Inktober 2020 #7 – Fancy
I’ve always thought jingle dresses looked fancy, so here’s a little Indigenous girl dancing in her jingle dress.
(I’m not Indigenous, so apologies if I got something wrong. If anything’s egregiously wrong, please let me know and I’ll fix it.)
Inktober 2020 #6 – Rodent
Beavers are rodents, which is today’s prompt. This one plays hockey. I think he’s Canadian. Because it makes sense to me that a hockey playing beaver would be Canadian. He plays for team Rodent. My youngest says she thinks he plays defense. I asked her why and she said, “He just does.”
Inktober 2020 #5 – Blade
Today we have sabre drill. A girl practicing fencing with her coach. The prompt was blade. I took the time to do comic book style shading and highlights this time.
I did my best to get the lunge position and the clothing correct. My husband fences, so I got a bit of advice from him on that. The coach is based very roughly on his coach and this drill is very common for beginning sabre fencers.
Sabre is the hack and slash style of fencing. Foil and epee are the pokey styles. My daughter is deeply disappointed I drew sabre instead of epee. She thinks epee is the best. But sabre just doesn’t have as nice a sound effect. SMACK!
Inktober 2020 #4 – Radio
Today’s prompt was radio, so these two aliens are groov’in to earth music in their flying saucer.
Inktober 2020 #3 – Bulky
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.
Safety Book – Interior Image – Page 16
Here’s an image for page 16 of a safety-themed coloring book commissioned by Positive Promotions. Last page. This one isn’t much. It’s just a border for a “Safe Kids” certificate.
Next up is a book titled “Mom for City Council” but that won’t be finished until towards the end of the month. I’ll post once it’s done.
As always, I am taking commissions. Contact me to discuss your project.
Safety Book – Interior Image – Page 15
Here’s an image for page 15 of a safety-themed coloring book commissioned by Positive Promotions. This page is about cyber safety. The two siblings are each using their devices to access online content.
Safety Book – Interior Image – Page 14
Here’s an image for page 14 of a safety-themed coloring book commissioned by Positive Promotions. This page covers bullying. A boy is picking up his books, presumably after some bullies knocked them onto the floor. Probably the same boys that are smirking at him from the other side of the room. But, luckily for him, a friend has stopped to help him pick up his books. Isn’t that nice?
Safety Book – Interior Image – Page 13
Here’s an image for page 13 of a safety-themed coloring book commissioned by Positive Promotions. This is the, “Say, ‘no,’ to drugs,” page. So a girl is politely refusing a cigarette another girl is offering her. And there’s beer, tobacco, and pills in the, “No,” symbol below.
