This is Farimah from Sktchy for day 16 of Inktober. I’ve been sick the past 10 days or so with some kind of bug (not COVID, I’ve had a negative test) so doing anything feels like very hard work. I’m still remote working and plugging away at my portraits in between work meetings but the last couple of days I’ve been feeling really unwell so I’m happy just to get something done.
This is Liberty from Sktchy for day 15 of Inktober. I made it to the halfway mark and I think this is my favourite of the inktober portraits I’ve drawn so far this year.
This is Yuko from Sktchy for day 14 of Inktober – at least it’s meant to be her but I totally lost her likeness! So I uploaded the portrait to my iPad and played with it to try to improve it, which it did, but it still doesn’t look like her 😂
This is Nathan from Sktchy for day 13 of Inktober.
This is Saba from Sktchy for day 12 of Inktober 2020.
This is Gravity from Sktchy for day 11 of October and I had a lot of fun drawing it!
This is Abby for Day 10 of Inktober.
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.
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.
Today has been crazy, crazy – I have some kind of a virus that’s aggravating my asthma (I’m getting tested tomorrow for Covid-19) so I’ve spent half the day in telephone consultations with various doctors & nurses plus trying to do my regular remote working. So it feels miraculous that I’ve produced any kind of a portrait for day 7 of Inktober but here it is. This is David from Sktchy drawn with a single blue Bic ballpoint pen.
