Days 8 to 14- Artober 2021 (Teddy Bear to Pink Panther)

 Yeah, I didn't plan to post all of these together, but I've had a lot going on during this week, so here we go...

Yeah, this is just a fun sketch of some teddy bear character. I might revisit this. 

On this day, I was watching a live stream of someone playing a ToeJam and Earl game, and one of the enemies was an opera singer. So here's my attempt at this character from memory.

Got inspired to draw this character from an old friend's batch of photographs taken when they were shopping for pumpkins. I quite like this character. 

Yeah, I didn't have that many art materials when I was doing this piece, hence using a highlighter rather than my trusty brush pens to draw out these characters. They make a good duo. 

Another day, and another live stream, this time they were playing that Nickeloden All-Star Brawl video game. So here's CatDog from memory. Not too bad. 

Yay! I had my brush pens back in reachable distance, so I drew this character based on a speaker I tried to watch via Zoom on Monday, which explains some of the details on this one. 

As being a fan of the Pink Panther character since I was a kid, I've never really drawn them before. This was very poignant with the passing of David H Patie doing the rounds on my Facebook feed that day. I like how this came out in the end. 

Day 7- Peacock Pictures (Artober 2021)

 I don't know if photography counts for Artober, but I thought I share these I took today at a local garden centre of some residential peacocks. 

Day 5 and Day 6- Boat at Sea and Beetlejuice (from Memory!)

Yeah... two days in one. 

Day 5 is just some imaginary seascape.I think there is too much going on, but it'll do. 

Day 6 was inspired from one of my friend's drawings for this month of Beetlejuice. Yeah it's from memory so I couldn't remember how the lines went on his iconic suit. It was fun to try and do this from memory. 

 

Artober 2021- Day 4- Bomb Jack

 

Well it didn't take me long to make some fan art. Just watching a streamer on Twitch playing games on Antstream, including Bomb Jack. I have fond memories of playing this in an arcade many years ago. The pose feels a bit like SuperTed or Super Mario Bros 3, but I wanted to toy with some old stationary I found whilst tidying up today. 

Artober 2021- Day 3- Blob/Splat

 I just let my imagination run riot with this one. No clear agenda, just making shapes with pencils and several ink pens. 

Artober 2021- Day 2- Dancer

 Been watching Strictly Come Dancing on TV, so I decided to do a quick drawing of a dancer. It's not meant to be based on any particular, but it was influenced by the dancers of my favourite dance in the programme. 

Artober 2021- Day 1- Rubber Hose Characters.

 I kind of got inspired by this Toontober challenge that I kept seeing on my social media feeds. The first three days were going to be the theme on Rubber Hose, so I just attempting to do some characters with some rubber hose aesthetics. The face on the dust bin cracked me up. 

The bottom picture was some earlier pencil and ink drafts before fully committing to my piece.
