This time around I have a clear favorite - Day 15: Dagger. Pixel pushing Day 14: Castle was also very fun. Only a few days left! #LineaSketch
Kudos to you if you get this one. Also, congrats! We’re both old. 🫠
Day 25: Dangerous
Time-lapse process for Day 25: Dangerous.
This was me almost a year ago and I have no regrets what-so-ever.
Day 26: Remove
Getting near the end so I figured I would go all-out. Plus it’s #Caturday! 😺💀
Day 27: Beast

I had *so much* trouble with that ball of string… 🙀

Day 28: Sparkle
I’m GOING to finish Inktober I swear! If it comes in the form of a Borg cube I may not though. 😂
Day 29: Massive
Time-lapse process for Day 29: Massive. #Inktober #LineaSketch
Time-lapse process for Day 30: Rush. #Inktober #LineaSketch
Getting a (small) leg up on this year’s #Inktober. Got the first three days sketched and the first one inked. Toying with the idea of brainstorming and sketching them ALL first then inking them as I go. That probably won’t pan out but it’s fun to dream.
3… 2… 1… BLAST OFF! Time once again to push myself creatively during Inktober. Hopefully I’ll make it through the entire month. I can’t wait to see what you all create. This is going to be fun!

I took my time coloring this one and I think it paid off. Love how the loot turned out in particular. 💎 #Inktober #HumanArt #MastoArt #LineaSketch

Day 4: Exotic
Time-lapse process for Day 4: Exotic.
It only took me three (long) attempts to get the tiki mouth right. Went from Jason Voorhees to Bender to final. Also debated leaving the whole thing uncolored but it’s hard sometimes to stop myself. 🤦♂️ #Inktober #HumanArt #MastoArt #LineaSketch
Time-lapse process for Day 5: Binoculars
I could’ve used Linea’s perfect geometric ZipShapes to create his eyes, the dial, the side of his head and so on but I wanted it to have that slight hand-drawn, imperfect feel. Freehanding circles and curves still takes a lot of practice to get right but I also enjoy the challenge. #Inktober #HumanArt #MastoArt #LineaSketch
Day 6: Trek
It’s impossible to overstate how much #StarTrek means to me. I’ve enjoyed it all of my life –It’s molded me as a human being, allowed me to meet wonderful like-minded people and helped pull me through some of the darker times in my life. I cannot image, nor would I want to, a world where Gene Roddenberry had not created Star Trek.
I enjoyed every moment of drawing today’s Inktober, even the hand-lettering Microgramma. 🤓🖖
Time-lapse process for Day 7: Passport
Time-lapse for Day 8: Hike.
@Batz and I watch The Price Is Right almost every night and there are some games we just love like Plink-O, The Dice Game, Safe Crackers and of course Cliffhangers.
Thanks to @leebennett for supplying the iconic yodel soundtrack for this one, it wouldn’t be the same without it! 🏔️
It’s a star! It’s a star! So Janet got its autograph!
Day 9: Sun
The little Mars rover that could. 🥹
Day 10: Nomadic

Time-lapse process for Day 9: Nomadic
All the Mars rovers are amazing. I’ve had a special place in my heart for Viking since Carl Sagan’s Cosmos as a kid. I loved Carl, but Sojourner is my absolute favorite.
It was the first mobile rover and oh so adorable. It didn’t travel far but boy it sparked my imagination. Figuring out the color palette for this Inktober was tricky but happy with/ how it turned out. 👍

Time-lapse process for Day 11: Snacks
If you follow me then you probably can surprise my recent refrigerator adventures helped inspire this one. 😁
Time-lapse process for Day 12: Remote
The first twelve days of Inktober. It’s hard for me to pick a favorite but I think it gotta go with Day 10: Nomadic. Hope you’ve enjoyed it so far. On we go!

Day 13: Horizon
It isn’t all puppies and rainbows during Inktober, you know. 🔪
Day 14: Roam
Time-lapse process for Day 14: Roam
The head start I gave myself for this year’s #Inktober is officially gone. Though I’ve got it sketched, I’ll be drawing tomorrow’s entry on the day. Suppose I should be happy I got half way through the month ahead of the game but still. 😐
Day 15: eWorld Guidebook
#Inktober #eWorld #HumanArt #iPadPro #ApplePencil #LineaSketch
Time-lapse process for Day 15: Guidebook.
I love trying to emulate the style of Apple’s eWorld social network. Everything is so vibrant and the shapes are really forgiving but there’s a quality about it that if you don’t get just right, it def feels wrong. I think I pulled it off here tho.
This one ended up being much more fun than I thought it would be given the boring prompt. Yay!

Day 16: Grungy
#Inktober #Peanuts #Halloween #HumanArt #iPadPro #ApplePencil #LineaSketch
Time-lapse process for Day 16: Grungy
I think many artists enjoy trying to emulate their favorite creators. I get a great deal of joy from looking at work I admire and trying to figure out what makes it so amazing.
Being able to replicate the charming work of Charles Shultz is one small example. The simple, sketchy line work, the amazing colors and even the shadows cast by the animation cells. This was a fun one. 👻🎃
Time-lapse process for Day 17: Journal
Struggled with a bunch of stuff here including her face. I spent maybe 3 hours on this one start to finish. Time-lapse makes it look effortless, and to some talented folks this would be a cake walk, but it wasn’t for me. Still it was fun to draw and I’m amazed I enjoyed it at all considering the utterly boring prompt of ‘Journal’. 😐

Day 18: Drive
Time-lapse process for Day 18: Drive
I like to think I’m not a one trick pony. Sketches like this one really help me get outside my comfort zone and prove it. I knew exactly what I wanted to draw but I wasn’t sure how (or even if) I was gonna be able to pull it off.
The trick is to take things one step at a time and try not to get discouraged. This one could’ve been better but it’s pretty much how I saw it in my head and that’s what matters.
Time-lapse process for Day 19: Ridge
Didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted but still happy overall. Just wish it was a bit more luminous . 🤷♂️
#Inktober #HumanArt #LineaSketch
Marty@gedeonm Nice job. I like how the lighting on the torch turned out, and overall great idea.
A. Lee Bennett Jr.@gedeonm Unexpected interpretation of the prompt. Love it.
@gedeonm BUAHAHA that’s awesome!
Chancerubbage@gedeonm can this be converted to terabytes? I have an idea about what a terabyte can hold.
I used to have an idea about what a gigabyte of uncompressed 16 bit mono audio could hold, but that sorta softened in to how many stereo minutes a CD could hold
@Chancerubbage Perhaps but not by me. Me and math don’t get along. This sounds like the kind of geeky equation that @bigzaphod lives for however. 😅
@Chancerubbage @bigzaphod Okay, I asked ChatGPT (seemed an appropriate use of it) and the answer is attached.
I ask Wolfram Alpha real world questions involving math- they have been honing fact based logical conversion of language parsing for some time. More trustworthy than a statistical correlation sieve of a large language model, and if they misunderstand you, you know immediately.
I forget the answer already, it is lost in the nooks and crannies of this thread, but, maybe it matches?
100,000 terabytes.
100,000 terabytes= 100 petabytes= 0.1 exabytes

Monte Freeman@gedeonm I believe the line that comes to mind for me is “I got a rock.”
@gedeonm LOL, I *almost* drew a "grunge rocker" in Peanuts style for this one, but changed my mind at the last minute. 😆
Nice job!
@gedeonm Aww dang it! You beat me to it. I was part way through finishing my Pigpen drawing (sans ghost sheet) when I saw yours. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ LOL
Chris Gervais 🎸🥁💻@gedeonm I love this. I vividly remember eWorld and the UX aesthetic was so warm and friendly. That is was just a rebadged AOL client (itself a rebadged AppleLink) didn’t matter. I was definitely sad to see it go.
@chrisgervais Thank you!
Chris Silverman 🌻@gedeonm You really nailed the eWorld aesthetic; I would have thought of that immediately even if you hadn't referenced it. Lovely work.
@csilverman Thank you so much!
@csilverman BTW I love your work. A truly unique feel, masterful use of color. Your take on Snacks made me chuckle. 👍
Shawn King@gedeonm @csilverman Same here! LOVE his work! ❤️
@gedeonm Thanks so much! I like putting my own spin on these where I can.
Aaron@gedeonm Awww, eWorld! I never used the service but have fond memories of the UI art I frequently came across.
Zlasha@gedeonm Creepy and awesome!
@gedeonm I swear this idea TOTALLY came to mind first for today’s prompt. LOVE the song. I just had no earthly clue how to depict it with my skill. But I still went with a Disney-themed idea!
@leebennett Ha! That’s GREAT! Horizons was one of my all-time favorite attractions at EPCOT. Boy I sure miss it and many of the others. Great job!!
@gedeonm Mine too. Such a shame how it languished to the point they had to demolish it.
David Nelson
David Senate@gedeonm so poetic. I love it.
Ronnie@gedeonm Five and seven are my favorites.
@Ronnie yeah, I like seven a lot. I wasn’t expecting to, but I really like how soft and friendly it turned out. Thank you!
Simon Harper@gedeonm Nomadic for me too. Perfect subject matter.
BillSaysThis@gedeonm That is perfect!
