Inktober 2020 #29 – Shoes

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.

Inktober 2020 #26 – Hide

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.

Inktober 2020 #25 – Buddy

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.

Illustration for the twenty-fifth day of the 2020 Inktober illustration prompt: Buddy.

Inktober 2020 #24 – Dig

I also considered drawing a pirate digging up buried treasure, but I decided on this puppy instead. I’m a little concerned that the dirt he’s throwing back fades into the dirt in the pile too much. What do you think?

Inktober 2020 #23 – RIP

RIP, of course, means Rest in Peace. We as a country and as a world have lost so many this year. Rest in Peace to all of them.

Two doves in an overgrown patch of grass and wildflowers.  There is a tombstone reading, "REST IN Peace  All those lost in 2020."

Inktober 2020 #22 – Chef

Here’s a chef. Playing with a different style.

Who ever said people need faces? Pft.

(BTW, I just finished watching a Doctor Who episode where the monster sucked off people’s faces through the TV. So. Faceless people. Yeah.)

An illustration of a woman in a chef's uniform standing with a spoon in her hand.  Drawn in a simplified style without a face or detailed hands.

Inktober 2020 #21 – Sleep

Cuteness overload! Two sleeping babies. I bet they’re best friends.

A toddler sleeps with a baby dragon curled up around them.

Inktober 2020 #20 – Coral

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

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