Made only using a tiny bit of reference (for the dragon and the hydrant, actually). The wings were difficult. Dragons shouldn’t have wings, I say.

Inktober 2019 #11: Snow
In which Angry Carrot declares innocence at the scene of the crime.
Inktober 2019 #10: Pattern
Or for pedants, patterns. This is very unoriginal and took a surprisingly long time to cobble together (I scrapped and redrew several of the patterns).
Inktober 2019 #9: Swing
Featuring the evil rutabaga known as Lenny that was part of my Angry Carrot comic.
Inktober 2019 #8: Frail
The egg was strangely difficult to draw.
Inktober 2019 #7: Enchanted
Probably more accurate to call this one Cursed, really. I did reference a photo of a frog for this because otherwise my frog would have looked like a blob with sticks. I probably could have still managed the crown, though.
Inktober 2019 #6: Husky
I tried to draw the dog version of husky and my hands and brain were both, “No, you need years more of practice before you can do this” so I drew a big husky guy with weird-looking legs instead.
Inktober 2019 #5: Build
I think I could have built a robot in less time than it took me to draw one. How can simple things take so long? Anyway, I call this, “How giant robots built the pyramids, on the next Ancient Aliens.”
Inktober 2019 #4: Freeze
“Freeze” might seem easy, but my mind, er, froze, when trying to come up with something. I finally managed this abominable snowmugging.
Inktober 2019 #2: Mindless
With a bit of color this time. Is this against the rules? Pink doesn’t cost extra in digital ink.
Inktober 2019 #1: Ring
I tried drawing a ring, like the kind you wear on your finger. It’s harder than you think. Harder for me, anyway. Then I thought of showing a phone ringing, but phones are hard to draw, too. I thought, “What is really easy to draw that also rings? A stick man!”
Well, actually, stick men don’t ring. So I improvised. Here’s my first entry in Inktober 2019, a stick men hanging over a pit of spikes on an exercise ring. Ironically, the one part I cheated on by using a shape is the ring itself.
This is actually one of several drawings I made. I spent a long time working on something else and it sucked corn dogs. Such is art.
Tools used:
- Procreate (for the overall sketch) using the Studio Pen brush
- iPad Pro 10.5 inch
- Apple Pencil (the first one, which is approximately five meters long)
- Affinity Photo for adding the ring (Windows version)
I’m doing Inktober 2019!
No, really. I’m going to do an ink drawing (digitally on my iPad) every day, using the prompts, which are as follows:
I’m going with the “do whatever I can in five minutes” approach, so there’s no huge commitment. Will it result in magic or madness? We’ll find out starting tomorrow!
And just so I don’t forget, here are the official rules from the Inktober site:
- Make a drawing in ink (you can do a pencil under-drawing if you want)
- Post it
- Hashtag it with #inktober and #inktober2019
- Repeat
