    Here’s a batch of continuous line illustrations I did as part of my ongoing 52-week drawing challenge. I’ve gotten pretty far behind in posting, but have at least been able to keep up with the actual weekly illustrations. I had started my challenge out with a series of cute bumblebee illustrations but felt I needed a little break from that theme in favor of something a little more experimental.

    I also got around to creating a gallery for all my illustrations completed for the challenge. You can check that out here: 52 Week Drawing Challenge.

    Inktober 2018: Week 2

    So here I am with another week down in this year’s Inktober challenge. I felt like I got into a nice groove with these. It helps that I have been keeping to my Halloween theme for all the official word prompts. My first hang-up so far with that was for the prompt on day 12, “whale.” I have to admit I was completely stumped as to how to stick to my Halloween theme for whale. In the end, I decided to go for a bit of a Charles Addams approach. (You can see my solution for that one here.) So maybe not directly Halloween-themed, but certainly odd (if not potentially quite horror-filled!).

    Below are a few of my personal favorites for Inktober 2018: Week 2. Visit my Inktober 2018 gallery to see them all!

    A Charles Addams-style cartoon of a weary space traveler who unknowingly arrives at…The Wrong Planet! Wrong Planet was a single-page comic I did for a graphic novel class I took while attending VCU. I came across my rough pencils for this when I was organizing my art drawer a few weeks ago and thought it would be worth finishing up. I’m so glad I did! Not only was it a lot of fun, but I’m really happy with how it came out. Since most of the panels are more or less square, I went ahead and broke them up into individual images so I can post them as my first-ever Instagram comic. Below are images of the original pencils I did way back when, along with a recent progress shot of the inking done with a combination of brush and crow quill pen.
