Reading with paperclip bunnies for #inktober

Created the above with a Pentel Pocket Brush that's almost out of ink and some paperclips.

I'm participating in InkTober, a challenge started by Jake Parker in which artists all over the world do an ink drawing (actual ink, non-digital) each day for the month of October. Pencil under-drawings allowed. See the guidelines here.

Breakfast cereal doodle for #inktober

So this morning I decided to combine an Inktober drawing with some breakfast cereal. :-)

I love creating found object doodles and post them on Instagram"Found Object Art" gallery on Flickr, Pinterest, Tumblr  and in my Found Object Art portfolio.

I'm participating in InkTober, a challenge started by Jake Parker in which artists all over the world do an ink drawing (actual ink, non-digital) each day for the month of October. Pencil under-drawings allowed. See the guidelines here.

I did my first Inktober doodle whilst sitting in the hairdresser's hair yesterday.

A duck-billed platypus for Marilisa Valtazanou

 

A while back as part of an art challenge for myself, I asked people to suggest animals for me to draw in my Daily Sketch project -- animals I don't normally draw. You can see links to past animals & people's suggestions here.

This duck-billed platypus is for Marilisa Valtazanou.

I created this drawing on Strathmore Waterolor coldpress using a Pentel Pocket Brush Pen, Derwent Inktense blocks and Inktense pencil crayons.

A bulldog for Emma Dryden

A while back as part of an art challenge for myself, I asked people to suggest animals for me to draw in my Daily Sketch project. You can see links to past animals & people's suggestions here.

This bulldog is for Emma Dryden.

I created it entirely in Photoshop using Alex Dukal brushes. I've been playing around with his new Cartoonist brushes and love the hand-drawn look. Also used his 2B Pencil brush from his AD Artbox 1 kit.

I was just going to do the bulldog but then thought it would add an extra level of fun to include a REASON for him looking somewhat peeved. :-)
