Ahh, the poor kitty didn't see the slippery floor! I want to reach out my hand and say, 'There, there, kitty!' Check out my IG account, @dittofunkysketch123, for up-to-date Inktober posts!
The North American Martyrs. From left to right, bottom: St. Jean de Lalande, St. Rene Goupil, St. Isaac Jogues, St. Jean de Brébeuf - top: St. Noël Chabanel, St. Antoine Daniel, St. Charles Garner and St. Gabriel Lalemant. Remember the price our fellow brothers and priests had to pay. #northamerica, #unitedstates, #canada, #mexico, #france, #catholic, #christian #martyrs, #america
Happy Sunday everyone! I saw my grandparents picture of the good shepherd in their living room today and got inspired to make my own version. Jesus, our good and merciful shepherd! Have mercy on us and we love you! #Christian, #jesus, #goodshepherd, #catholic, #sketch
Inktober 2020, Day 13: "Dune". After pondering for a while, whether I should come up with something surprising, I decided to go with what for me is the obvious association, the sci-fi book. I based it on this illustration of a sandworm (https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Sandworm?file=Dune-sandworm.jpg) by Nathan Rosario. It’s not meant to promote the now postponed new movie, but rather based on the books by Frank Herbert, which I loved as a teenager.
Brushpens and posca markers on coloured A4, this time with an acrylic underpainting (falling back on my painterly ways).
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
So I'm a little behind the curve, but here's my day 1 for Inktober. This was my first time using my fountain pen for drawing, so I can't complain too much. There's definitely some room to grow. Lined with a TWSBI Eco: fine nib with Organics Studio Walden ink on Tomoe River paper. I'm a sucker for sheen, what can I say. The sad attempt at shading was done with a wet paper towel, so I'm guessing I could try upgrading my technique there ;D
A Cloud, a Tree, a Star. Illustration of St. Brendan (Naomh Breandain in Irish) for Tolkien's poem, Imram (https://englewoodreview.org/poem-the-death-of-st-brendan-j-r-r-tolkien/).
Something a little different. Painterly little watercolours from today. Felt like exploring colour mixing – took a sketchbook to the one of the quiet botanical parks.
