Shannon Bergin

I'm Shannon, I like to drink tea and weep over cute dogs. I'm also known the draw sometimes.

The majesty of the Magikarp

One long drawing made from all of my Inktober drawings. 

This took way longer than I had expected, now to see how the prints come along!

Okay, that’s all of them up until today with #Bottle

This has been fun, really challenging but great, the main goal was to just experiment with shapes for the most part and try to find variation in things I normally draw in a more standard or boring way.

Playing catch up with Inktober posts

I’m a lot more consistent with posts on Instagram so maybe follow that if you want to keep up with day to day posts

Day 8... Maybe?? Star This lady is a star catcher, a rare profession that you may not have come across before but trust me, it's true. Stars sell for a very good price on the black market, can be used for wishes and also good night lights.

Day 7:

Exhausted

Some exhausted furniture, they’ve been hard at work for years, maybe furniture deserve a holiday too?

Day 6:

This poor bunny is pooped after doing this many inktobers. Is this bunny me? Yes probably. Coming up with a new idea every day is tough.

Day 5: #chicken This is Copernicus the Chicken, he's a scientist and comes up with all sorts of mad theories but nobody believes him. He's persistent though and will continue with his endeavours.

I included some of the sketches I did for figuring out his design, featuring is the chicken from Moana looking as clueless as ever.

Day 4:

#Spell

I love books and all things spooky so what better to draw than some spooky spellbooks?

Day 3...

Roasted!

These three are enjoying their time by the fire on a cold night. 

Had a bit of an ink spillage with this one but thanks to the magic of Photoshop I could clean it up and somewhat save it!

Day 2...

Tranquil combined with drawloween and the prompt black cat! 

Seems fitting as we had a wee sick kitten we had to catch and nurse last night she was very happy to be in beside a radiator on a cold rainy night!

Day 1 of Inktober!

I’m excited for this year and can’t wait to not finish the challenge (I’m hoping the reverse psychology works) 

Happy October Tumblr!

A wee Winnie the Pooh drawing I was working on a couple of weeks ago. 

Eeyore is my absolute favourite.

Pencil, watercolour, ink, pen and pastel on paper.

My Tumblr needs more love, I’ve been neglecting it a lot.

I’ve been working on getting this print out into the world as part of Suicide Prevention Day on the 10th of September, with all proceeds going to Pieta House. Small acts of kindness being sent into the world can make a difference, especially to those standing on the edge of it.

I was not expecting, but have been super grateful for the generosity shown by so many people, all of whom have a story to tell. 

Also had some giveaways on the other social medias that I haven’t been neglecting so that was so much fun. Here’s the process from thumbnails to finished piece, hope you enjoy.

Happy Tuesday Folks <3

Practice with value and then colour, this was a fun little exercise!

Colour is difficult, who knew right?

Anybody out there searching for a t-shirt inspired by Coraline look no further, or do, but there’s one here if you follow this link so it will save you searching.

Redbubble also have a sale on at the moment with 20% off so it’s a great time to promote capitalism!
