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! 😺💀

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

I’m GOING to finish Inktober I swear! If it comes in the form of a Borg cube I may not though. 😂

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

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. 🤓🖖

Day 8: Hike

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

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. 👍

Day 11: Snacks 🧛‍♂️🩸🦇

If you follow me then you probably can surprise my recent refrigerator adventures helped inspire this one. 😁

#Inktober #HumanArt #MastoArt #LineaSketch

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!

It isn’t all puppies and rainbows during Inktober, you know. 🔪

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. 😐

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

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. 👻🎃

@gedeonm I believe the line that comes to mind for me is “I got a rock.”
