This ink sketch is inspired by the new film The Martian. Going to see it tonight! Inktober 2015
Inktober 2015 is Here!
It’s October again, and that means to a lot of artists around the world it’s Inktober!
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.
- Rule One: Make a drawing in ink
- Rule Two: Post it on your blog or your Social Media
- Rule Three: Hashtag it with #inktober
- Rule Four: Repeat
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!

30 Characters Challenge 2013 – #7 Noemin, Rogue Daughter of Lilith
Character Back Story:
Noemin is unlike any of Lilith’s other daughters, she doesn’t despise the children of Eve. From an early age, Noemin found humans and their gadgets very interesting. She immediately understood how these gadgets worked and how to improve on them. She had a talent for creating her own gadgets too. Before long Noemin was creating a variety of mechanical devices for herself and her sisters. Her mother Lilith was not pleased with these inventions. Lilith saw technology as a perversion of the earth’s natural resources, this was one of the many reasons she hated Eve’s children. Lilith commanded that all of Noemin’s gadgets be destroyed and forbid her from making any more. Hurt and sad Noemin complied with her mother. It was that day she decided that she would leave her mother and sister to forge her own life and place in the world.
Decades later Lilith sends Noemin and her younger sister Sylvia out on a mission to retrieve a mystical object, it will help her find the decedents of Eve’s first child Adam. They are intercepted by the Archangel Sansenoy who was sent to stop them. Sylvia attacks the Archangel but is defeated very quickly. Too quickly for Noemin to believe, Sylvia is her mother’s finest warrior. She realizes that they know each other and can see it in their eyes. Their body movements betray the fact that they share a romantic connection. Instead of letting the fake battle play out, Noemin casualty asks how long Sylvia and Sansenoy have been involved.
Sylvia begs her not to tell their mother Lilith. She explains that they have been in love with each other for years. That he has helped her not to hate the children of Eve, but to see their potential. Noemin agrees that their mother can not know any of this. She tells Sylvia that she also doesn’t agree with their mad mother’s agenda. And that she is glad to see her sister in love. Noemin sees this as an opportunity to stop one of her mother’s deadly plans and to escape from her clutches in the process. They devise a story that they were intercepted by a legion of angels, that mystic object was taken and that Noemin gave her life to save Sylvia.

Black Adam Pencils
Black Adam Pencils
For the past few weeks, I’ve been listing to DC 52, Graphic Audio Book. One of the main characters is Black Adam. I’m a huge fan of the Marvel Family (Captain Marvel and his supporting cast.) and I’ve really enjoyed the adventure with the Black Marvel Family.
I was inspired to pencil this drawing of Black Adam. I used a .05 HB mechanical pencil, it took me about an hour. I had fun with these pencils. I’ll be posting my inks in the next few days. – Shazam!
