    I was so excited to see Slow Motion Crush drummer, Scott Zook, sporting my screaming chicken t-shirt for his latest band promo pic! Scott’s an old friend of mine from way back in middle school when I was doing cartoon parodies of Star Wars and He-Man.

  • Inktober 2018: Week 4

    Inktober 2018: Week 4

    Here are the last of my Inktober illustrations. I had such a great time doing these and am a little bit sorry to see this year’s challenge come to a close. Drawing challenges are a great way to improve as an illustrator, as I learned awhile back when I did my first 365 Drawing Challenge. I’m already looking forward to next year’s Inktober! Until then, here’s a couple of my favorites from week four:

    inktober 2018 week 4: Dracula scorched by the light.

    inktober 2018 week 4: Zombie claws his way out of the grave on a rainy night.

     

    You can see the rest of these in my Inktober 2018 Gallery.

    Happy Halloween! Even as October comes to a close, I still have plenty of Inktober illustrations to share. Here are a couple of favorites from week 3. You can check out the rest in my Inktober 2018 gallery.

    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!

    Inktober 2018: Week 1

    Here are a couple of my favorites from Inktober 2018: Week 1. This marks my first time participating in the yearly Inktober drawing challenge, and so far I am having a real blast! I am sticking with a standard, kid-friendly Halloween theme, working from the daily word prompts compiled for this years’ challenge.  You can learn more about the challenge and its originator, Jake Parker, at inktober.com. Be sure to check out all of my Inktober illustrations in my Inktober 2018 gallery.
