Inktober 2019: day 5 - dip pen and liquid ink
Isaac doesn’t always know how to pass the time at night. I had the idea for this one a few days ago but I had to save it for the weekend so I’d have enough time. I probably could have pushed the lighting a bit further, but I ran out of Saturday.
Inktober 2019: day 9 - dip pen and ink wash
The Mirror Twins have spotted a potential new friend.
I’m getting really tired so I tried to keep this one simple, but it actually took longer than yesterday’s picture!
Inktober 2019: day 20 - mapping pen
It’s not clear to anyone why Coda attracts so many butterflies.
I went for something simple again because I’m tabling at London MCM this weekend and I’m starting to panic a little bit!
Inktober 2019: day 31 - mapping pen and ink wash
The Mirror Twins and their friend wish you a happy Hallowe’en! Be careful who you greet after dark.
I posted a terrible, late-night photo of this on twitter just to prove I finished it on time, because it was so close to midnight!
And so ends another Inktober, it was much harder to keep up now that I have a full-time job. I might have to work at half the size next year. I couldn’t keep up with scanning and posting them at all towards the end either, but I did still draw them on the right days. I’m not perfectly happy with every piece, but I feel very accomplished!
Here I am, frantically posting the rest of Inktober 2020 before Inktober 2021 starts!
I’ve done Inktober every year since 2013, so I was quite upset that I couldn’t finish it in 2020. I kept trying for the whole month, but I only managed a few sketches. If you squint you can see there are two dates on some of these - those are the ones that were at least sketched on the right day, the others were backfilled months later.
I’m going to try again this year, so hold your thumbs for me!

He didn’t remember anything. He just woke up there, as if he had been sleeping.

The sickness is worst at this time of year.

Most horse chestnut trees in the UK are infected with a fungal disease that causes extensive leaf damage in late Summer.

Mushrooms on the ground, woodsmoke in the air.

Inktober 2021 completed with just under 2 hours to spare! (I finished this at about 10:20pm on the 31st.) Happy Halloween!
It's that other time again! Inktober time! I wasn't just doing 3minJimin, I've been doing Inktober too. There's always a time lag on sharing these because I do them two to a page, but I do draw them on the right day.
Here's the cover page, and a warm-up drawing I did on the 29th of September.
Not as tempting without the glamour.

Inktober 2022 Day 8: Dip pen
You could tell it was the weekend because I used the bottle of liquid ink. I don't dare to carry it to and from work.
Not as musical without the glamour either.

Inktober 2022 Day 31: dip pen and ink wash
Last one! As usual, finished with about 2 hours to midnight. I was screamingly busy at London MCM Comic Con for the last 5 days (including travel and packing/unpacking etc.) so I'm really pleased that I managed to keep going to the end.
This makes 5 of the Mirror Twins for Hallowe'en, so I'll probably get them printed as postcards like the 5 Tabitha drawings. Who should I pick for the next series?
Made this 3-page comic when I was doing SAIC's ECPSI last summer, I think it has good vibes
I doubt Evan even has a tumblr but if you see this!! Hey buddy!
Drawing 9/4/2013
Sketchbook doodle: "Reproductive instinct: a brief introduction." Using a dip pen and Pelikan drawing ink again after many months of only using Copic multiliner SP pens.
