Last year got me into a flurry of drawing activity, which has somewhat waned, so it'll be good to do this again... here's the 2019 prompts
https://inktober.com/rules
Hmm "ring" 😆
Anyone else joining in?
I’m still shite at drawing but looking forward to seeing others talents.
Might well have to get the Rotrings out then.
I'm sure he won't me posting this up, but this is a local illustrator to me - Scott Sadler. He uses ink washes and pens. His stuff is absolutely amazing as he has a really different and interesting take on distorting perspective.
Heres his image some of you will recognise - Lee Quarry

...it'll be November by the time you've got them cleaned up and working again! 🙂
Not any more. Say goodbye to inky-fingered, Rotring-cleaning woes, with Rotring Tikky Graphic pens in every weight, for the bargaintastic £3.50 each 😀
I just got some pens off ebay last year - they're ok, but the plotter paper a fella at work gave me is great, really nice to draw on.
Much as I’d like to take part, I really can’t draw to save my life!
I’m in.
I might be tempted to do a few again this year.
Right, it's a slow day at work so lets get started.
1. Ring
I only came into this thread to look at jonm81's ring piece.
Hey, our first Inktober pic! Nice one 🙂
You're such a smooth talker Perchy. 🤣
How appropriate, the first submission on STW is a bell end.
Oi!
I plan to draw a photo realistic Prince Albert later. 😀
and there was me, ready to link a photo of my new tatt.
<considers suing dezb for misrepresentation>
Did a quickie for Ring
It's a start 🙂
Is that Cougar?
Is that Cougar?
No, Ring, not bellend. 😉
Love the pics, chaps. @Malvern Rider - so jealous of folk who can draw from their imagination. V cool.
Is that Cougar?
Hey!
No, Ring, not bellend. 😉
HEY!!
Can't say "Mindless" is inspiring me either.

Great pictures everyone.
First attempt at caricature.
2. Mindless
@Jonm81 that's brilliant.
So you started with a bell end on 1st October and on the 2nd you drew a ...
Yay! I did a Trump caricature last year, I could've stuck that up 🙂
Bit too flattering for the PM, maybe? 😉
Really need to get a start on this year's prompts, at least do a few of them, but as usual I never seem to find the time. Loving the content so far!

I'm not too happy with tonight's effort but I can't be arsed to do another one.
3. Bait
Really didn't like the fish so:
Worms was the first game I bought as a kid. Came on 3 floppy disks. It's still awesome today.
Worms is the first game I ever played. Me and my mate were in hysterics (we weren't kids)(well not in age terms) 🙂
4. Freeze
Loving these. Good work guys, I'm in awe.
5. Build
Lovely stuff. Too much ridin' and rugby to do anything proper. But here's my 'Build' pic, with apologies to a certain STWer 🙂
But here’s my ‘Build’ pic, with apologies to a certain STWer
😀 😀 😀
Anyway here's my entry for "build":
(and got me some mixed-media paper today, works lovely with my cheapo Lidl watercolour pens 🙂 )
🙂 I was struggling for something for build but that's genius DezB
Also:
Not much of a chance today. Just a building in the distance. Concept sketch for an art installation...mayby.
Poor neighbours had a leak/flood a few days ago. I also today spied a little M C Escher book in the charity shop (a smaller edition of one I used to have). Didn’t buy it. So inspired, redid this old sketch from earlier in the year:
‘Insomnia’ (or ‘Tessellating & Turning’)
Redthunder - that landscape is ace by my reckoning. Is it opposite Lydney?
@malvern
Thanks for the kind words 🙂
Not quite oppisite Lydney but a little bit further downstream. Similar litteral terrain though.

Its only just starting off so its a bit quiet at the moment.
and coming up...Textiles at Black Rock
http://www.severnsideart.co.uk/2019/09/23/textiles-at-black-rock/
May see you all there 😉
PS all top work above thread ...keep them coming.
I’m determined to learn to draw. Been trying on and off for a few years but never really cracked it. Inktober seems a good place to start though so will attempt a few of the themes that take my fancy.
This is my effort for Ring. Excuse the crudeness but I’m still pretty happy - pretty much only my second ever effort at a serious sketch. The last one was some years ago...
Edit: should say this was drawn using my iPad Pro and AutoDesk SketchBook.
Bit boring, but reminds me of a day on holiday with my boy (more of him later, as they say) when the snow had all but disappeared and there were huskies sat panting in the sun and we went and said hello to them. Beautiful dogs.
And the boy's effort. Has more imagination than me, clearly 🙂
I hate drawing dogs (well, anything with fur actually)
6. Husky
7. Enchanted
Went a bit wrong, but it’s done, so it’s going up. Supposed to be Amy Adams Cos she’s, like in the film.. but I was enchanted by her brilliant acting in Sharp Objects so done her off of that (sort of)
8. Frail
Is that that fella what married a 14 year old? 😆 (see [url= https://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/listening-to-music-made-by-artists-whove-turned-out-to-be-wronguns ]here[/url] )
Late, but it could be said that I am both disenchanted with the theme and the outcome! Tis somewhat representative of being carted off to a National Trust house or places like Stone Henge, and all the adults being 'Enchanted' with the surroundings, whereas I the kid was always much more impressed with the packet of Dolly Mix from the petrol station, heathen I know!
I love the enchanted wood 🙂
@palmer77
I sketched this during a meeting. The only reference to the meeting is in the too left corner.
Another Frail
Reed and Indian Ink
No, beg yer pardon, I thought it was The Killer 😉 It appears he didn't go frail. (just seen it's in the tags)

Are you the desperate character trying to escape the figurative meeting 🙂
9. Swing
10. Pattern
A day late:
Good stuff, keep em coming 🙂
Been to busy to commit and I'm rubbish at quick stuff 🙁
