Inktober #2 - Devil

A bit late but here's number two for Inktober a.k.a. Drawlloween. Todays subject: "Devil". A bit late and a lot of a mess. Probably shouldn't share this because of the quality, but hey. It's something at least.

Challenge #014: Different types of trees

Ok, so I had to skip one challenge, to design a typeface seems like too big of a chunk to swallow. I'll get back to that one later, promise. Jumping ahead to the next one, number 14, the task at hand is to draw different types of trees. I made them "cartoony" because I like to do some Cintiq Companion practice and doing good realistic drawings on this tablet is something I don't really know how to do just yet.

Doodle-of-the-day: Shady face

Simple "ink-only" doodle I did today. Simple in style but actually quite hard in execution. 

Shady face.

Inflight sketches

Had to go for a short trip this weekend up to the northern parts of Sweden so I got a chance to do some high altitude training on the Wacom Cintiq Companion 2. The first one I did on the one hour flight up there and the second I did on my way home. They're both messy and really sketchy, but considering on the short time and the rather wobbly character of the small plane I'm still kind of happy with them.

Sketching in progress.

Sketch done on my way up north.

Wobbly airplane.

Sketch made on my way home.

Let me know!

Challenge #011: A person laying down

Not much to say about this challenge. A person laying down. Quick drawing in Krita using a Wacom tablet.

P.S. If you happen to stumble upon this man in the streets of you home town, don't feed him. Just saying... D.S.

Challenge #010: Children's toys

Haven't done any of these challenges in a while. I'm ashamed of myself. The challenge tonight was to draw "children's toys", though. Did it all in Krita, just for the heck of it.

Challenge #008: My art supplies

The subject of challenge #008 is "My art supplies". This is pretty much it. Except for the laptop and my Wacom tablet, but hey, I drew this in a cafe so this was it at the moment.

Challenge #007: A view out of a window

The solution of todays challenge is clearly emotional. I'd really like to just open up the windows to find that I've been fooled to believe it's still winter outside.

Challenge #006: A stack of books

This challenge, I made into a perspective training session. I'm happy with the outcome.

EDIT: Apparently I 'm tired. the date in the drawing is wrong. I managed to flip two digits. Obviously it should be 2015-01-13...

Hands... oh my...

Challenge #003: A pile of unfolded laundry

Drawing challenge subject-o-the-day: A pile of unfolded laundry. This was tough, fabrics, folds and stuff, luckily I've seen a fair share of these types of piles... Anyway, turned out pretty cool, not realistic, not scientific, but kind of cool looking.

Challenge #002: A glass of water

The challenge subject d'jour: A glass of water. I am not very happy with this but, hey, I'm here to learn.

Challenge #001: Old Shoes

After getting the idea to take on a challenge (Challenging myself on a daily basis), yesterday after going to bed I took on the first drawing. The subject was "Old Shoes". I  did this in bed between eleven and midnight. So there's no excuses. Draw, there's always time and place.

Like it? Comment and/or +1 !

Challenging myself on a daily basis.

To challenge my self to draw on a daily basis and to try to draw stuff I don't usually draw I'm going to do a daily drawing challenge type thing.
