Well I had a lot of fun joining in with Mythical Inktober, and am pleased to have actually done something creative throughout October: the incentive of a goal really help me. Thanks to Frenone for supplying the prompts as I probably would have faltered on the original Inktober ones, but the mythical ones made the task far more fun and I now feel more confident sharing my artwork even when it isn’t great because of all the support from the Twitter & WordPress community.

So here are my last ones to complete the final gallery:

Late October scribbles

Here are my late Mythical Inktober offerings

Week 2 of Mythical Inktober (late)

Ok I’m running late so I’ll pin these up and hope nobody notices *grins

Day 8: Gargoyle – I’m still not sure which colour I actually prefer on these.

Day 9: Pegasus – I went for cutesy / My Little Pony style on this one and this might be my favourite one so far 🙂

Day 10: Satyr or Faun – I started off with the idea of copying some Blizzard art but it turns out my eyes were just going crosseyed on the chest>arm

 

 

So I tried another Warcraft Satyr based on the in game image: graphics are not so good to copy from!
His horns were a little bent out of shape but I’m putting that down to him being a bit feisty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day 11: Faerie – This one was just a quick felt drawn one after a long day

 

 

 

Day 12: Wendigo – I actually didn’t know what this was except for having an image in mind from Warcraft. I also drew it in green ink which I really didn’t like but now, thanks to @Ashpah_ I can say this is a Greench 😀

Day 13: Sea Serpent – I was happy with this little doodle as it was just freestyle which isn’t something I can often do.

Day 14: Dragon – So I haven’t completely finished the colouring on this one to where I want but I’m keenly aware that I have a tendency to over do things. So I need to work out if I’m going to continue practicing shading with biro or just leave future offerings with just the outline.

Well I said I was going to join in for Inktober and I’m happy to say that I have actually got through the first week without giving up in frustration, and I’ve shared drawings in public that I really wasn’t comfortable with the standard of.

So I call this a good start.

I do have to admit that I got a tad sidetracked from the original mission though, and now instead of using the #Inktober prompts, I’ve switched tracks and joined in with Frenone and #mythicalInktober. Well her prompts just seemed such fun and appealed to my fantasy side.

And here are my doodles so far

Day 1: Moonbunny

Day 2: Dryad – I was a little annoyed that I didn’t start a fresh page for this one as I like it.

Day 3: Valkyrie: Hiding the arms because anatomy isn’t my strong point

Day 4: Cactus Cat: I knew I would like this one even without shading

Day 5: Siren: This was a case of too much adjustment: I decided to adjust the mouth afterwards as it looked like an angry pout, but I really wish I’d left it alone.

Day 6: Direwolf – I used a different type of pen for this one and it flowed more ink that I was expecting so the nose wrinkles got lost.

Day 7: Banshee – This made me see how differently things looked depending on the lighting for the photograph, though I’m still not sure which I prefer.

 

Well so far I’m having a lot of fun, even if some of the prompts are tricky for me to draw. If you decide you want to join in then here are the prompts for the rest of #MythicalInktober and I urge you to go visit Frenone’s Twitter page  HERE to have a look at all her awesome pieces of artwork.
