N’Inktober Week 4

I didn’t think it would be a problem to do this month of daily art challenge – I’ve been making art every day continuously for a while now. I am pleased with myself for having taken the time to be more detailed than my usual daily art, at least. 

Temperamental Glasses

There was a question, about a coloring book or sketchbook with this year’s art in it. I think instead I’ll do a creativity journal, with space for the user to write their own stories, using the prompts. It feels, I don’t know, weird to just have my own work in it. I’d like the idea that I was helping inspire someone else to create with my creativity. 

Crystal Leaves

This one sparked an idea in my mind of the Twelve Dancing Princesses, and the soldier who collected leaves from the strange subterranean trees to prove that his pursuit of them had been honest. 

Candles Salamander

Rudely awakened at Christmastime, when his mossy home was collected to serve as decoration, the salamander is positively dazzled with all the lights and dancing fires when he emerges to see what had become of it all. 

Quest Hiking

The load-in is always the worst of it. What to take? What to leave? Where to put it all! 

Burgeoning Pie

Four-and-Twenty Blackbirds… and one confused pigeon. 

Yes, if you count there are twenty-five birds in the image! 

Dragon Rain

Walking home surrounded by the gleeful tiny shrieks of delighted falling dragons… and trying not to step into dragon puddles. 

Caffeinated Seance

I drew this after a very long day on Sunday, knowing what my Monday morning would feel like! 

And that’s it, down to one last week of No Ink October, and then I shall curl up with colors in November, but perhaps not quite so much time put to art each day. I have other projects to complete!
