Nathan

This is Nathan from Sktchy for day 13 of Inktober.

Gravity

This is Gravity from Sktchy for day 11 of October and I had a lot of fun drawing it!

Abby

This is Abby for Day 10 of Inktober.

Reihan

This is Reihan from Sktchy for day 9 of Inktober. Her inspiration photo reminds me so much of the Mona Lisa and I was trying to reflect just a hint of that in my portrait.

Hannah

This is Hannah from Sktchy for day 8 of Inktober. I’m learning a lot from rushing through these daily ballpoint pen portraits for Inktober – mostly how to work faster and that I often like them better half done. But I do lose the likeness every time when I’m rushing.

Ghazal

Today’s Sktchy inspiration is Ghazal for day 5 of Inktober. I wanted to see what I could do with a single 4-colour (red, blue, black & green) Bic pen. I love how the limited palette made me think and work a little differently.

Jon

This is Jon from Sktchy, my portrait for day 4 of Inktober. I often like my ballpoint pen drawings best at this stage, when I’ve just laid down a first layer of orange on the skin and blue for the shadows. So I stopped here today.

Mussu

This is Mussu from Sktchy for Inktober Day 3.

Sydney

I’ve run out of time to finish this and I’d rather post a half-finished portrait than start falling behind on Day 2 of Inktober! So this is what my ballpoint portraits look like at around the halfway point.

Chad

I’m planning on trying to keep up with Inktober 2020 and drawing a portrait a day with ballpoint pens. I’m not following the prompts – I’ve done that in the past but I just don’t have the time this year to spend hours looking for inspirations to fit the prompts. So I’m just going to draw portraits that appeal to me. So for Day 1 I’ve drawn Sktchy muse Chad.
