For Inktober this year, I am following along with Lisa Congdon’s CreativeBug course. I’ve made a few extra rules for myself for an extra challenge which includes trying to maintain a mostly black and white theme. Excited to see where it takes me.

Pen and ink and Procreate for color

Pen doodle done in work. No idea where any of it came from or what it means. The best kind of doodle.

Pen drawing of the gate into St Cedmas Church in Larne, Northern Ireland. I got married in the church in 2004. My wife’s parents were married here too in the 1960s.

Millicent - Crouching Hare

This is from one of my older sketchbooks. I used salt on the red watercolor paint while it was still wet to get the textured background effect.

Fineliner sketch that depicts a forest full of drunk animals in various states. We have all been their in some shape or form.

Beware of the desert island anglerfish, which lies in wait for shipwrecked sailors and curious cruise ships.

I found a Gap ad in a 90s Vanity Fair magazine; the background was completely white, perfect for doodling a background on it. I also highlighted the woman's freckles and lips with a bronze Sharpie.

Ampersandoodles — that's what I call these. I'll doodle on anything, as long as the surface allows it.
