Inktober Day #8

Day 8 - "More Red Spandex"

Day 8 - So after finishing yesterday's Inktober sketch, I realized that Mr. Incredible's costume is very similar to that of this guy--Freakazoid!  So I thought I'd draw him for today's entry.  Afterwards I thought it would be amusing to see them together with their almost-identical costumes.  So I used photoshop to combine both images together.  

(just for fun)
"Incredibly Freaky"

Inktober Day #7

Day 7 - "Incredible"

Day 7 - One of my favorite Pixar movies.  Enough said.

Inktober Day #6

Day #6 - I recently saw the movie, "The Equalizer," with Denzel Washington.  Originally, my friend and I were planning on seeing a different movie, but plans kinda fell through after tickets were sold out.  So instead, we decided on "The Equalizer," as our second option.  I didn't really have too many expectations going into it.  I felt the beginning dragged a bit, but overall, I ended up enjoying it a lot.

Day 6 - The Equalizer

Inktober Day #5

Day 5 - "Collie Herb Man"

Day 5 - This was based off a song with the same title, by a New Zealand roots reggae band, Katchafire.  They were actually performing in San Francisco, but I wasn't able to go see them because I couldn't find anyone else to accompany me.  Kinda bummed that I couldn't go.  So as a result, I was forced to listen to them at home, on my headphones.

Inktober Day #4

Day 4 - "Nerd or Hipster"

Day #4 - Although the drawing seems a bit cliche, I just wanted to keep things relatively simple.  Intentionally wanted to keep the details subtle and not over exaggerate them, as I did not want to make it obvious.  My aim was to make things somewhat ambiguous.

INKTOBER! Days 1, 2, & 3!

This is a bit of a late post as I have been busy the last few days.  The fall is finally upon us, and it's a new month; my favorite time of the year!

As an artist, I feel like I'm constantly learning new things, always trying to improve my craft.  With that said, I felt like challenging myself by participating in the "Inktober Initiative," which started back in 2009 by artist Jake Parker.  Basically, the idea of Inktober is to do one ink drawing a day for the entire month, as a means to not only improve drawing skills, but also to develop consistent drawing habits.  So here are my drawings from the past 3 days.

Day 1 - "Here Comes Halloween"

Day #1 - It's a new month, so I thought, what better way to start the month and kick off Inktober than with The Pumpkin King himself, Jack Skellington!

Day 2 - "Sickly"

Day #2 - As the fall season approaches, so does the cold/flu season.  The other day, my girlfriend was feeling a bit under the weather.  At first, she thought it was just an allergy attack.  So we left the house thinking it would subside, and her sinuses would clear up.  Turns out,  she just ended up feeling worse.  Hopefully, she isn't getting sick.

Day 3 - "Don't Make Him Angry"

Day #3 - As a Bay Area resident and sports fan, October means Postseason baseball!  The SF Giants are just coming off a wild card victory against the Pirates, and now it's Game 1 of the NLDS.  The panda idea was inspired by Pablo Sandoval, whose nicknamed "Panda," or "Kung Fu Panda.

So Inktober is off to a great start, and I am definitely looking forward to what's ahead.  Stay tuned for more updates! Enjoy!
