InkTober 2015 is here!
I’m going to be participating in #InkTober this year, which is an artist challenge started by Jake Parker where we have to draw and post a new ink drawing (traditional, no digital!) every day of the month of October.
I’m really excited about it, because I really need to force myself to spend more time drawing just for me (no offense, Mr. Client).

October 1st
Tribal Dude
Here is my first entry for InkTober. I drew this surly tribal guy with a big bone in his nose with a Pentel brush pen and gray copic marker.
October 2nd
Worm Man
Day 2 of #InkTober! So here’s a pen and ink sketch of Man-Worm (or Worm-Man, still deciding).
I wish I had a clever artistic reasoning to explain why this image exists, but I’ve got nothing. Thanks for all the love on my first sketch – I’m really excited about this – I haven’t been this motivated to create my own stuff in a while.
October 3rd
Sushi Chef Bug
Third day of #InkTober! I’m really enjoying forcing myself to just have some quick sketching fun on paper again – I need to make this part of my daily routine when October is over. I came up with this idea of alien bug serving sushi. Genius? Ridiculous? Perhaps we’ll never know.
October 4th
Vampire at the Beach
Day 4 of the #Inktober challenge! I drew up this vampire catching a tan on a moonlit beach, sucking back on a Bloody Mary with a Pentel Pocket Brush pen. Looks like this is my entry for the #Drawlloween challenge as well!
October 5th
Clown face throwback
Day 5 of #Inktober! This is a little throwback to a clown face I used to draw a lot when i didn’t know what else to draw. I did a painting of it too a long time ago, which was quite terrible.
October 6th
Witch Surfing
#Inktober Day 6! I brushed out this witch broom-surfing on a wave – witches rarely get to show off their beach bodies.

October 7th
Curse of the Coppertone Mummy
Day 7 of #Inktober is here! Curse of the Coppertone Mummy! This is the most fun I’ve had drawing a mummy butt in years.
October 8th
Zombie Sandcastle
#Inktober Day 8! Building sandcastles with my favorite zombie was always something I enjoyed as a kid.
October 9th
Bunny in a robot
It’s the 9th of #Inktober! I was trying to do a little something different, inspired by the mech ink drawings of Jake Parker, the artist that started this whole nonsence.
October 10th
Blob Alien
And on the 10th day of #Inktober – Not sure what happened here, just sketching a blob alien with the robot equivalent of skinny jeans.
October 11th
Giant Monster Brushing his teeth
#Inktober 11th! I’m happy to say that I haven’t missed a day yet. Today’s theme is giant monsters brushing their teeth with trees. Here’s what I came up with.
October 12th
Nailed it
#Inktober 12th is here! Feeling the pain of having to come up with something new to draw everyday, feels a little like…
October 13th
Big Chin Man
#Inktober 14th’s drawing seems to be a bit inspired by John Kricfalusi (Ren and Stimpy) – such an amazing artist.
October 14th
Fat little creature
For day 13 of #Inktober, I drew this fat little creature. Why do all the characters I draw have horrible teeth?
October 15th
Have a Cigar
This drawing I did for #Inktober Day 15 shows another one of my early sources of inspiration – Todd McFarlane from Spawn. This wasn’t meant to look like the Violator character when I started drawing, but it turned out that way. Pro Drawing Tip: If your character isn’t looking great, stick a cigar in his mouth. Problem solved
October 16th
Angry Fish
Day 16 of #Inktober is here, and I still haven’t missed a day. Though I’ve had to spend less time on some of these than I had wanted. Today’s drawing is an angry fish.
October 17th
Frank the Demon
Happy #Inktober and #Drawlloween ! This is a drawing of one of the most feared and mysterious #demons in the darkest depths of the underworld. His friends call him Frank.
October 18th
Tiki Mask
Day 18 of #Inktober and #Drawlloween – My brain wasn’t working today, so I decided to draw my go-to idea when I’m out of ideas: the tiki #mask.
October 19th
Buck-Toothed Vampire
#Inktober 19 is here, and so am I. I drew up this buck-toothed vampire inspired by Nosferatu with a Pentel pocket brush pen.
October 20th
Bionic Superhero Chick
For #inktober 20th, I wanted to draw something completely different, so I sketched out this tough bionic superhero chick. I’m ready do discuss movie rights.
October 21st
Adorable little Creature serving up Sushi
For Day 21 of #Inktober , I came up with this adorable little creature serving up sushi. Makes sense to me. Drawn with a Pentel Brush pen.
October 22nd
Scary Clown
Day 22 of #Inktober has arrived, and it’s time to draw more scary clowns.
October 23rd
Bookish Squid Monster
For day 23 of the #Inktober challenge, I drew this ink drawing of a bookish squid monster. I’m not sure why, but this is one of my favorites for the whole month.
October 24th
Tiki Head
Here’s my ink drawing for the 24th day of #inktober – STILL haven’t missed a day! This #tiki head drawing was found in the dense jungles of South America.
October 25th
Tiki Ink
Back to back #tiki ink drawings for #Inktober ! This was a concept I had sketched out a while ago and always wanted to bring it to life. I really dig this idea – I might take this further and make it into a t-shirt design at some point.
October 26th
Big Angry Screaming Flaming Head
It’s Day 26 of the #Inktober challenge, and it’s time of a big angry screaming flaming head. Long overdue I think.
October 27th
Weird Creature
On the 27th Day of #Inktober , my pen brush brought to me, some kind of weird naked creature with bad teeth and misshapen head.
October 28th
Abe Lincoln?
Just a couple days away from the end of the #Inktoberchallenge, and it looks like I’m going to make it (and not miss a day). Here’s a nice drawing of a guy who looks like Abe Lincoln for absolutely no reason at all.
October 29th
Mad Scientist
I sketched this squirrely mad scientist in pen and ink for day 29 of #Inktober
October 30th
Smiley Goblin
Happy Hallow’s Eve Eve! Here’s a smiley goblin ink drawing for day 30 of #inktober – When I find myself with little time to work on one of these sketches, I often draw them on smaller paper (this one is about 2.5″ tall) to keep me from getting too bogged down and work more efficiently. Definitely a great exercise.
October 31st
Evil Clown
Happy Halloween! The end of the #Inktober challenge has arrived, and I DID it – I drew and posted an ink drawing every day this month.
