Faux Inktober Sketches

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

HI,EVERYONE! I've been working on some sketches for Faux Inktober. I've attached the sketches I've done so far. I still have a long way to go. I'm targeting 12 illustrations to make into a short book but I'm happy if I can even complete 8 given how complex my plan is. I tried to keep my illustrations as simple as possible so that I can finish them in what little time I have. I budget about 2 days for the smaller illustrations and 4 days for the double spread ones.

If you've made sketches and want to share them, feel free to post them in this thread. I look forward to all of you projects this Inktober. Happy creating!

P.S. I copied @Braden-Hallett 's pointy cliff/ridge coz it's awesome and I can't think of a better background element. I hope it's ok you @Braden-Hallett Thanks

I've started some color comps

Yaaaaaasssss! Gentle rolling hills are for wussies! Cliffs and ridges or nothing

Love the penguins by the way. They remind me a little of Gunter from Adventure Time!

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@Braden-Hallett they are! i also stole my penguin directly from Adventure Time.

@Nyrryl-Cadiz Thanks for sharing your sketches! I don't think I will have time to get into Inktober this year but seeing other people laying out such lovely pieces/concepts is making me think I could probably burn the candle at both ends at little (more) and do at least a few!

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@mamadraw go for it! ️ I’d love to see your work. You can keep your pieces simple enough so that it won’t take you a lot of time to complete. Maybe you can make a piece every other day.

These are very cute! I love the kids building the penguin snowman and the sliding and the penguins and candy canes in the snow! I basically love everything LoL . Extremely cute

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@Coley thanks! I’m really happy you like it. Are also doing Inktober this year?

@Nyrryl-Cadiz This looks like it is going to be quite the project! It's looking so cute. I really like the one with a dragon, pegasus, and the castle I can't wait to see your progress with these pieces.

[Coley]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz I don’t think so, I wanted to but am busy with a new job and I also think I need to just sketch and let imagination wander for a while, I’m sometimes spending way too long on prompts and comparing my work to others....in a way that makes me want to constantly change my style lol. I think I need to get a little more offline and a little more just responding to whatever I happen to throw on the page for a while.

[djlambson]

@Coley I hear you..but whatever you do, don't change your style. Your work is great.
