#Inktober Day 07

Late, again...

These weekday ones are both late, and pretty basic unfortunately, but after tonights one (Day 8) I'm going to make sure tomorrows has a little more effort put into it (I have a little more time thankfully!)

*Update*

Since posting this I've decided to continue #inktober on an every other day basis, this way I'll have much more time to put into creating more interesting and detailed drawings!
I'll post the pencils and inks separately, and any colour versions I'll add to the post with the inks.

Promethean Doodle.

Not going to post the basic inks on this one, as they're just not as good.

#Inktober Day 06

A little bit late....

I'm cheating a little bit with this one, I did the sketch in pencil last night and inked it this morning before work!

No need to explain who this is I'm guessing.

Going to sketch the next one out now, and ink it late tonight when i get home, hopefully it'll get posted today, if not I'll have to double post tomorrow instead.

#Inktober Day 05

Day Five People!

I messed up this evening by spending too long fiddling around adding colour to yesterdays post (Its been updated with the colour version below the original), and now I'm tired and wanting to do nothing but have a cup of tea, read, and go to bed.

But I promised myself I would stick to one ink drawing a day, and by gad I will do it!

So this one is about as simple as it gets, quick 2 minute sketch with only a 0.05 pen, and a coloured version.
I think I'll call it "Greaser".

Busy day tomorrow, so quite possibly another quick one, but I'll make up for it on the weekend with something more detailed.

Until then, happy #inking! Or alternatively happy whatever else you're doing...

#Inktober Day 04

#inktober day four, and Jack picked the wrong time to learn a new hobby....

Again this one will look better with colour, and I noticed I need to alter some of the shading, but kind of happy with it anyway.
I'm giving myself two hours per drawing for each of these, an hour for pencils, and an hour to ink, scan, clean up in PS and post.

Catch you later!

*Update* 

Played around with some colours....

#Inktober Day 03

Greetings!

Day three of #inktober, this one was a lot of fun to draw, and I think I'm getting back into using pens again, it has been a long time as I like to use Photoshop for inking generally.

I'll definitely do a colour version of this one, tomorrow if I get time, but more likely on Monday evening.

Until then, have a great weekend all!

#Inktober Day 02

Hi Fair Readers,

Day two of #inktober brings a image I will call simply "Flying".

All of these drawings, for the whole month, will be done using Permanent Liners, with no additional work done on the pc apart from some levels work to better define the image and maybe some additional Gray wash on some.
This way it forces you to commit to the linework with no undo button to use!
If I do grey washes, or colour versions after I'll add it below the original image and update the post.

I'm hoping the drawings will get better with each day, and hopefully with more detail and improved quality all round.

*Update*

Below is a quick colour paint over in Photoshop for fun.

#Inktober Day 01

Hi Blog browsers!

I've decided to give #inktober a go this year, for those who don't know, it was started by a guy called Jake Parker in 2009 as a way to motivate himself and improve his art skills, and it took off and is now a global yearly event.
The idea is to do an ink piece of art, each day of the month of October.
Pretty simple really!
Hopefully I'll stick to it and have 31 inked drawings to show for it in a months time.

For more info on Jake please check out his website here - http://mrjakeparker.com

I need to get back into ink work, so just a small quick one for day one, with no real plan or reason, just a doodle.

See you tomorrow for day twos piece!
