If this fella made an appearance it would feel more like "Roc-tober"! For day 13 I drew the two-headed bird ( " with the wingspan of a jet airliner" as noted in the 7th Voyage of Sinbad trailer) on top of the Rock with a glass pen & ink from Italy. . . . . . . . . . . . . #inktober #inktober2019 #inktoberday13 #ink #inking #october #sketchbook #sketch #glasspens #glasspen #drawing #monsters #monster #myth #mythology #sinbad #topoftherock #rockefellercenter #newyorkcity #skyline #bird #birdofprey #egg #hatching #hatchingeggs https://www.instagram.com/p/B3mzeeogAgd/?igshid=e1hsoaqw276d

These two would prefer it to be called "Lock-and-Shock - tober"! On day 12 I used a Micron to mimic the Burtonesque look of these characters. . . . . . . . . #inktober #inktober2019 #inktoberday12 #ink #inking #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #october #nightmarebeforechristmas #timburton #devil #witch #barrel https://www.instagram.com/p/B3lTHp2gMcy/?igshid=bgd2pldinpel

If this guy was parasitically pestering your spacecraft, it'd feel more like "Mynock-tober"! You'll have to rewatch The Empire Strikes Back if you're perplexed...For day 10, this guy was also drawn with a dying, nondescript marker and I cut him out, gave him life with the addition of a suction cup and he was attaching himself all around the place! . . . . . . . . . . . #inktober #inktober2019 #inktoberart #inktoberday10 #ink #inking #marker #markers #markersketch #markerdrawing #markerdrawings #october #starwars #mynock #alien #aliens #sciencefiction #milleniumfalcon #empirestrikesback #80s #80smovies #80smovie https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ewwl0gDO0/?igshid=oxfya3jbri8y

This guy would be OK with it being called "Dreadlock-tober"! For day 9 I drew Marley's ghost with a dying blue Faber-Castell PITT brush pen, choking the last life out of it before it finally succumbed. Now it'll haunt the trash can. . . . . . . . . . . #inktober #inktober2019 #inktoberday9 #ink #inking #pen #fabercastell #pittartistpen #pittpens #brushpen #brushpens #brushpenart #ghost #ghosts #marley #bobmarley #marleysghost #reggae #drawing #pun #sketch #sketchbook #oldpen https://www.instagram.com/p/B3bE1k2A8Dm/?igshid=1d5cq9uh36lg9

This guy would be fine with just calling it "Rock-tober"! For day 8 I wielded something the Rock Biter from Neverending Story would prefer as a treat. He was inked out with thick Speedball India Ink with the help of a little stone I found outside. . . . . . . . . . . #inktober #inktober2019 #inktoberday8 #inktoberart #ink #inking #indiaink #rock #rockbiter #neverendingstory #80s #80smovies #80smovie #drawing #stoned #sketch #sketchbook #sketchbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B3X2zjHgto5/?igshid=1ktwjkfuod162

If you had a clock like this looming over you it could feel like "Tick Tock-tober"! On day 7 I used the last remnants of an olive green FW ink that turned grey-brown once applied to the page with a bamboo pen. Bangarang! . . . . . . . . . . #inktober #inktober2019 #inktoberchallenge #inktoberday7 #inktoberart #october #puns #hook #crocodile #crocodiles #croc #clock #ticktock #mickeymouse #childhoodfilm #ink #inking #drawing #sketchbook #sketch #hookmovie https://www.instagram.com/p/B3VQJRAgp66/?igshid=84dtrs4real2

If you're persistently haunted by this guy like one Captain James Hook, it might feel more like "Croc-tober"! For day 6 the ink came from another old green marker I've had that also evidently originated in Japan. . . . . . . . . . . #inktober #inktober2019 #inktoberart #inktoberday6 #october #ink #inking #marker #markers #markerart #markersketch #croc #crocs #crocodile #crocodiles #drawing https://www.instagram.com/p/B3SspIzAl4D/?igshid=33d5ne1fnc46

This guy might like it being called "Spock-tober"! For day 5 I did my best Live-Long-and-Prosper hand sign and stamped it on the page. The ink is red violet PH Martin's, then I went in and worked with a brush. The white is the Pelikan ink from the previous post. Also, I went this direction because of the link to Captain Kirk in the last post... . . . . . . #inktober #inktober2019 #inktoberday5 #october #ink #inking #spock #leonardnimoy #startrek https://www.instagram.com/p/B3P98ZhA7SU/?igshid=15fhro7r9bps0

If you see this guy slinking around your neighbourhood, it might feel more like "Stalk-tober"! To add layers to the pun and to experiment some more on day 4, I applied some aging, chunky, white Pelican ink to black foam board with a cornSTALK nib/brush that I hastily made from the locally grown variety in our fridge ( 2nd slide). The process seems kinda like the technique used for black velvet painting. Not gonna do it again, but worth a try. . . . . . . . . . . . . #inktober #inktober2019 #inktoberday4 #inktoberchallenge #october #ink #inking #whiteink #halloween #horror #horrormovies #michaelmyers #michaelmyersmask #johncarpentershalloween #johncarpenter https://www.instagram.com/p/B3NkgXugDhB/?igshid=1quh7xdgod7j9

When this guy shows up, it seems like it should be called 'Warlock-tober'! For day 3 I inked a brother of the Winter Warlock ( from Santa Clause Is Coming To Town). This here is the Autumn Warlock rendered in a red PaperMate. . . . . . . . . . #inktober #inktober2019 #inktoberart #inktoberday3 #october #ink #inking #drawing #doodling #warlock #winterwarlock #autumn #fall #fallleaves #fallleaves (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3K7sSAgVd0/?igshid=8e70obnjh50q

This guy would prefer it be called "Orlock-tober"! For day 2 my inking materials were more conventional. I used a gray-green Tombow brush pen I've had for years. Not sure where it even came from, but it does really well with building up layers. . . . . . . . . . . . #inktober #inktober2019 #inktoberday2 #inktoberart #inking #ink #brushpen #october #monster #monsters #countorlock #orlock #nosferatu #vampire #horror #horrormovies (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3IiPP5gFwm/?igshid=1lpwdl7gdrpg1

This guy would prefer it be called 'Loch-tober'! If I'm gonna do Inktober, I figured I'd mix up where the ink comes from and how it's used. If you scroll through you'll see the monster was rendered using an ink pad I pried out of an 'empty' cyan cartridge for my printer. I used the various edges of the pad to draw the marks. Onward to day 2! . . . . . . . . . . . #inktober #inktober2019 #ink #sketchbook #sketch #doodling #doodle #october #october1 #inktoberday1 #lochnessmonster #lochness #monster #autumn #fall #fallflannel #flannel (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3FrMZRAplm/?igshid=1n4wgwy9nwtxh
