Inktober 2019 – Complete
I know you’re all just about sick of hearing about Inktober already. Here is my final post about it this year, just to wrap things up. I promise. At 29 complete paintings, I didn’t quite finish the challenge. I am really satisfied with the work I put in this year though. Compared to last year,…
Inktober 2019 – Week 5
Here is the final week of Inktober. I had every intension of finishing Inktober this year and I even came close. Tragedy struck my family, however, and a silly little drawing challenge seemed so inconsequential. I am really proud of the progress I’ve made this October. Once I started to use sepia ink, I feel…
Inktober 2019 – Week 4
This challenge is flying by. Only 7 more paintings left and I can take a little break. I’m actually looking forward to going back to my gouache animal paintings. I’ve been looking around at what other people are posting on Instagram and I can’t help but notice how many different ways people interpret the challenge.…
Inktober 2019 – Week 3

Inktober 2019 – Week 2

It has only been three days so far but I’m loving Inktober. This is my second year attempting the challenge. I wasn’t sure if I was going to participate at all, but I’m glad I am. I love using ink. It has to be in my top three all time favorite art supplies. Usually when…
Inktober 2018 – Part 2
So far in this challenge I’ve enjoyed drawing the skeleton creatures the most. I also think they’ve turned out really well. The bugs were also fun to draw despite cockroaches and spiders making my skin crawl. My husband even commented about how surprised he was that I would draw a spider. He knows me…
Inktober 2018 – Part 1
I’m having a lot of fun with Inktober so far this year. Above is my first 10 days of the challenge. I’ve forgotten to draw on three separate occasions so far, but I have tried to stay caught up by doing two drawings in a day here and there. Remembering to do it every…
