Inktober 2020 - Week 1

Melanie Daigle · 1 Oct 2020, 23:45

What a great idea to make a thread every week! Now we can see everyones lovely creations!
This year I'm creating cute monster characters that will fit into my developing children's book portfolio ️ I'm also posting an accompanying process video with each piece over on my IG https://www.instagram.com/melaniedaigleart/
I'm following the #monstermania2020 prompt list.
Day 1 - Frankenstein's Bride
I imagined the Frankensteins’ daughter trying on her mom’s old wedding dress and wig

Day2 - Wisp (German Timezone so for some a bit early)

Presketched in a Hahnemühle Nostalgie A5 Book and Inked Today with a Raphael8404 Brush and Winsor&Newton Ink

I’ll be making cards this year. Each collection has four designs. This set is “Black bear christmas.” I wasn’t going to stay with the prompts, but I couldn’t help but try and find a way to use fish. So here we go. Yay! I think this card is going to be called “for you.”

This is also my first time committing to Inktober..semi committing Likely will only do a few of them. I'm really lame with traditional ink, so went digital. Some might say, nope. Still lame. But giving it a go, mainly to support Inktober this crazy year.

Didn't know this topic existed!

I had this image of a Polar Bear ice fishing in my mind yesterday (taking plenty of artistic liberties, of course).

I'm pretty pleased with how it came out, though my biggest issue is the placement of the bear's left eye; it makes hi head and/or face look lopsided.
I have a white ink pen, which definitely helped to fix some errors, but I didn't want to use it everywhere (plus, I didn't want to use on the ink on only one drawing!)

This is my first year doing Inktober and I'm going to do my best to get all 31 days in!

Goals for this Inktober (2nd attempt doing the daily prompts) are to become more comfortable with inking using traditional methods, speed up my sketching skills, and learn to accept imperfection. “Just get it done already!”

DAY 1: FISH

Here’s mine probably should have spent more time prepping

This years Inktober just to mix it up a bit I am going to try some new tools. A Noodlers Fountain Pen with their Noodlers black ink and gray alcohol markers.
Good luck to everyone on getting all 31 daily prompts done!

Here's my day 1 Fish. This is my first time doing Inktober, I was going to be really organised and plan ahead but ran out of time so just going to wing it now My goals are to follow the daily prompts and improve my drawing and inking skills.

Inktober day 2: WHISP

Tried this one 2 ways because it's all about learning the ink. Tried with 1) ink wash and 2) dip pen. Things I like about each, just need to learn to combine. My 10yo was my model.

And then there's my daughter's WHISP:

Here's my inked fish. It's of a fishing Lure.
