I decided to go all out with the shading for this piece, and I learned a lot from it. I've made a lot of progress during Inktober so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing how much I improve by the end. The process of doing these illustrations has helped me learn a lot about…

Inktober Day 6 – Chamomile
I decided to try something pretty surreal for the 6th day of Inktober, and I had a lot of fun doing so. Surreal artwork, especially portraiture, has captured my interest for quite some time now, so I'm glad I decided to experiment with incorporating surreal elements into my art. For Inktober I'm following the prompt…
Inktober Day 5 – Anemone
For the 5th day of Inktober I decided to do a self-portrait. I've been meaning to do one for awhile, since my previous self-portrait (the one that I've been using as a profile picture for a few months) doesn't match up to my current art skills, so I wanted to change things up. For Inktober…
Inktober Day 4 – Henna
It's only the 4th day of Inktober, but it already feels like it's the 20th. But that's probably because I've been working on tons of sketches and trying to get ahead of schedule with the inking. I really enjoyed working on this piece, since one of my favorite things to illustrate is clothing folds! The…
Inktober Day 3 – Acorns

Acorns are really fun, and I have fond memories of seeing them scattered on roads and sidewalks during fall. Along with…
Inktober Day 2 – Rosemary
Here's my piece for the 2nd day of Inktober: I'm following the botanical witches prompt list by Djamila Knopf, except instead of specifically witches, I'm doing botanical portraiture. While some of my portraits for this month are surreal or fantastical, I decided to keep this one grounded more in reality, hence why there are no…
Inktober Day 1 – Lavender
Inktober is an event that takes place each October, and it's a challenge to draw an ink piece every day of the month. This year I'm taking it on, and I'm following the prompt list created by Djamila Knopf. She's one of my favorite artists, and she's created a botanical witches prompt list this year.…
