So I am doing #inktober this month and I finally found a theme to work from. I am going to draw everyday from the faroese tales and myths. I am quite in love with this theme. No one know how this looks so I get to design them, how I see them. Today its the trolls, that live in the mountains. These don't have any clothes on, I guess they will have when outside 🤔 My ink is really light - because I mix with lots and lots of water 💧 #ink #umbra #inktober2017 #myth #tales #faroeislands #draweveryday #faroetales #trolls #independentartist #drawing #doodle #illustrator #pencil #watercolor #womenwhodraw #print #illustration #everyday #sketches #ink #instadraw #brushes #pencils #paper #justcolor #colorcombination #lenanicolajsen #art #illustrationlove #artist #watercolours #hashtagqueen ❤️ (her: Nørre Allé)

Petrina is the main character in a book I’m working on right now. Still sketching her appearence and not quite there yet. But getting closer - she’s named after a great grandmother of mine. She was supposed to be the sweetest woman so it can go wrong right? #petrina #faroetales #faroeislands #illustrator #travelingillustrator #inkingcomics #lenanicolajsen #graphicnovel #instadrawing #womenwhodraw #greatgrandmother #familylife (her: Thorshavn, Faroe Islands) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqE_zcSnPQR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6qmcn5f8241k

Inktober day 14 🖌 this is a "vættur" a small gnome that lives in houses - it's good luck to have one in your house. Hope you have one too.. 🌚 #rohrerundklingner #blackink #water #inktober #inktober2017 #inktoberviking2017 #day14 #instadraw #gnome #vættur #faroetales #faroeislands #illustration #independentartist #artwork #draweveryday #hashtagqueen (her: Copenhagen, Denmark)

Inktober day 13 - once the weather was so bad that the boat couldn't get ashore in bird island (fugloy) - so one of the men in the boat took a piece of meat and Said to something in the sea - take this and put it in you ( stik hetta í teg ), and the sea quiet down, so they could get on the island. The story doesn't say anything about what it was in the sea - it's not long. I love that! Two eyes looking up at you from the sea 🌊 #inktober2017 #inktoberviking2017 #inktober I used #mauriziusblau #antiktusche #rohrerandklinger #faroetales #faroeislands #fugloy #independentartist #independentartist #drawing #doodle #illustrator #pencil #womenwhodraw #illustration #everyday #sketches #ink #instadraw #brushes #pencils #lenanicolajsen #art #illustrationlove #artist #oceancreatures #marine (her: Copenhagen, Denmark)
