Inktober Part Three

Posted on October 28, 2016 Updated on January 7, 2017

I’ve fallen behind…got too wrapped up in college papers to take ink to page recently. So even though they don’t match up with the days completely, here is the next seven drawings

Drawing #21

Lights. The five smaller bulbs in the background are actually supposed to be the reflection in the dark window. I’m not sure if you can tell that or not.

Drawing #20

As far as I can remember, this is the third self portrait I’ve ever done. The one before this was from my sophomore year in high school. It was the first image posted on this blog. You can look back to the very first post to see it here, if you like: Test Post 

The first was one I drew in second grade art class. I imagine my mom might still have it somewhere.

I made sure to take process photos. I love to see the process. See them below.

Drawing #19

This is the third drawing of Inktober so far with at the Suzallo Library. This is my first drawing using a shading marker. This month, with all the time I’ve spent drawing, I really think I’ve broken through to a new level of understanding the things I see and how to draw them. The perspective on the stair rail and the lights was tough, but I could not have drawn this a few months ago.  Its one of the best in the series, I feel.

Drawing #18

What does it say about you if a pretty girl stands next to you in the library, and you’re more interested in the way her leather boots fold, than her?…Anyway, I felt a bit creepy surreptitiosly taking a picture of her boots, but I had fun drawing them. I left room on this page in my sketchbook to do several more. I plan to draw the same boots but in several different mediums. Look for it in a future post.

Drawing #17

A plant outside Suzallo Library in Red Square on my campus. I love the way it turned out.  If you remember my October 6th drawing, this plant is right behind the penciled in lamp in the distance, on the other side of the stairs.

Drawing #16

This was a fun one; I met up with my friend Darren whom I met a year ago on my first trip to Seattle. We met up for coffee and went down town to do some sketching. We might even collaborate on some projects in the future.

Drawing #15

There was a seagull who sat next to me while I was eating my lunch in Red Square. Here he is twice.

Like I said, I’ve fallen behind, but I’ll post the last series when I’ve finished them. There will be 31 drawings for 31 days of Inktober.

Thanks for looking!
