Zoe

This is Zoe from Sktchy drawn in Procreate. Today is the Day of the Dead or Dia de Los Muertos to give its Hispanic name. I’ve always been attracted to the colourful sugar skulls that are traditional symbols of this Mexican festival but I also love the idea of celebrating the lives of deceased relatives so the festival resonates with me on a number of levels.

I draw a portrait of someone in sugar skull costume and make up most years but this year I’ve also been crocheting along with a Day of the Dead crochet-along (or CAL) created by @theguywiththehook. You can see my finished mandala below and you can find the pattern on Ravelry.

Julia

How I have missed my watercolours and coloured pencils during the past month of Inktober! This is Julia from Sktchy painted in my Moleskine watercolour sketchbook.

Vampire Sarp

Hooray! I made it all the way through Inktober without missing a day! This is Sarp from Sktchy for day 31 which is, of course, Halloween. I’ve had a lot of fun using my Bic pens all month but I’m looking forward to using all my other art materials again from tomorrow!

Taha

This is Taha from Sktchy for day 30 of Inktober. I had planned to work this portrait in colour but I always start with a first layer in blue, establishing where the shadows are, and when I reached this point in the portrait I liked it so much that I decided to stop here.

Katie

I’m getting very frustrated by constantly losing likenesses in these ballpoint pen drawings but it’s all practice. This is Katie from Sktchy but it doesn’t look like her!

Dritan

This portrait is drawn from an image posted by Dritan on Sktchy. It’s day 28 of Inktober and the end is in sight. I’ve enjoyed working with ballpoint pens and I’ve certainly improved but I’m so looking forward to playing with my watercolours and Copics again!

Esther

Today’s Sktchy face – for day 27 of Inktober- is Esther. It’s not a great portrait- I missed the likeness and the tonal values are all wrong. I’ve got a migraine today and I was working in semi-darkness because I couldn’t tolerate the light. If I’d been feeling better I might have carried on and tried to rectify some of the problems with more layers of colour. But it’s Inktober and tomorrow I’ll be drawing another one!

Thiago

This is Thiago from Sktchy for day 26 of Inktober.

Brandon

This is Brandon for day 25 of Inktober.

Mica

This is Mica from Sktchy for day 24 of Inktober.
