A black and white ink drawing of a giant statue of Frankenstein eating a hamburger. The statue is coming out of the roof of a Burger King, and has a roller coaster above its head.

Here in Niagara Falls I have a pretty famous landmark I could draw… but instead I did Hamburger Frankenstein! This is in the tourist attraction area adjacent to the natural wonder :)

Thanks! I can’t believe the month is almost over.

Black and white ink drawing of someone’s hand carving the body of a violin. It is surrounded by curls of wood shavings.

Inktober 30/31 “Violin”

It took some time for this one to click for me. I had no ideas. But once I figured it out, I really enjoyed working on this piece. Let me know what you think!

A black and white ink drawing of a hawk flying towards a gloved hand in the foreground.

Inktober 29/31 “Navigator”

I originally made this for “guidebook” when I thought it was “guided”. Luckily I was able to save it for this one. It’s one of my favourites.

A black and white ink drawing of a strange vintage photo. The image shows two people in black dresses sitting next to each other. They each have giant globe-like heads that are damaged.

Inktober Day 28: “Jumbo”

So this is weird right? I love a vintage oddity like this one. But what is going on here? What do you think?

#inktober #inktober2024 #oddities #halloween

A black and white ink drawing of a realistic roadrunner being chased by a realistic coyote.

Inktober 27/31 “Road”

A real roadrunner and a real coyote. I thought this would be a fun one. What do you think? Are they weird in the real world?

#inktober #inktober #coyote #roadrunner

Thanks! Glad you like it :)

A black and white ink drawing of a vintage camera.

Inktober 26/31: “Camera”

I love how old cameras look. I just wanted to focus on the object in this one. I hope you like it!

#inktober #inktober2024 #camera #vintage

A black and white ink drawing of a scarecrow in a fenced off garden. Behind the garden are the buildings of an urban landscape.

Inktober 25/31 “Scarecrow”

For this one, I wanted to put the scarecrow in a more urban setting. Like rooftop/community garden. Let me know what you think.

#inktober #inktober2024 #garden #urbangarden

A black and white ink drawing of a team of huskies taking a break in the snow.

Inktober 24/31: “Expedition”

Another prompt that feels like “hike, trek, roam” - prompts we’ve already seen this month. So why not use it to draw a bunch of dogs! Hope you like it.

#inktober #inktober2024 #dogs #husky

A black and white inkdrawing of a chickadee perched in the middle of a rusty iron spiral.

Inktober Day 23: “Rust”

I like the delicate bird on the hard textured iron. I wanted something diffeent from Day 16’s “grungy”. Which do you like better this or the risty lock?

#inktober #inktober2024 #birds

Thanks!

Inktober Day 22: “Camp” A couple of unexpected guests. I was very happy to hit on this bear idea. Loved hatching all that fur. #inktober #inktober2024 #camping #outdoors

Inktober Day 22: “Camp”

A couple of unexpected guests. I was very happy to hit on this bear idea. Loved hatching all that fur.

#inktober #inktober2024 #camping #outdoors

Thanks! I appreciate it :)

Black and white ink drawing of a rhinoceros beetle on a branch.

Inktober Day 21: “Rhinoceros”

This one was a last minute change from an actual Rhinoceros. I’m happy with the change. Let me know what you think!

#inktober #inktober2024 #insects #bugs

A black and white ink drawing of a child sitting in a suitcase pretending to be sailing a boat. They have a newspaper pirate hat, a stuffed shark and is looking through a cardboard tube.

Inktober 20/31 “Uncharted”

Definitely the hardest prompt for me this month. It took me forever to come up with something. But I’m glad I took the time. Pretty happy with the result - what do you think?

#inktober #inktober2024 #kidart

A black and white ink drawing of a wooden shack build on the edge of cliff. The area is surrounded my hills and trees.

Inktober 19/31 “Ridge”

How is everyone doing with Inktober? I hoped this prompt would be quick and easy, but I liked how it was going and spend some extra time on the details. How are you doing?

#inktober #inktober2024 #mountains

Black and white ink drawing of a man from the 1930s driving inside the giant loop of a one-wheeled monocycle.

Inktober 18/31 “Drive”

Here’s a fun contraption. It based on a vintage photo from the 1930s. Do you have any favourite old machines from history.

#inktober #inktober2024 #motorcycle

A black and white ink drawing of two hands, handcuffed, and resting outside of prison bars. On the wall behind are hash marks counting days.

Inktober Day 17: “Journal”

This is a redemption piece for something I scrapped during last year’s Inktober. I hope it’s not depressing. Let me know what you think!

#inktober #inktober2024 #hands

A black and white ink drawing of rusty old padlock.

Inktober 16/31 “Grungy”

A grungy old lock with a load of rusty texture! I had so much fun stippling this and layering on the grime. Hope you LIKE it and FOLLOW me for more!

#inktober #inktober2024 #antique

A black and white ink drawing of a child holding an evil book. The book is glowing and tentacles are spilling out.

Inktober 15/31 “Guidebook”

I thought the prompt was something different. When I realized the mistake I had to do a new drawing. It’s a bit rushed but I like it. What do you think?

#inktober #inktober2024 #horror #spooky

Thanks!

A black and white ink drawing of a cat climbing over a fence from one yard to another.

Inktober 14/31 “Roam”

I love cats - though I’m more of a dog person. How about you? I wasn’t sure about this prompt, so I fell back in animal drawing. Hope you like it!

#inktober #inktober2024 #cats

A black and white ink drawing of ruins on a hilltop. The hill is surrounded by trees.

Inktober 13/31 “Horizon”

These are the ruins of Castell Dinas Brân. I saw them on a canal tour through Llangollen, Wales. The hilltop really helps with the vertical landscape composition.

#inktober #inktober2024 #wales

Black and white ink drawing of an astronaut running away from a T-Rex through a jungle.

Inktober 12/31 “Remote”

They’re in the remote past. I do love some retro futurist business, but throw in some dinosaurs? I’m sold. Hope you like it too!

#inktober #inktober2024 #scifi #dinosaur

A black and white ink drawing of a bunch of Venus fly traps. One of the traps have caught a fly.

Inktober 11/31 “Snacks”

Some Venus Fly Traps! I thought they would work well for the prompt. What do you think?

#inktober #inktober2024

Black and white ink drawing of a rock in a desert with a path behind it in the sand to show that it has moved.

Inktober 10/31 “Nomadic”

This is a “sailing rock” from Death Valley. Until recently it was a mystery how they moved across the lakebed. New tech revealed that thin sheets of ice propelled in across the ground.

#inktober #inktober2024

Black and white ink drawing of a hot air balloon. The balloon is eclipsing the sun causing a lens flare. There is a tree below in the foreground.

Inktober 9/31 “Sun”

This one is based on a balloon I saw in Niagara Falls during the summer. And it just happened to be out that day taking reference photos! What do you think?
