Inktober-Day 18

For today’s Inktober drawing I went with another retro pin up drawing.  It’s a halloween themed card player.

Inktober-Day 1

inktober-1

Alright, it is day 1 of the Inktober month of ink drawing that is happening on the internet.  I had heard of this project from the videos that artist, Jake Parker has on YouTube(which I highly recommend subscribing to).  But, I have never participated in it before.  I do love drawing with ink and using ink in washes for my drawings.  This seems like as good a time as ever to jump in.  I feel like I need to do something like this after the 30 days of painting last month.  Now I have the problem of figuring out what I will be drawing this month.  One thing I knew I wanted to do was draw skulls.  That will probably be a main element in a bunch of this month’s pieces.  With October being known for being a spooky month, I should throw in a bunch of monsters.  I would also like to continue some of the pin-up style females that I thought came out well last month.  Which leads us to today’s drawing.

30 Paintings in 30 Days-Day 23

julie-adams-23

Today’s portrait is of Julie Adams, who plays Kay in the Creature From the Black Lagoon.  It’s another watercolor painting, where I’m trying to stay close to the Zorn palette.  In the movie she is the main object of the Gillman’s attention.

October is the time of the year called Inktober, where people are doing a month’s worth of ink drawings and I’m thinking about joining in for my first time.  And the reason I bring this up is because I’m thinking that the Creature From the Black Lagoon film might be a main subject of the drawings I will do for the month.

30 Paintings in 30 Days-Day 14

frankenstein-14

From painting beauties for the last 6 days, to painting a beast.

This is a gouache painting of Frankenstein’s monster from the Universal Studios classic film, staring Boris Karloff.  I’m not sure I’m completely happy with the results of this because of the gouache paints.  Especially after using watercolors for the last week.  I really enjoyed using watercolors, but, I think I will stick with gouache for a few more this week.

30 Paintings in 30 Days-Day 13

pinup-13

Day 13 and here is the sixth vintage pinup style painting for this month.  I think this will be the last one in this series.  I’m not quite sure what tomorrow will bring subject wise.  This is because I am still drawing and painting these on the same day that I’m posting them.  I will admit that this is not a smart way to take on one of these challenges.  I have also noticed that football season starting has not helped me with getting these done.

Another watercolor painting using the Zorn color palette that I have been using for most of the paintings this month.
