Grey Pens - Tumblr Posts
Inktober day 26 - fineliner, grey pens and ink paint pens Nettle and Spider aren't really the same height, but they look more dramatic this way.
Inktober 2016 - Day 17 : g-pen and grey pen I realised I hadn’t drawn the Mirror Twins yet this year, so here they are! That might well be a ‘Hand of Glory’, but let’s not ask where they got it.
Here I am, frantically posting the rest of Inktober 2020 before Inktober 2021 starts!
I’ve done Inktober every year since 2013, so I was quite upset that I couldn’t finish it in 2020. I kept trying for the whole month, but I only managed a few sketches. If you squint you can see there are two dates on some of these - those are the ones that were at least sketched on the right day, the others were backfilled months later.
I’m going to try again this year, so hold your thumbs for me!
Here’s the rest of them! Right at the end of this month I decided I had run out of time, so the real life sketchbook has a few pages painted flat black between these.
I feel a lot better this year, but I have a couple of strategies planned in case things go badly again. I might go as small as A7 if a whole page is too daunting, and in the limit if I really can’t do anything on a given day I’ll paint it black again. That way I won’t have a backlog - either it’s done or it’s not.
Inktober is may favourite art event of the year so I hope this time goes better!

Her friends can be a bit rowdy, but they mean well.

Time to wake up, friend.

I tried some harsher lighting on this one than I usually do. Also spot the splatter where I accidentally shot ink out of my pen!

They thought sending her to the facility might help.
