Inktober Twenty-Nine to Thirty
So this was the last big push, back from MCM, determined to get back on track to actually complete Inktober within the month itself. These two did make me think about how to represent them within my...

Inktober – The Final Picture
It’s here, at last – the final picture of Inktober – and I’m particularly proud that I managed to wait and do this image actually on the 31st October. It has felt sometimes like a breeze and others...

Wait, where’s November going?
I swear sometimes it’s like I blink and I’ve time travelled, or fallen through a crack in the space-time continuum, and it’s suddenly halfway through the month. Admittedly we spent the week after MCM...

Drawings
I’m still drawing all the time – it’s what I do to focus and distract with equal fervour and I now have staff who use the sight of my many doodles as sketches to recognise that I’m based at a given...

Accidental Boosts
If you follow me on any other social media, or know me in real life, you might have noticed that I’m drawing and doodling and sketching and painting, and generally being an expressive soul all over...

Inktober Is Coming
Inktober 2019 Well, as if I needed an excuse to draw and paint things… October is Inktober, and the list has been published, so I’ll have a go just like I did last year. Yes, there will be image...

Knowing When To Stop
I’ve been drawing this on one of my big sketchpads over the last week or so: a little here, a little there, with lessons learned from smaller detail doodles along the way. I originally thought to just...

Inktober 2019 Days 1 and 2
It’s that time of year where my doodles and scratchings become a bit more purposeful. Inktober has a series of prompts, but is open to any interpretation or variance along the way. The key is to...

Inktober Days Three and Four
I’ve taken to doing these pictures in my lunch break while at work so that I have both a set time and a time limit within which to work. How that’ll work this weekend is anyone’s guess. Day three’s...

Inktober Five and Six
These next two have been quite tricky to pin down for some reason. I remember there being days like this from last time so I’m not particularly put out by it. In general I’m trying to only put about...

Inktober Seven and Eight
Even being ill hasn’t stopped the drawing. Sorry, not sorry. Thought I’d better schedule this one up while my head is relatively clear. Day seven’s theme is enchanted – and my mind went straight to a...

Inktober Nine and Ten
Everything hurts, my sinuses are convinced they’re on fire, and I’m officially fed up with whatever this bug is. But the artwork is a good distraction, so here we go… Day Nine brings us Swing. I...

Inktober Eleven and Twelve
We’re getting close to the halfway mark, which is a nice distraction from how this bug just isn’t quitting. Today’s late posting is brought to you by exhaustion, frequent trips to the loo, and as much...

Inktober Thirteen and Fourteen
I think I’m getting over the bug that flattened me last week, but I’ve definitely enjoyed having an extra day at the beginning of the week where I don’t work where I can feel a bit more human in...

Inktober Fifteen and Sixteen
Okay, now we’re halfway through the month, and there’s a nice body of work to look back over. I’ve started assembling a mosaic gallery of pieces from this year to match last year’s gallery, and these...

A Quiet Day
I think I’m so used to there being emergencies at work that actually having a quiet day is both a novelty and slightly unnerving. That’s not to say that it was without incident: this is a frontline...

Inktober Seventeen and Eighteen
I was too tired to post anything yesterday as it ended up being quite a draining day at work – on the other hand I’m now sitting at my desk with a cup of coffee while my neurons wake up properly so...

Inktober Nineteen and Twenty
I’ve got a bit out of sync with my days, so I’ll do another of these tomorrow to get up-to-date. Today has been a day off, so I’ve been relaxing with a box set on TV and sketchpads around me (ok, and...

Inktober Twenty-One and Twenty-Two
These were a couple of fun prompts these last couple days – well, I say fun, but what I really mean is that the inspiration and execution came relatively easily, even if again I was trying different...

Inktober Twenty-Three and Twenty-Four
We’re nearly into the final week of Inktober, and I’m about to have a few days off so finding time to draw as inspiration strikes should be a bit easier. Well, that’s the theory Day Twenty Three gave...
