With Inktober 2025 merrily chugging along, I am following up my last post to show you more of what I did for Inktober 2024 (I mean, it's hard to do a retrospective of current events, right?) Without further ado, here is more art from exactly (or so) a year ago:
Inktober 2024, Day Four, "exotic" - this one is a bit more detailed, so it's where I bogged down slightly; I think I posted my pencil sketch on the correct day, but I posted the finished inks a few days later.
Inktober 2024, Day Five, "binoculars" - this was a pretty simple design that I thought came out very well. Another favorite. I just like the vibe!
Something I didn't mention before, but you may have noticed when you saw the prompt list in my previous post, is that the 2024 prompt list was mostly made of obviously related words, as though someone lazily opened a book on travel for, uh, "inspiration" when deciding on the prompts. I mean, 30 of the 31 prompts are obviously travel-related, and I'm sure you could fit "violin" in there with not much extra effort. I'd contemplated making an actual story out of these...but then I thought I should probably leave that to people who can finish things.
So anyway, Inktober 2024, Day Six, "trek", is my attempt to derail the narrative, because art lets you do that. My portrait of Counselor Deanna Troi came out very nicely, I think. Of course I posted it late, but these things can't be rushed. One thing I have a slight issue with is that her hair looks oddly two-toned due to my using a Sharpie to fill in the bulk of the dark area rather than drain my beloved Micron pen with non-precision work. Sacrifices must be mad for great art, so this is not great art. Hee! Oh, and since I was late getting this done, I sneakily threw in Day Seven, "passport", tucked into her hand. I'm a rascal!
Inktober 2024, Day Eight, "hike", and Day Nine, "sun" - at this point, I decided to fling myself into combined prompts. I also got a little experimental with decorative patterns, turning out this semi-psychedelic drawing on a piece of bright-pink cardstock rather than in my dedicated Inktober sketch book. I subsequently placed it, and another doodle, in the local FLAG (free little art gallery) for anyone to take and enjoy.
And that, my friends, is my output for Inktober 2024, both in drawings and blog posts. I have produced artwork for Inktober 2025, so I'll be covering that at some point.
