Inktober 2018

Published November 7, 2018 drawing , experience , illustration , journal Leave a Comment

Seriously happy dance over here. I survived Inktober,  though some of my pens didn’t.  I completed all 31 days, though not all were on time that’s for sure. A drawing a day is a lot of work. I’m curious now that its done, which drawing was your absolute favorite and why? Please comment  with your favorite. Remember all drawings and prints of drawings are for sale,  just contact me for more information. #Inktober #Inktober2018 #wrap

Inktober Day 1 Poison ink drawing by alecia goodman

“Inktober Day 1 Poison” ©2018 alecia goodman to present

I had so many ideas for “Poison, Inktober Day 1″… old glass bottles and their shapes have always fascinated me. The liquid in the bottle has a life of it’s own. I couldn’t help, but play with Typography too… another one of my loves. What do you think of my combination of all of the elements for poison?

“Becca”, portrait update 2 ©2016 alecia goodman to present

This drawing is so beautiful. I love the movement in her shirt and the wind blowing her hair around. Look at her hair, just gorgeous. I think she might just be done, hopefully I have been able to really capture her . Media pencil/lead with white charcoal

Painted Belle Epoque Chanel ©2015 alecia goodman to present pattern by Sweet Potato Crochet Creations, http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/painted-belle-epoque-chanel

I recently did a test for Sweet Potato Crochet Creations for the Battle of the Stitches. It involved the paintbrush stitch and the theme wrapped in warmth. Its a beautiful stitch, but it’s a yarn eater. I did some frogging before I figured out the stitch itself. After that it went together beautifully. This was my first ever sweater, cardi, etc. I was a bit nervous. What do you think? I think my next one will be done in a solid color like plum.
