I always start off Inktober with such high hopes. But life always gets in the way.

This year, I only completed 22/31 drawings. Here are my top 5.

I used my Copic markers on toned paper for this drawing. I had this idea of drawing from quotes. This one was, “If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk in my garden forever,” from Alfred Lord Tennyson. The quote thing fizzled for me toward the end of Inktober. But I really do love how the colors came out on this drawing.

“If I got rid of my demons, I’d lose my angels.” Tennesee Williams. I dont know if anyone saw the faces in her hair.

This is my most-liked Inktober drawing which is hilarious to me since it’s an inside joke kind of. But, I really did ask my friend at work for a blacklight and it still makes me laugh.

I love this one for obvious reasons… I mean, it’s me 😛 I ended up putting this on my new business card.

Aaaand Totoro doodles to add to a Totoro sticker sheet.

Maybe I’ll do better next year.

Probably not… Hahaha.
