Inktober Week 2 & 3



Here are a few faces from week 2 & 3 of Inktober.  Please see week 1 if you haven't already.  I feel like I'm getting a bit more comfortable with inking.

I'm not even sure why I avoided it for so long. Some of these ladies are posted on my Esty for purchase.  


I've also opened up a custom purchase option.  If you would like to illustrate a picture for you I can do that!  

These are done on watercolor paper, I just like to texture of cold press.  I want to do some larger scale drawings with a bit of color.  So, Im looking forward to that.


I'm teaching a class in November and I would love if you would join me.  After you watch this video check out the side bar and click the owl button. 



Hope you all had a chance to make something this week.  If you did leave me a link down below. 

Have a great weekend! Sharing with Paint Party FridayArt It FridayWWYOW

Inktober 2015 Week 1 + Crafty Haul Video


Drawing with ink makes me nervous.  Inktober is a sort of like a challenge where you sketch in ink everyday for the month of October.  Whenever I use a different medium my art work grows a little bit.

In the past years, I spent so much time being jealous of other artists on social media that I think it crippled my confidence.  Just in the five days of doing inktober, I feel so fulfilled about the direction of my artwork.

I do a sketch with pencil first and then ink over it.  Not being able to erase forces you to make confident and intentional lines.  I don't plan everything out, sometimes I make it up as I go along. 


I hope you are encouraged to try something new so you get pushed out of your comfort zone.  You might be pleasantly surprised!  Prints will be available at the end of the month.  If you would like to see my sketches day to day you can find me on Instagram.


I did manage to pick up a few things over the past few weeks!  There are a lot of sales going on so I'd thought I would share.  

Have a great weekend friends!
