Inktober 29: Grass Cutting

I was short on time today, so of course I chose a nice and simple topic…

In Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park in London traditional methods of grass cutting are in use to keep the soil healthy and protect the local wildlife. That means that if you’re lucky, you might see these handsome fellows at work while you’re there.

Inktober 28: Old Man and the City

This quick sketch of people relaxing under an olive tree in Rabin Square, Tel Aviv, was drawn entirely with a Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pen – Double-Sided – Gray/Black, which is a hard, durable (for a brush pen), waterproof brush pen which has become a staple in my drawing kit. Highly recommended, especially if you’re new to brush pens, or plan to use them with watercolours.

Inktober 27: Passiflora and Abaddon

Drawn with dip pen, and inked with brush pens and Uniball Emott.

Inktober 26: Sunrise

Inktober 25: The Garden

Inktober 24: Curiosity

The left part of the spread is my cat, in Tel Aviv (ink only). The right side of the spread is from a photo I took in a patisserie in Paris, France (ink and watercolour).

Inktober 23: City Spirits

Done! This was a nice and interesting challenge. The characters in order from right to left are: Abaddon (Doom), Carthage, Tokyo, Rome, London, Jerusalem, Haifa, Tel Aviv.

Inktober 22: London and Jerusalem

I thought I’d be done with this drawing by now, but I didn’t have much time today. Here are the past posts on the characters from the local play “The Mystery of the Lost City Guardian (of Doom)”. Today Jerusalem and London are complete.

Inktober 21: Abaddon, Carthage, Tokyo and Rome walk into a bar

I’m almost done with my larger Inktober project, but I won’t be able to finish it today. Here are the past two posts on the characters from the local play “The Mystery of the Lost City Guardian (of Doom)”. Today Abaddon, Carthage, Tokyo and Rome are complete.

Inktober 20: Tokyo and Rome

I’ve decided to draw the main characters from the local play “The Mystery of the Lost City Guardian (of Doom)” as a larger Inktober project. Today it’s Tokyo and Rome’s turn.

Here’s the inking before the watercolour was applied:

And I’ve sketched three more characters (London, Jerusalem and Haifa). Only Tel Aviv remains:
