Inktober day 5 - chicken, suspense

The prompts for this were supposed to be chicken and suspense. But I couldn't imagine a way to combine those two.  I thought about having a chicken wearing suspenders.  But finally settled on a chicken crossing a suspension bridge.


Actually, it was going to be a series of chickens crossing the bridge.  But they would have gotten pretty small pretty quick.  And I didn't feel like spending a half hour filling the bridge with bobbing little heads.

Inktober day 1 - poisonous, title

It's Inktober again!

This year I decided to do a mashup between Jake Parker's official prompts and the ones put out by Book Riot.  Featuring cute cartoon critters.

St Christopher

Fourth Sunday at PAM

Today's challenge was to use shading to highlight the focus of the our sketch, leaving the unimportant bits to fade off into the background.  Or something like that.  There were supposed to be thick outlines in the unimportant parts as well.


We all met in the cafe afterwards, to pass sketchbooks and gossip, and then trooped out to have a look at Chris' new retiremobile - a big van with all the amenities of home.  Plus a table with sketching supplies within easy reach.  He's planning a trip this winter to visit the southeast.
