It’s been a busy few months with the GOLD FIRE MUGS and now the holidays are upon us! Here are a few of my favorite INKTOBER 2018 sketches. You can see the rest of them here.

This challenge was started a few years back by an artist on Instagram. The challenge is to make a sketch with ink once a day during the month of October. There are usually descriptive prompts each day, but I decided to do my own sketches of wildfires and include gold leaf on them!

I really enjoyed creating these. It was great to practice tones, contrast, and composition. Some work better than others. I started to learn which reference photos would make for better ink sketches. Overall, I may be using some of these for future paintings.

Artfully,
