Hi there! I hope you are all doing well!
This is my first time entering the monthly contest! Everyone's entries are sooo good
Here is my entry

Happy Halloween everyone!!
I wasn't sure I was going to be able to fit this one in with inktober and building a website, but I did it!
I wanted to do a very limited colour palette for this one, and I had so much fun making textures ️
All your pieces look amazing! If you celebrate Halloween tonight have fun and stay safe!

For Inktober Day 4 we have the scariest littlest vampire there ever was!

Hi! Here is my entry for this month I wanted to try and make a few spot illustrations. Not perfect but it was fun! I inked them on watercolour paper and added the text in photoshop. Everyone's entries are sooo good! Good luck to you all!
Now back to Inktober prep

Day 7 and 8

Day 11 and 12! Also, Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!!

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

Inktober Day 2 we have a cute little baby Oni sharing his candy apple with his best friend

Day 3 - This ball of fluff just wants to fit in with the cool cats!

Little werewolf for day 6

@Nyrryl-Cadiz Thank you! ️

Day 9

• How often are you planning to participate (daily, weekly, etc)?

I am posting a new character illustration, along with a process video (IGTV), daily on my social media platforms.

• What are you using to guide your drawings (such as an overarching theme and/or the prompts list)? Give details.

I am following a prompt list created by @odnatamyara and @soniastegemann over on Instagram called Monster Mania. Every day’s prompt is a new monster to draw!

• When are you planning to make time to do your ink drawings?

In previous years I have failed doing all 31 days of inktober! This year I vowed it would be different! I started sketching and planning in early September. I even went so far as to concept out all 31 days and scrap them to start over. Instead of the complex ideas I originally had, I decided to create simple and appealing characters to expand my portfolio. In late September I started inking to have some photography and video footage edited for October 1st. I find I work well in batches, it’s easier to schedule in a few FULL painting/inking days rather than have my creative energy scattered and possibly miss a day because, well, life in 2020. Now I just have a few more pieces to finish and videos to edit and I will finally have accomplished my life’s mission of finishing inktober, mouhahah!

• Are you planning to use these drawings once your done other then just posting to social media?

I am planning to have all my originals (ink on watercolour paper) up for sale on my new website/shop (launching end of October...I hope...cough cough) Prints eventually. And I would love to make a little zine with my 31 characters. Even if I only make a copy for myself! I’ve grown quite fond of the little ghouls

Thanks so much for takin the time to read all my jibberjabber!

@LisaF Sorry to bother you, but have the links been sent out? I didn't get it automatically last month so I'm wondering if maybe the same thing happened this month ️ Thanks so much!
