Inktober 2020 Day 1: Fish Are Friends
I’ve always wanted to join drawing challenges online but I’m always either too intimidated or shy to do anything. Even after I bought my 2018 iPad and installed Procreate back in 2018, I never had the guts to participate in art challenges. A global pandemic can change things. This year, I finally decided to do…

Inktober 2020 Day 2: Wisp It, Wisp It Good
I had no idea what to draw for the Wisp prompt, so I just played with a mysterious light in the middle of the dark. This is supposed to be a will-o’-the-wisp in the middle of a swamp area, but I ended up just removing the trees and other details from the background. I’m pretty…

Inktober 2020 Day 3: Bulky Old One
The biggest, bulkiest, spookiest character ever would probably be Cthulu of the Great Old Ones. I’ve always been fascinated by Cthulu and the whole Lovecraftian section of Horror. There’s something about unspeakable evil in various monstrous forms that appeals to me. That’s why I drew this dreaded water elemental for the Bulky prompt. I wanted…

Inktober 2020 Day 4: Radio Ga Ga
I had a hard time coming up with a spooky thing that I can tie into the Radio prompt. After thinking of multiple horror movie and spooky character scenes where I can drop a radio in, I decided to make it the star of the drawing. So I used one of the most famous radio…

Inktober 2020 Day 5: Blade of Glory
I recently saw Blade: Trinity on Netflix so the Daywalker is pretty fresh in my mind. That’s why with the Blade prompt for Inktober this year, there was only one choice for my subject — mah boi Wesley Snipes. Specifically, I used one of the posters for the first Blade movie as a reference. I…

Inktober 2020 Day 6: Rodent King
My idea for the Rodent prompt was so good, I didn’t have a single alternative option. I wanted to draw a rat king. Unfortunately, I couldn’t look too long at reference photos because rat kings are pretty gross. Hence, this was drawn based purely on imagination. And it shows because it’s really, really rough. I…

Inktober 2020 Day 7: Lurch Is So Fancy, You Already Know
The Addams Family is probably the First Family of Spookiness, so for the Fancy prompt, I chose to do Lurch. Nothing says fancy than a butler that may or may not be a walking corpse, right? The version of Lurch I went with was the cartoon one. He’s the easiest to raw not just because…

Inktober 2020 Day 8: Got Some Teeth
This is an exercise in shading and shadows as a relied heavily on using black to give depth to a rose with teeth. The image is based on the poster for the 2007 film Teeth, a horror comedy. It’s a deep cut that only weirdos like me actively sought out when it was released. Not…

Inktober 2020 Day 9: Don’t Throw This Out
The Green Goblin isn’t a spooky character but he’s Halloween-themed so he will do for the Throw prompt. I drew him here throwing one of his signature pumpkin bombs at the viewer. I decided to do it at an angle to make it more interesting and to also maximize the vertical orientation that I decided…
