Today's prompt was "Rodent" and I had a hard time not drawing a political figure. Haha. Then I thought about different kinds of rodents, and finally settled on cute mouse. When I had the contour lines laid out and had started to do some shading and...

Today's #inktober prompt was "Blade" and I thought really hard about drawing the hair of this dude I knew in college, and then I was real tempted by a King Arthur, sword in the stone, sort of thing. In the end, I decided to keep it relatively simple,...

I'm a day or two behind, but the #inktober prompt for 10/22 was "Chef". I think his foot could use some attention, but I'm pretty happy with the acorn pot and his chef hat. I want to put a bunch of herbs or clovers or something in his off hand.

Yesterday's prompt was "Coral," so I drew coral. It's late tonight, but tomorrow I beleive I will go back in and add more detailed shading to the seascape, particularly in the background, and soften the border line that defines the coral itself. g...
