inktober #24



inktober day twenty-four,  prompt:  "one dozen"


i must admit that when i first saw today's prompt,  i thought, "really?!".
but once i started thinking about it,
 everything kind of fell into place, one heart at a time.
because these hearts appear in my artwork today 
for some very special reasons:

first.....unfortunately, this will be my last inktober post this month,
but you know it would take a really good reason for me to bow out 
of the challenge early, and i've got the best reason in the world....
our daughter is marrying the love of her life on saturday,
and it's go-time!  i've got to get ready for this celebration of big love!

second.....while this artwork contains twelve hearts,
it was created to hold the power of a lot more than that,
and it was created with all of you in mind.
each one of these hearts holds about a gazillion
little hearts, and each one of those gazillion hearts holds 
my gratitude and appreciation for all your visits to my 
blog, instagram, and Facebook, as well as
 your sweet, supportive, and encouraging comments.
thank you from the top, middle and bottom of each one
of my heart of hearts!!!

third.....you know i love any reason to draw a little heart 
here and there.  add some chocolate, and things really start 
getting crazy..... :))


thanks again for coming on this inktober ride with me....
i'll be back in cyberspace very soon!

by adding some pencil to my ink drawing.

my heart is so happy, 
and it feels absolutely awesome to be an artist!

inktober #3



inktober day number three.   prompt: "collection"

oh.my.goodness, how i struggled with this!
(and as i sit here staring at this photo, i see so much that needs work!)
i am waaaay far away from my comfort zone 
with this "ink only" rule, and it's painful.
yeah, i know, "no pain, no gain",  but
do you think anyone would notice if i picked up my mechanical pencil
and got out my watercolors.....just for a tiny second?  :))

the majority of artwork on this page was created with
my Pentel pocket brush pen, and the lines were softened a bit
with a waterbrush.  other details were added with a micron .005

see you tomorrow.....xox

inktober



a new calendar page has turned,
and that means it's time for one of the biggest drawing challenges
in cyberspace known as "InkTober"!

to quote its founder, jake parker
"Every October, artists all over the world take on the InkTober
drawing challenge by doing one ink drawing a day the entire month."





the rules are easy:
you create a drawing using the ink of your choice.....






then you post it online with an inktober2016 hashtag.






now just repeat for the next 31 days.  gulp.

so here's my inktober drawing for day one, 
with the prompt being "fast".....
which i find rather ironic as i sit here writing this at 5:30 p.m.,
just barely getting it posted before a new day begins!  
:))

would you like to join in on the challenge?
you can read more about it here on jake's site!
