Elastic Orbs - Stretch theme for Inktober 2018

I’ve been drawing things for Inktober on and off this month. I also started with the Society of Visual Storytelling online course. Which I found via the Inktober website. It’s an excellent way to learn about the illustration industry and improve skills. The tutors are top notch!

So practising drawing straight lines I made a piece to use for Day 26 prompt - Stretch. Basically a brush that technically is a sponge on a stick. Simples. A high tech fountain pen that guzzles a lot of ink!

Unicorns are Real. “For Realsies?”

This guy glows in the dark and accepts his existence. Day 15 of Inktober 2018. A real Unicorn inking, on a wooden panel with pink UV-fluorescent Molotow ink. That comes out orange in the dark when you shine a black lamp across the surface.

I saw a competition on the Inktober website to win loads of stuff. The Adobe MAX + Inktober Contest. The OCT 15 prompt was LIGHT.

So I though an old cheeky glowing Unicorn would be fitting for this subject.

This creation is for my niece Freya, so I hope she likes it.

So Inktober has started and I’m going to crack on and draw everyday, may post every two days. But wanted to get this one out. My mate Jay sent me a pic of him flipping the bird and said sketch this. So I did a Poisonous version of his pic. I used Kyle Webster’s Marker set of pens on adobe Sketch to create this monster.
