First Order Stormtrooper from Star Wars the Force Awakens. Done with a pen brush and a micro pen. This was done last year for Inktober in October 2015. Had fun with this drawing. I really dig the new helmet design.
For this Inktober illustration from October 2015, I did a quick sketch of Rae Sloane from Star Wars using a pen brush. At the time, I had been reading Star Wars: Aftermath where she was an admiral. Little did I know that she would become a big deal in the First Order too.
Normally, I would have penciled the drawing before inking, but for Inktober, I decided to follow the original rules by Jake Parker and go straight to inking. The result was a little stiff, but I’m still happy with it.
To give the drawing more depth, I added a black background around her head and shoulders. Overall, I enjoyed creating this ink drawing and exploring the character of Rae Sloane.
For Inktober 2015, I did a quick sketch of Cthulhu using a pen brush. As a fan of cosmic horror, I had a blast drawing this iconic character. I liked playing with the details of Cthulhu’s tentacles and wings, I also added a skull-like head.
A quick BB-8 from the new Star Wars The Force Awakens film. This was done with a pen brush. I think this little droid is going to totally steal the show.
Recently watched Automata on Netflix. Here’s one of the robots. Had fun adding so many crosshatching.
This ink sketch is inspired by the new film The Martian. Going to see it tonight! Inktober 2015
Wait what’s Inktober you might ask? It’s an annual drawing challenge set forth by artist Jake Parker. The challenge is to do one ink drawing a day for the entire month of October.
Parker created InkTober in 2009. He has invited everyone to join him in the monthly exercise. But like any challenge, there are a few rules.
Here is a photo of my tools for 2015. A cool Moleskine sketchpad, Pentel Color Brush, Micron pens, and a sharpie pen. Last year I started the challenge, but only got as far as 3 drawings. This year I plan on finishing all 31 days. I’ll be posting my inks here and on my Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. It’s going to be a fun month!

Day 3 of the Inktober challenge. I inked a redesign of my main character from First Legacy, Sylvia Light (aka Aurora Light). This is a redesign of her basic look. I’ve changed her from a long-haired blond to a short-haired, darker-skinned character. I’ve had her redesign in mine for a while, this is my first attempt to place it on paper. I used a 102 nib pen and a #3 sable brush for this inking.
Second day of the Inktober challenge. This time I wanted to do something a little different. A lady with a huge Afro. I placed a black shadow background to add some dimension. For this quick inking I used a 102 nib pen and a #3 sable brush. The inking tools I enjoy using the most. I feel I have more control with them. I’ll be branching out in future attempts.
This is my first time participating. Here’s the Day 1 inking of a random cyborg guy. With this challenge, I’m going to try different inking techniques. I used a Pentel Medium Tip Brush Pen and a Pentel Pocket Brush Pen here. The lines came out a little thicker than I’m used to. Might be inking with a heavy hand. I had fun with this one.
