All the Mars rovers are amazing. I’ve had a special place in my heart for Viking since Carl Sagan’s Cosmos as a kid. I loved Carl, but Sojourner is my absolute favorite.
It was the first mobile rover and oh so adorable. It didn’t travel far but boy it sparked my imagination. Figuring out the color palette for this Inktober was tricky but happy with/ how it turned out.

The first twelve days of Inktober. It’s hard for me to pick a favorite but I think it gotta go with Day 10: Nomadic. Hope you’ve enjoyed it so far. On we go!

The head start I gave myself for this year’s #Inktober is officially gone. Though I’ve got it sketched, I’ll be drawing tomorrow’s entry on the day. Suppose I should be happy I got half way through the month ahead of the game but still.

Time-lapse process for Day 15: Guidebook.
I love trying to emulate the style of Apple’s eWorld social network. Everything is so vibrant and the shapes are really forgiving but there’s a quality about it that if you don’t get just right, it def feels wrong. I think I pulled it off here tho.
This one ended up being much more fun than I thought it would be given the boring prompt. Yay!

Time-lapse process for Day 16: Grungy
I think many artists enjoy trying to emulate their favorite creators. I get a great deal of joy from looking at work I admire and trying to figure out what makes it so amazing.
Being able to replicate the charming work of Charles Shultz is one small example. The simple, sketchy line work, the amazing colors and even the shadows cast by the animation cells. This was a fun one.

Day 17: Journal

Time-lapse process for Day 17: Journal
Struggled with a bunch of stuff here including her face. I spent maybe 3 hours on this one start to finish. Time-lapse makes it look effortless, and to some talented folks this would be a cake walk, but it wasn’t for me. Still it was fun to draw and I’m amazed I enjoyed it at all considering the utterly boring prompt of ‘Journal’.

Day 18: Drive

Time-lapse process for Day 18: Drive
I like to think I’m not a one trick pony. Sketches like this one really help me get outside my comfort zone and prove it. I knew exactly what I wanted to draw but I wasn’t sure how (or even if) I was gonna be able to pull it off.
The trick is to take things one step at a time and try not to get discouraged. This one could’ve been better but it’s pretty much how I saw it in my head and that’s what matters.
