Inktober 2018

It took me into November – BUT I DID THEM ALL YOU GUYS! With two kids and lotsa work, this was a flippin’ feat. All sketches done on a Moleskine sketchbook, using a mix of pentel brush pen, pigma liners, colerase pencils, pencil crayons and markers.

Inktober 2017 – The Adventures of Robson

This year I participated in Inktober again, but I wanted to try my best to do a drawing every day if I possibly could! I decided to make my theme about Robson, because I have a lot of fun ideas to draw when it comes to her!  🙂  ❤  Here are all 31 drawings inContinue reading “Inktober 2017 – The Adventures of Robson”

Last sketches of 2015

This October – December was the busiest on record, what with starting a new show at the studio, piles of freelance, and selling and buying a house…… so sadly my sketches took a backseat. I managed to squeak out a few, here they are! For Inktober 2015: A couple sketches in time for “Back toContinue reading “Last sketches of 2015”

Inktober 2014 sketches

Life has been CRAZY lately with lots of work [most of which I cannot post!], so I wasn’t able to do as many Inktober sketches this year as I would have liked. HOWever, I managed to squeeze out a few, here they are 🙂 A real disguise. [pencil crayon, brush pen] A doggy from Gastown.Continue reading “Inktober 2014 sketches”

Inktober comes to an end on Halloween.

What a great month of stretching myself and my pride, and getting encouraged by friends and other artists to just keep making art! Saw some AMAZING art created by artists I know and admire, wow. And what an awesome way to rediscover the joys of ink and paper. I will surely miss you Inktober, butContinue reading “Inktober comes to an end on Halloween.”

Sketching “Psycho”.

Trying an exercise I haven’t done in a while…. watching a favourite film, pausing it whenever I like the composition, and trying to sketch it as fast as possible. Since I am [more than] slightly obsessed with anything Hitchcock created, and it’s almost Halloween, “Psycho” seemed appropriate. These didn’t all turn out, but with theContinue reading “Sketching “Psycho”.”

Halloween-inspired Inktober’s.

Work has been really busy, and I can’t post the stuff I work on… so I am always trying to do a daily drawing of my own…. especially right now with Inktober! One is a retro-inspired suggestion by my wife, and the other is a film-inspired sketch from “Hocus Pocus”. I got some commissions toContinue reading “Halloween-inspired Inktober’s.”

Inktober-ing a Pumpkin Patch: Part 2

I decided to try a retro slant on these drawings…. my favourite style of illustration! But I have not done tons of these drawings myself, mostly out of intimidation. I am terrified to put up drawings and not be “good enough”. But I am learning…. learning so much. Mostly… I am learning to extend theContinue reading “Inktober-ing a Pumpkin Patch: Part 2”

Inktober-ing at the Pumpkin Patch, Part 1.

Sometimes I forget to extend the kind of grace I do to others, to myself. My beautiful wife always reminds me of this when I get frustrated after doing a drawing that doesn’t meet my own standards. I am really trying to get past that!! Sigh. Being a perfectionist artist comes with its’ struggles. TheseContinue reading “Inktober-ing at the Pumpkin Patch, Part 1.”
