Inktober - Oct 07 - 08

I missed yesterday! Oh no!

So I made it up today, by drawing two more vintage fashion sketches.

#inktober - gotta keep going!

Inktober - Oct 05

Again had no idea what to do! So new outfit from the Sartorialist! :) I think the red lips really made this outfit.

Here's a link to the blog post that was the inspiration for this sketch!

Inktober - Oct 04 - Horsies!

So despite the really shitty, rainy, windy weather - we went with Sheridan to sketch horses today... Which would have been lovely, if not for the above mention weather.

I think considering my frozen hands and the rain, my Inktober 04 - didn't turn out as bad as it could have. You could imagine how heroically I shielded my paper with my body, to avoid a big rain drop smudging everything!

To give you a clue of the elements we braved, I snapped the scene with my frozen hands:

And here are some of my rough sketches that I managed to get down. Sadly my 2 best pages got handed in, and I didn't get a chance to take a picture. Oh well!

All in all, I do wish the weather had been nicer to us, and that we would have been alotted more time. Maybe when I go back home to visit my Mom, I will draw some more horsies then!

Inktober - Oct 03

And here is the inspiration image taken from the Sartorialist blog:

Inktober - Oct 01 -02

I found out about the Inktober challenge! Where you draw one sketch with pen and ink a day. It's been so long since I did pen and ink sketches, so I thought I might take up the challenge, despite homework and work.

Since I found out only today - I will post 2 sketches! Hopefully I will have enough time to keep going all month.

First, I drew the Pena Palace of Sintra - brushing up on Castles, which we have to draw for layout. Lines are a bit wonky, but oh well.

Ocotber 1st!

Next, I was watching "How to Steal a Million" with Audrey Hepburn, and drew some sketches of her. Oh how I love her outfits.

October 2nd!
