Inktober 2015: Paranormal Explorations, Batch Two

Inktober has comes to its end and I'm pretty damn happy to report I made it out of the month with 30/31 ink drawings! I did miss one day but I'm still pretty happy with making the majority of the month. Here are the rest of my paranormal-inspired Inktober drawings:

possession

Marie Laveau

banshee

chupacabra

UFO/alien abduction

Robert the doll

black shuck/devil dog

faeries

jack-o-lantern

for the last week I drew based on some of my favorite horror films... Children of the Corn

Nightmare Before Christmas

Let the Right One In

IT

Poltergeist

The Shining

Inktober was so much fun! I really liked some of these small drawings, so I may develop a few into more developed illustrations soon.

Inktober 2015: Paranormal Explorations, Batch One

I've been participating in this year's Inktober pretty well so far--only missed a few days and caught up right away! I decided to theme my illustrations for Inktober under the paranormal and supernatural. I am personally very intrigued and drawn to this subject matter so I knew it would be enticing for me to draw something new from within those realms each day. Also, there's Halloween! Who doesn't love creepy stuff in October? I also decided to standardize my sizes for ease of creation and sale. I'm working on 4.5x6 in. bristol board. Each Inktober drawing is available for sale for $25, including shipping! If you'd like to keep an eye on my Inktober originals for sale, follow my Facebook event.

Now, without further ado, let the creepiness begin...

black-eyed children

Victorian-era ghost

Nosferatu

ghosts in a graveyard... classic Halloween iconography!

shadow people

animal psi

doppleganger

ectoplasm

deva, or nature spirit

sleep paralysis

bloody mary

vampire

graveyard mystery

faceless woman ghost

pumpkins and a black cat... another classic Halloween iconography!

I'll post the rest of the Inktober drawings in November. Enjoy the rest of October whether you're participating in Inktober, basking in the autumn season (of which I am very jealous of you since I'm in the constant sun of LA), or preparing your costume for upcoming parties and trick-or-treating!

Inktober: Halloween-inspired

Here's my Inktober drawings thus far. I decided to draw one every other day, but even that proved difficult. I'm two short, but aiming to stay on track for the rest of October!

Stickathon 2014

I'm participating in a fun drawing challenge called Stickathon! For the entire month of September you draw on a post-it/sticky note each day. I'm going to stick them around the Bay as often as I can - most likely along my commute.

Thousand Head Drawing Challenge COMPLETE!!!

I did it! Here are the final best fifteen in the last hundred of the one thousand head-drawing challenge! It's taken me just about two years to complete, but it's been worth every effort. Progress photos ahead!
