Inktober 2017: Week 3

I'm afraid I fell off the Inktober bandwagon after week 3 this year: I caught a cold, got a sinus infection and discovered that I had two impacted wisdom teeth that need to be removed (and let me tell you, sinus infection and impacted wisdom teeth is not a good combo. I wouldn't wish that on anyone!). I was really sick for several days (and now I am still in pain and my productivity is suffering) so I gave up on completing Inktober. I gave it a good shot and got all the way to Day 21.

I started out the week with no very clear idea about what I was going to be doing, so I did a vaguely 20s-inspired witch, but she doesn't look very 20s...

I also made a sped-up video of this, testing out the old camcorder that I suddenly remembered we had. Unfortunately it's way too old to actually have a timelapse function, so I sped it up in Adobe Premiere Pro:

I needed to do a test with our camcorder (which I just remembered we had, and dug out of the cupboard) and adobe premiere pro, so I thought I’d film my #inktoberday15 and see how I went making a sped-up film. Sorry about the black bars- still learning!! 💜 . . . #inktober #inktober2017 #witch #1920s #magic #spell #pentelbrushpen #artistsoninstagram #artistatwork #ink #timelapse #timelapsevideo #drawing #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #kidlitartist

Then I did a sketchy little piece revisiting my little witch with the goose:

After that I switched to drawing my dog, Myrna. She's always a good subject:

Day 21:

All of these were done with a Pentel Brush Pen and either Copic Multiliners or Artline Drawing System Pens (except for the brown in the Myrna sketches, which was a Pigma Micron) in a Moleskine Watercolour sketchbook (apart from the sketchy witch-and-goose, which is in a standard Moleskine sketchbook)
