Inktober 2020 #31 – Crawl

October 31, 2020October 31, 20202 Comments

So, since this is posting on Halloween, I thought it should be a Halloween themed image. So, the two things that come to mind with crawl is creepy crawly bugs and crawling babies. Bugs only seem really Halloweeny if it’s a spider or if they’re crawling over a corpse. I already did a spider this month and corpses are gross. Trying to not go for too gross since my target audience are kids.

So, a Halloween-themed baby.

I doodled a baby pumpkin-head, a baby Dracula, a baby Frankenstein’s monster, and a baby zombie. By the way, baby zombie? NO. Not cute. Bad. Very bad.

And I also doodled this baby Death, which is the one I liked best. So, that’s the one I finished off for today.

Whew! This is the last one! I’m done. I hope you enjoyed the month of inktober as much as I did. Thanks for watching!

I considered several possibilities to answer this prompt, but you know what? Sometimes the less you know, the worse it could be.

A two panel comic. The first panel shows eyes in the dark, wide open with pupils contracted. A thought bubble reads, "IT'S QUIET..." The second panel shows eyes in the dark, narrowed with suspicion. A thought bubble reads, in smaller text, "TOO QUIET." — \

This is about the cutest concept I can think of today.

A cartoon, line drawing of a baby boy who has pulled off one of his shoes and is chewing on it. We can see he has just two front teeth on the top.

Inktober 2020 #28 – Float

When I looked through this year’s Inktober prompt list for the first time, I saw this prompt and I knew immediately what I wanted to do with it. So, I’ve waited all month to do this one, and I finally got to it! Yay!

I may come back to it and add in shadows and maybe colors later. But not today. 🙂

Six girls at a slumber party play light as a feather, stiff as a board. Only, this time it actually works! The middle girl is levitating in the air. The other girls are chanting while the floating girl says, "This feels so weird!"

Inktober 2020 #27 – Music

Siren song counts as music, right? I hope so, but really… I just felt like drawing a mermaid. 🙂

It seems like every time I draw water, I do it differently. This style seems pretty good for mid-ocean swells.

A mermaid floats in the ocean in the foreground. Under the water, you can see her fishtail. She is singing. In the distance is a sailing ship. It's nighttime and a full moon is in the sky. The image is a black and white ink drawing.

I don’t know how that got into his house, but I don’t blame him for hiding.

A boy hides behind a door as a tentacle reaches around it, searching for him.

Buddy always seemed like a dog’s name to me. So, here’s a boy playing with his Buddy.

Fast line drawing using fat lines this time.

Some coral. With an eel. Because coral alone is boring. It needed an eel.

(Coral is really boring to draw. Like, REALLY boring.)

Inktober 2020 #17 – Rocket

Well, I’ve drawn real rockets and sci-fi rockets. I considered drawing Rocket Raccoon. But I decided to draw a boy lighting a bottle rocket instead.

Lines only. Didn’t bother with shading today. Maybe I’ll come back to it.
