We’re more than halfway through October, and despite the travel and busy calendar, I’ve managed to keep up with my Inktober project. I haven’t shared any of the cards I’m making with the list of prompts from Louise Gale, so I thought I’d share the first fifteen.
I’m pretty happy with the way they’ve turned out, especially considering how sporadic I am with my sketching. The prompts from top left were: rose, gingko leaf, trillium, poplar leaf, chrysanthemum, seed pods, fern, poppy, daisy, dogrose leaf, lavender, start anise seed pod, dahlia, fan palm, and cosmos. Not having photographs of my own, or actual specimens to work from I had to rely on Google searches for photographs and drawings. Now I need to get back to the lessons in Louise’s course.
Karen these are all pretty amazing. I tried identifying before scrolling down to read – I got all but the dogrose leaf … so that tells you the talent at capturing life like.
Impressed with your skills, Karen. It reminded of illustrations from a series of nature guide books I used as a teen. Are they color pencil, markers or what media? I finally ordered the Altenew watercolor set and am waiting for delivery tomorrow.
How did I miss this the first time? Sorry. They are lovely and really well observed/depicted. I bow before your drawing talent!
