Warning! It's October and that means...Inktober!

Don't worry I probably won't post every day, especially while I'm away in Venice and Manchester, but today being Day 1, it's getting it's own post.
Herewith may I present a Pumpkin headed witch, mixing poisonous potions in her potion bottles.
2018 Inktober Day 1 - Tombow calligraphy pen
I sketched lightly in HB pencil then inked with a Tombow calligraphy pen. The pic is 4"x3" because I thought this year I'd try and keep them small.

I couldn't decide which prompt to go with from the four prompt lists I'd found, so this is actually all four in one picture! LOL
The official Inktober prompt was poisonous, the [community profile] drawesome  one was potions and bottles, #mabsdrawlloweenclub was Witch, while #drawtober2018 provided the pumpkin head.

Haha kudos to working all four promptsinto one piece! I really like the fun but scary vibe this has. She is so gleeful! Rowena approves.

You are quite right of course. It would be perfectly in character for her :-)

Hee! I love the creativity that came out of combining all those prompts. Kinda like mixing up a potion! *g*

Aww, that's adorable! I love the way you combined the prompts, and the balance of white/black is really great.

Lovely, and great movement in it. I like her off the shoulder gown!

question. Where do you get the prompts for Inktober? Or do you do what you want?

[identity profile] amberdreams.livejournal.com 2018-10-01 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
There are lots of different places with prompts (or yep, you can do your own).
I'm in a little drawing community on DW which have their own list here or...

Sorry I linked to last year's for Mabs and now the correct link is all weird. It should be this one.

This is truly fabulous! I can’t believe it’s October already.

Me neither - and thank you! It was a fun one to do!

A perfect inkober flavour, with so many details too!!!

Details aren't usually my forte so yay!

Thankee!

Wonderful work! I love this. I'm mostly posting on my Instagram for this event. I never thought to check out my LJ f-list for other Inktober/Drawlloween peeps.

Oh what's your instagram handle? I love seeing what other people are coming up with.

I'm posting all over the place LOL.
