Hello all! I'm dropping in for another Inktober update. The last seven days have had their ups and downs, but I've managed to keep up the daily practice. It's been a battle some days, and others the pen and paint have definitely been flowing with more ease. See what you think...
Day 8
Day 9
Day 10
Day 11
Day 12
Day 13
Day 14
And once again, since the point of Inktober is really the drawing, here are a couple of process photos so you can see how they start out...
I continue to learn huge amounts as I go. I think the drawings themselves are getting better (last year I was very dependent on the watercolours to rescue me from rather inadequate drawing skills), and I'm really starting to understand the value of proper darks.
I hope you're all doing okay and are getting to enjoy some autumn sunshine. It's pretty glorious here in the Czech Republic most days, and the leaves are just starting to turn from green to gold to red.
Love love love your drawings. If I had to choose a favourite, it would be the leaf. Beautiful pieces Alison! Glad you are liking your new place. Be safe!
ReplyDeleteLove them all, can't choose. Where did you find the Penny Bun? I hope in our garden! Or possibly on the bookshelf ;-)

They are all wonderful, but I think I liked Day 12 with those dried/dying leaves best.
ReplyDeleteThey look like photos, so realistic, the leaves are my fav. too. Esp. Since we know they will be gone soon.

Wow! Yes your drawing has improved tremendously. They’re stunning Alison absolutely stunning. Hugs
ReplyDeleteAh yes, I meant to say that about your drawing too xx
ReplyDeleteAll of them are beautiful! Your drawing has improved from last year and it was good back then.
ReplyDeleteMore fabulous drawings Alison. I especially love those dead and torn leaves hanging off the branch. Happy weekend. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWow and double Wow - these are stunning Alison. Your painting has always been beautiful and accomplished and these are all stunning works of art. I took a double take at the leaf, I thought it was a photo and needed quite a close look to make sure it wasn't a real one!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend,
Diana xx
wow is all I can say. If I could draw like that I don't know that I would ever stop. you have an amazing body of work so far. happy to see your progress through the month. thanks as always for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm always in awe of your inktober watercolours ♥
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful post and loved scrolling through it Alison. Such creativity and extra loving day 9 but of course loving them all. Thanks for sharing x.
ReplyDeleteThe rendering is just fabulous, Alison! Practice makes perfect, of course, but natural talent helps! Things should be pretty good here but I am suffering (unexpectedly I might add) with empty nest syndrome. Oh well I might get an extended craft room out of it...

Just beautiful. You have captured all of these so realistically and your use of light and shade is perfect.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet xx
So beautiful and inspiring!
