It doesn’t feel like I’ve done a month of drawing, but here we are. My third year of Inktober completed. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the challenge, and also the social side of it too. I’m already looking forward to Inktober 2018!

Sally in the Sunny Spot
Daft little dog sitting in the sun blinking because it’s bright and she hasn’t figured out she can turn her head the other way!
My Drawings for Inktober (2016)
Here are my pictures for Inktober 2016.
I wanted to really focus on improving my technique and developing a style for my ink drawings. I’ve also uploaded larger versions to my Flickr account here if you’d like to see them in detail.

My Drawings for Inktober (2015)
2015 was my first Inktober. The challenge is to draw something in ink each day in October. It’s really useful if you want to improve your inking skills or draw more regularly. The official website is http://inktober.com. I posted daily uploads to Twitter, Flickr and Pinterest, so if you follow me on those sites, you’ve probably seen these pictures already. Continue reading
Sketching Sally the fidget monster!
After a bit of cartoon practice, I decided to get some speed sketching practice with little Sally as my model.
I’m sure whenever she notices I’m looking at her, she gets the fidgets! It took a few aborted poses before I got the second sketch. Even then, she still moved her head and paws mid way through.
Fireside Hamish
Another digital painting – this time it’s my old golden retriever, Hamish. He sat by our halogen heater and the resulting light inspired me to turn it into a portrait. As usual this painting is for sale through my DeviantArt gallery [link].
I haven’t decided what to work on next, but it’ll probably be one of our other doggy friends – can’t have the cats having the numerical advantages hehe.
