This is the last of  ‘em. Thanks to everyone that bought pre-orders, and thanks to Jake for Inktober.

Although Inktober is technically over, I’ve still got some sketches to do for my pre-orders, so I’ve requested an extension. You’ll probably see a couple more of these before the ghosts of Inktober are fully exorcised from my drawing table.

These three sketches are attempts at trying to understand a little bit of A.J. Casson. While I like what I was able to do with some of these sketches, I feel like they are just me regurgitating impressions of the shapes and forms I saw in his work. I’d like to go a on a field trip sometime and try drawing some real-world objects using an A.J. Casson approach.

Man I gotta say I’m really digging working with the brush. Maybe its because its a brush pen, and I never have to dip it, but doing these things has been the most fun I’ve had in a while.

Playing around with more darks.

Yup. More GRRM.

Inktober is fast becoming Starktober. This sketch is a giant. Once again from the Song of Ice and Fire.

I’ve had this image on my mind ever since I finished A Storm of Swords. Claire Wendling would have done a better job of it, but I’m still pretty happy with how it turned out.

Hmmm, I hope no one notices this one…

I smudged this a bit. BTW, did I mention that my Inktober sketches are what you get what you pre-order Green Monk?

Still trying to use more blacks. I’ve found that my brush pen needs to be dipped in water every once and a while to keep the ink flowing.
