Very good, that pregnant one.
I tried (a bit of) colour in my "swollen" - problem is, it looks fine from a bit of distance, but up close a bit of a mess, so annnyway (squint) -
Further away 😀
Bottle:
Great couple of drawings Dez.
Thanks Jonm, enjoying getting a bit of colour in as always done b&w.
I keep thinking about doing something in colour but fancy the challenge of getting through with 3 pens and a pad of paper which cost less than £2 in total.
Turns out drawing glass is damn hard. I gave up after the third attempt below.

Can I just say,
I don't have an artistic bone in my body. I'm sincerely in awe of some of the posts on this thread. There's some real talent here.
Turns out drawing glass is damn hard.
Certainly with ink... which is one of the reasons I went for a different bottle 🙂
Not only did I lose count a few days ago it turns out I can't spell either.

Getting a bit self conscious being the only one posting on this thread.

Going well, jon!
Can’t believe nobody else posting. Busy over the weekend.. and I’ve lost my drawing pad, which is mildy irritating.
Great stuff peeps and well done Jon for sticking it at it. Forgot all about this this year. Used last year as springboard to get painting again (which is sporadic at best).
Thanks guys. Losing the will to carry on this week but determined to finish all 31 for the first time.
Guess the book today's is from.
23. Muddy (thick oozy mud)
I'd totally forgotten about this thread. I'm very glad to have found it! Lots of good stuff.
Here's yesterday's effort:

Nice style Twirlips 🙂
Here’s my ‘muddy’
still can’t find me flippin pad 😠
I'm seriously envious of most of the pics on your instagram Twirlips.
Nice muddy bike Dezb. I thought about doing something similar but couldn't figure out how to do the mud splat/spray.
To be fair, the spray is the bit I'm least happy with on mine 🙂
Thanks gents.
I like the mud, @DezB. There's lots of movement in there. Sometimes, all you need is a controlled scribble!
Here's the latest:
I've been struggling with the prompts this year. I had a theme in mind last time but life has been getting in the way. I keep thinking that some of my efforts make decent first-draughts but that there's no time for the final piece. Perhaps that's what November can be for.
@jonm81 I always feel sorry for the bear at the end of that book. Nice drawing.
I always feel sorry for the bear at the end of that book.
Glad it's not just me. I always tell my daughter it is going back to the cave sad as it isn't the bears fault it looks scary and that it only wanted someone to play with.
Got a bit of colour envy, then my birthday got in the way of doing any more:

@jonm81 Exactly. It looks so forlorn. I suppose, by saying these things, we may be giving our offspring a very poor sense of what bears are really like. If my daughter ends up being eaten by a bear I shall blame that book.
Great diver Mogrim.
Hong Kong Phooey today!

Quickie for tonight
Tried twice to do a real hedgehog but they looked absolutely shite so here's Sonic instead.

Playing with Tippex, seems I lack the patience (and probably talent) to do a good job drawing spines!
Here's one:
Inktober 1975
Found it in some old paperwork. My old Roman project from primary school.
#Inktober1975
Inktober 1975.. cool 😀
Won't be around to do any, until "Double" on Monday. Will try to find some Inktober 197x pics to post up too 🙂
Have you ever read 'The Stress of Her Regard' by Tim Powers? It's a good book - though I've forgotten nearly everything about its plot. The copy I got from the library when I was a teenager had a snake lady on the cover. It was by Mark Salwowski. He did lots of Iain Banks covers too. Anyway, a snake lady:
Like the drawings DezB and Twirlip.
Can't post anything from the 70's as, well I'm not as ancient as you guys. Might see if I can find something from the late 80's.

Really couldn't think of anything for Thunder so here is a lightning instead.

28. Gift
That emu's got some character Redthunder. Looks like it is about to pop out the screen and peck you in the face.
29. Double
Thanks Jonm81
I sketched him last night just as a idle doodle, first thoughts for a logo design. I was told to leave it when it had a certain character by the SO. Then I was afraid to do any more 🙂
Liking all the sketches and drawings above 🙂
30. Shock
I did double yesterday. Came out shite! But anyway 😆
Penultimate doodle from me. My early teenage obsessions resurfacing.
Brush pen over pencil. Pretty pleased with my line consistency with the brush.
Found a few Inktober 80s edition... well, they’re all pencil, except this one...
Ian McCulloch, apparently
Pencil, Nastassja Kinski, who I was in Love wiv
“Slice”
@dez
Very good... I wish mine was like that at 6 or 7.
and...
#inktober1975 v #inktober2018
That last one is pretty dark (not dark as in colour) Dez.
Anyway great drawings all. It has been fun but I'm glad it's over for another year.
Final submission.
31. Slice.
Excellent chaps! 😁
I wish mine was like that at 6 or 7.
Teenage years! 😂
Any Instagram Experts shed light on this...
"Top posts from #inktober1975 are currently hidden because the community has reported some content that may not meet Instagram's community guidelines. Learn more"
There only three pics under the tag.
I've seen out there on other tags (frottage) not wax rubbing as I was expecting ... but gentlemens rubbing along on each other. Reported to IG, email straight back saying it meets there guidelines...Wtf.
Might dump IG...I thought it was quite good for a bit.
🙁
Insta-wha?
Who would be up for a dedicated Art/Drawing Sketching STW thread ?
Now that Inktober 2018 has finished.
