Pumpkin- Draft 3- Day 30 Artober 2021

Day 30 into Artober, and I do a bit more on this Pumpkin animation. Just want to work on the ending before I start toying with the timing. 

Pumpkin-Draft 2- Day 29- Artober 2021

I did some more on this animation with some more inbetweening and such. 

Pumpkin (Rough Animation) First Draft

For Day 28 of Artober, I thought of starting some animation work for this pumpkin character. 

Day 19- Artober 2021- Photo at Cosener's House

 

Here's a photo I took near a venue for a sombre event on that day. 

Day 18, and Days 20-25, Artober 2021

 

Yeah, I need to stop scanning all of these at once. Oh well, here goes... 

Today was inspired by a recent Saturday Night Live sketch of their science show parody, Science Room with Jason Sudeikis. It's worth watching as it is a prime example of things escalating out of control. 

I was another YouTuber tackling Super Mario Maker when I made this loose interpretation of Super Mario. It's a bit goofy, but that's part of its charm. 

I was watching Strictly when I shared that Teletubbies GIF of them on that special to one of my loyal friends on Facebook. Yeah... it's a bit demented, isn't it?  

During a Zoom call, I ended up drawing one of these characters for an upcoming Christmas show I'm in. At least I can look at this when I get around to writing a bio for this character. 

I wasn't feeling that inspired on this day, so just doodled these two characters. Don't think I will do much with them. 

I just stumbled on this YouTuber, Rick Beato, and I thought I try drawing this personality. Not bad. I might watch more of their videos soon. 

On this day, I was watching Venom. So I did my own interpretation of that comic book film character. 

Oh, before you ask, I did do something on Day 19, but that's on my smartphone. 

Day 16- Artober 2021- Digital Life Drawings

 

Yesterday was just some life drawing done on my smartphone with the Sketchpad app. 

Day 15 and 17- Artober 2021- Illustration and Colouring-In

Before you ask, I had done something for Day 16, but it will come as a separate post because they are on my phone rather than being scanned here. 

Day 15 was done during a meeting for a future leaflet for one of the voluntary groups I attend to. They wanted a simple graphic of a chimney with the smoke coming out as a money sign. I might toy with these later to produce a finalised piece, so stay tuned. 

Day 17 is just a coloured-in drawing done with crayons. I had my nieces over and one of them wanted to do some colouring from this Crayola book that has stickers to go with these drawings. I don't know if this counts as a proper Artober piece... but hey, it was therapeutic colouring in with crayons. 

 

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.
