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.

This is Alex from Sktchy for day 6 of Inktober. I drew this with a single Bic 4-way multicolour pen – the rarer purple, orange, pink and yellow variety.

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.

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.
