INKTOBER IS OVER, FOR 2023

The word was Massive…I think this drawing fits the bill! (Even though as a ink drawing it wasn’t very successful.)

The word was Rush and as I said on Facebook I didn’t draw much more than a rush with a burgeoning inflorescence, wanting to spend my time practicing the architectural style lettering I am teaching myself.

Again, as I posted on FB I had lots of fun with the last Inktober word, Fire, but I forgot to light the still life properly, so instead of dramatic darks and lights I had complicated weak shadows from light from multiple sources. Not good! I’d like to draw this again, but with better lighting. Once again however I got to practice my lettering, explaining why my still life fit the word Fire.

CHAINS,SCRATCHY, SHALLOW, DANGEROUS etc INKTOBER CONTINUES

The word was Chains,, so I drew a bank of fast food store chains, all in a row. I could not find any photos for this so I had to imagine it.

The word was Shallow. My cat scratches the word work, and me, when I walk too fast past her, so she’s my Miss Scratchy Baby!

The word was Shallow. Sea turtles are swimming in shallow water when you can see their shadows on the sea floor beneath them.

The word was Dangerous. This drawing depicts a young man singing in the bathtub while radio blasts out music, but little does he know the vibrations threaten to topple the radio into the tub…and we all know what happens then!

The word was Remove, so I drew an eviction as that’s how landlords remove an undesired tenant from their properties.

This time the word Beast suggested a young girl, understood to be beautiful, who looks in the mirror and sees only a beast. I don’t think this beast successfully captured what I wanted to depict, but there you have it.

This time the word was Sparkle, which stumped me until a friend said “eyes sparkle” and suggested I draw a detailed eye. Thank you, Mizzy!

Angel, Demon, Saddle, Plump, Frost— Inktober2023

Destroying Angel is an extremely poisonous mushroom in the Amanita genus.

Demon or Daimon can mean a god or deity so i chose to draw the Venus of Dolni Vestonice found in the Czech Republic and perhaps as old as 29,000 years. One of the oldest ceramic objects ever found.

Saddle shoes are full of nostalgia for me whereas saddles that go in horses etc mean little.

The word Plump brought to mind a plump ripe fig nearly bursting its skin with sweetness.

First frost of the season is coming soon and there are not enough shelters for all of these fellow human beings…
