During my lunch break, I decided to do a quick sketch of the great old one, Cthulhu. Using just a simple ballpoint pen and a work notepad, I was able to capture the essence of this legendary creature.
It only took me about 5 minutes to complete the sketch, but I was happy with how it turned out. Even though it was just a quick drawing, it’s always fun to flex my artistic skills and see what I can come up with on the fly.
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!
