Okami - Charcoal

The spooky season is upon us and I am PUMPED. To all of those people out there who think it's too early to get excited for Halloween in September... Please leave this blog now and may Pennywise visit your drains.

Last Halloween I took on a really big challenge. I decided to dedicate myself to "Inktober" and draw something every day. In order to get myself motivated to do it again this year, I thought I'd cycle back through the drawings that made me feel very accomplished. I've also included a few random projects that I've done in the last few months. 

So grab up a pumpkin spice latte (don't judge me) and enjoy the "spooks" of my labor!

Edith from Crimson Peak - Ink (Definitely watch this to gear up for Halloween!)

Bat Hair Day - Ink

Copy of The German Tango - Ink

***This is not an original!*** I tried to make my own copy of Louis Raemaekers' The German Tango. Do check out his cartoons! He has a lot of interesting war propaganda to check out.

One Sleepy Bee - Ink

Zombie Millennial - Ink 

Netflix and Chill - Ink

Reaper Sensei - Ink

Waiting for a Rainy Day - Ink

Tsaheylu - Ink

These last two projects are a bit random, but I decided to thrown them in here anyway. I was able to get my hands on some interesting goods so I just had to try them out!

An Onsen in Hakone - Charcoal

Okay, why didn't anyone tell me how AWESOME charcoal pencils are?! They are smooth and easy to use and they don't make a horrendous mess! 10/10 will use again!

Deku Mask - Floral foam / acrylic paint 

I went home this summer so I had ample time to take on a bigger project. I've been slowly chipping away at this massive undertaking, but I've been trying to make all of the masks from Majora's Mask for my brother... So far I've made two (lol). Luckily, the Deku mask was far easier to tackle than the Majora's mask.
If anyone wants to try making these masks, I really recommend floral foam! Yes, it's not as cool as wood, but it's easy to shape if you are a beginner like me. It's also not as time consuming.

There you have it! I hope you've enjoyed looking at some of the things that I've worked on over the last couple of months. I hope you have a spook-tacular autumn filled with knit sweaters, warm drinks, and everything pumpkin!
