I’m behind schedule, but decided to do inktober for the first time ever. No idea what I’m doing and the first one is meh, but I’m “running” with it. I started this sketch yesterday, but was super busy and quickly finished today. I think I’ll be done with today’s sketch sometime this evening.

I know I’ll forget, fall behind, or just give up before the end of the month, but got today’s done on time. 😅

Also, 3 more days until it’s been exactly 1 year since I started drawing on these remarkable paper pro e-ink tablets.

This was a fun one! 😅 I almost gave up on today because I started sketching a baseball batter hitting a ball and just could not get the form right at the angle I wanted.

Anyways, today is exactly 1 year since I posted my first sketch after buying a remarkable paper pro. It’s been the best sketchbook I’ve ever owned.

Already a day behind. 🥲 And this one sucks because I don’t like drawing ogres. 😅

Tangent, but I redrew this in Adobe Fresco (still working on it so will share when I’m done) and it’s always fun to run them through the Pixelz tool.

A quick image of my character that was drawn in Fresco. I created the simple pattern in the Patternz app and added all the texture using Distrez. It’s so fun to be able to quickly experiment like this.

Image of female character with long red hair, wearing a cap with a pierced ear ring. She’s wearing clothing from my REBL branding and continued in a rectangular design.

Getting somewhere with this character design.

Another fresco drawing. I think I have a good system going. Do my sketches on my Remarkable and then retrace and color as vector art in Fresco.

It’s kind of neat to be able to apply different textures to different areas of an image based on tone and color.

@mark My personal opinion on you not getting too much interaction on your artwork, while awesome, has been the shift to folks running a client that feeds both Mastodon & Bluesky…I have purchased an Ivory sub but am waiting for Phoenix. I know alternatives exist but often forget that I need to switch between apps because I’d rather give my money to folks versus the Indigo folks…no shade, just loyalty. @Tapbots ❤️

@airboss I don’t think that has anything to do with it. I post the same posts there and get crickets too. I think I just suck at social media. 🙂
