Inktober 2018 : Day 25 - Ink And WaterAugury Is The Practice Of Divining The Future From The Flight Of

Inktober 2018 : Day 25 - ink and water Augury is the practice of divining the future from the flight of birds. I have still been doing these, I’ve just been away from my scanner again! I don’t think I’ve ever been this busy during Inktober, I can count on one hand the number of full days off I’ve had this month. I’ve had to scrap some really nice ideas because I just didn’t have enough time to get them done. TT_TT

Inktober 2018 : Day 23 - fineliners and felt tip pen I usually try to avoid using the same medium two days in a row, but yesterday’s fineliners were plastic nibs and these are normal fibre nibs, so it’s okay, right?

Inktober 2018 : Day 12 - fountain pentel and felt tip pen Given how often I draw it you could be forgiven for thinking that Franz spends most of his life maiming people with his bare hands, but I’m actually drawing the same scene over and over. I think I’m starting to get the hang of the fountain pentel, which I have affectionately nicknamed ‘the splatter pen’. There’s something nice about the scrappy lines it makes.

Inktober 2018 : Day 11 - brush inking and ink wash I only have a short shift at work today so I was going to do something more impressive, but I just couldn’t summon the energy. I did try to ink with a brush though. Nettle quite often levitates while she’s reading, it’s her equivalent of fidgeting.

Inktober 2018 : Day 31 - mapping pen and ink wash Happy Hallowe’en! The Mirror Twins are looking for some new friends, if you’d like to join them. No Tabitha this year! I had so many Tabitha pictures that I recently made them into a set of postcards, so I thought it was time to try something different. I don’t think I’ve ever tried ink wash over hatching like this before, so maybe this will be my next Hallowe’en tradition?

Inktober 2018 : Day 9 - grey and black fude pens I have a neat little brush pen that’s black on one end and grey on the other, so I wanted to try doing some ‘colour holds’ like Sammy does. Although we weren’t sure if it still counts as a colour hold if the colour is grey. The girl Isaac has attached himself to can see him, so his preferred method of introduction is to sit creepily somewhere nearby until she notices him.
