Jo's Inktober Sketches from life

[ams]

Wonderful so far.

 

[AiArts]

Jo, wow lucky you to have the bird stopping by. Great sketch.

 

[Jo Castillo]

ams, thank you!

Ai, thanks. I was lucky to catch this photo. Pretty far away to get much detail but a majestic hunter of fish in the lake/pond.

 

[Artyczar]

Wonderful birdy in the tree.

 

[Jo Castillo]

Thanks Artyczar. Closest photo of my own to raven, ha.

Today
Inktober Day 6 Spirit - Gene's safety flags for his trike riding, up to 10 miles a day at 80 yrs of age. A combination of Ink pens, Micron, Zig and more.

Love the scribbly shading on the knot, and great work with the osprey and the delicate branch lines. Fab, fun work with the flag colours.

 

[Artyczar]

Very well done!

 

[Joan T]

Osprey are easier to see because they are large. Nice sketch! I don't think I would see enough to add that much detail.

 

[Jo Castillo]

Triss, thank you so much. You know I love color, don't have too many colored inks.
Artyczar, thank you!
Joan, I had a zoomed in photo so fuzzy detail. Not sure about the head shape there was a branch across it and I didn't want to put it in.

I sketched in the big coffee table book with the Lamy pen. Yesterday was Day 7 fan and Day 8 watch. I numbered the watch wrong, normal for me. Sigh... Watch is with the money for a Scavenger Hunt on wc.

 

[Jo Castillo]

Inktober Day 9 - pressure, I dug out the old pressure cooker. Included at the bottom is a Scavenger Hunt sketch for kettle - sub an ice tea maker. Done with Zig Millenneum 05.

These are coming out so well. They are fun to look at.

 

[joe1It]

they are all wonderful

 

[Joan T]

Glad you are finding a way to combine the hunts and the Inktober sketches. Good work on these. I'm impressed by the wallet which looks so dimensional.

 

[Jo Castillo]

Anne, thank you so much.
joe1lt, appreciate your comment.
Joan, It was luck to combine sometimes. Thanks.

Inktober Day 10 - pick

Sketched Gene's pick and shovel in the big book with a Sharpie. The tools are straight, good thing. Mine would be hard to dig with so crooked! That's what freehand gets you.

Inktober Day 11 Sour
Another simple sketch in the big book with Micron, Zig and Pigma Brush pens.

 

[Joan T]

I like the tools but the lemons on the board really caught my eye.

 

[Jo Castillo]

Thanks, Joan, I had to go quick today so the lemons were perfect. I put the juice from the lemon I cut for one glass of lemonade. It was pretty sour. Ha.

 

[Enyaw]

Nice work. That lemon yellow does the trick.

 

[Jo Castillo]

Thanks, Wayne. Color does catch the eye.
