ONE. MORE. TO. GO. 😱

Day 30: Rush

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. 🤓🖖

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

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. 👍

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

#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!

Day 13: Horizon

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

Day 14: Roam

#Inktober #HumanArt #MastoArt #LineaSketch

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!

How’d you know it was me?

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. 👻🎃

#Inktober #Peanuts #Halloween #HumanArt #LineaSketch

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’. 😐

“I have an ultimate storage capacity of 800 quadrillion bits.”

Day 18: Drive

#Inktober #StarTrek #HumanArt #LineaSketch

@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.

@gedeonm @bigzaphod

100,000 terabytes.
