Day 2: Tranquil

@aska Thank you!

@teju-abiola Aww thanks! I love your work, too. Your faces are so soft. I am not brave enough to try ink washing yet on my skin tones. I thought about it here. I loved doing this piece so I didn't want to mess isit up.

Side note: I will always appreciate my 5th grade teacher who made my cursive handwriting be so pretty I can use it as art. And I will always hear "you have the prettiest handwriting ...for a guy."

Here we are on day 2! I recently had a cat who passed away, and today's tranquil prompt seemed absolutely perfect to memorialize him. So here is my little guy in one of his favorite napping positions, dreaming of wet food, because he would have absolutely no clue what to do with a real fish haha

Day 2: Tranquil
not really succesful this time:face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

So here is Day 2 (Tranquil) - funny @theemkat also drew something cute sleeping

Short question: I opened a topic for my challenge as i first thought this is the way to go in the forums.
Should i instead post that here or can i do it here AND in my thread (keeping my drawings collected). Just asking, THX!

@crud42 Great minds think alike! I love how cozy yours is (except the poor rabbit of course)

"Roasted"

Oh man, Ink is not as easy as it seems. I had some issues mixing the ink wash over some ink pen lines I did. Seems like the ink from the pen is water soluble...hence when there is a slightly different colouring on the floor of the "cave".

Bummer. Oh well, that's the whole point of inktober - to learn something new. Seems like I'm feeling the learning part of it. haha.

Oh and a special shoutout to everyone that followed me on Instagram. Loving the support.

@crud42 re posting don’t think it matters either way - whatever works for you

Inktober Day 2. I had told myself I wasn't going to do Inktober because I have too many things on the go......
I did this one while watching Midsomer Murders....

Miriam · 2 Oct 2018, 23:12

@missmushy I should have done this, too! Maybe I'll get a head start next time.

Miriam · 2 Oct 2018, 23:18

@chrisaakins Even Jake says it's ok to start early if you want!

Heather Boyd · 2 Oct 2018, 23:48

@miss-beans midsummer murders. Fantastic! Are you watching the new season? Anyways I love your owl, reminds me of an old English cottage style illustration that I think fits right in with midsummer, not the murders lols.

JennyJones · 3 Oct 2018, 00:19

@miss-beans I have been illustrating while watching Midsomer Murders too. Does not matter that I have seen them all (and some more than once). I LOVE your owl.

Miss.Beans · 3 Oct 2018, 00:39

@heather-boyd I'm still watching the old episodes! We're working our way through. I love that sort of programming. Vera is my favourite! Thank you for your kind words about the owl, you're right it does fit in with the English countryside.

Miss.Beans · 3 Oct 2018, 00:42

@jennyjones Thank you! It is a good show to draw to.

chrisaakins · 3 Oct 2018, 01:15

@miriam But the RULES!!!! Hahaha. I like the anticipation. I feel like it's Christmas. I have been penciling in advance as ideas come to me.

Miriam · 3 Oct 2018, 01:29

@miss-beans This is adorable! I think I need to try the Inktense pencils!

Miriam · 3 Oct 2018, 03:15

@chrisaakins Ha, ha! That's why I mentioned Jake--he made the rules!
But yeah, do it the way that makes you happy!
