Bloom into style, expression, and comfort
Whoopsies, I was accidentally late for day 17! I had completed the piece, and posted it on my Instagram and Twitter (my handles are both @CozyRebekah), but I forgot to post it here. This is because I was working on some NaNoWriMo planning yesterday. For day 18 I deviated a bit from Djamila Knopf's prompt…

It's hard to believe that we're over halfway through the month. I've had a lot of fun with Inktober so far, and I look forward to sharing more art throughout the rest of the month. This day was a little challenging for me, since dandelions are my favorite flower, and I couldn't think of any…
I had a headache for most of the day, so I wasn't feeling up to staring at a screen for a few hours to make a digital piece. Instead I worked on a traditional piece, and I enjoyed the change of routine that traditional inking offered me. For Inktober this year I'm following the prompt…
This illustration is my favorite of all the Inktober illustrations I've done so far! It has a nice blend of coziness and surrealism that I've been looking for in my artwork. Even though this illustration took me longer than some of my other Inktober illustrations did, I think the time spent was worth it. For…
For this piece I was inspired by the aesthetics of vampires. While I did have fun with this piece, I feel like I've been going in the wrong direction lately. I love surrealism and portraiture, but I feel as if I'm missing a comforting and cozy aspect to my work. I do think that I'll…
So before Inktober started, I ended doing quite a few sketches in advance. Some of these sketches I redid or changed until they were acceptable in my eyes. And then there was my sketch for day 12. I really wasn't happy with that sketch, but I also didn't want to redo it. The cilantro plant…
It's the 11th day of Inktober, meaning that we're a third of the way through the month. The end feels as if it's a hundred years away, and a day away, at the same time. I don't normally illustrate black hair, so it was interesting to do this piece. I'm following the prompt list created…
For the 10th day of Inktober I've decided to try doing something pretty different. Instead of a normal (or almost normal) human portrait, I've gone with a portrait of a human/cat hybrid. Doing this hybrid was pretty challenging, and it took a few tries for me to finally land on something that I liked, but…
I was a bit pressed for time with my day 9 illustration (plus I'm a bit sick) so the quality isn't quite where I would've liked it to be. Plus the hibiscus flower isn't a plant that I'm well acquainted with, since I rarely see them where I live. They do have such vibrant colors…
Doing this day for Inktober was interesting, since I'm not used to illustrating mushrooms or men. But, I'm happy with the results! And I'm enjoying experimenting with surrealism this month. I'm following the prompt list created by Djamila Knopf, so go check out her work as well.
