I've decided to skip several days and resume with today's prompt, so here is my drawing from the prompt "Float": The hand is marginally less appalling than the last hand I drew, but still needs plenty of work. I believe once #inktober is over, I wil...

The #inktober prompt for the 23rd was "Rip" and I spent a lot of time looking for photos of guys with the butts ripped out of their jeans, to no avail. Finally, I decided on that iconic still of Captain Kirk posing with his torn uniform shirt in fron...

I remain one day beind, but yesterday's #inktober prompt was "Trap". Nets are harder than fabric, and I also have plenty of trouble drawing fabric. Let's pretend that's why my figures are almost always nude haha.

Today's prompt was "Storm" and I decided to go with a storm trooper helmet: I see immediately that there's a weirdness about the muzzle on the right hand side of the page. The downward slope on that side should be less steep, and the curve toward th...
