This is a more traditional Inktober style for me. More pure black and pure white than the grays from the last two pieces. So, this boy’s lifting a bulky backpack. I didn’t get it quite as silly and exaggerated as I wanted to, but I’m calling it done.
The folklore around will ‘o the wisps is that they lure nighttime travelers out into the swamp where they get lost, sometimes forever. So, here’s a naughty little will ‘o the wisp luring a boy into trouble.
So, I thought I’d see if I can get through an entire Inktober series again this year. Last time I did it was in 2016, but I ignored the official prompts in favor of whatever Halloween ideas came to mind. This time I’m following the official prompts, which means today is: Fish.
I’m not entirely following the official rules because Inktober is really supposed to be ink drawings. But I only draw digital. So… no ink in the house. Instead I’m going to approximate ink drawings by limiting myself to black and white and trying to do mostly ink-style drawings at least. This one isn’t very ink-style, though.
I’ve wanted to do a Day of the Dead skull for awhile. 🙂
This was intended to be a bonus Inktober piece for the Day of the Dead on November 1st. But I put too much detail into it, so I didn’t get it finished until today.
