Hello guys and welcome to this tour of my very first a completed inktober
sketchbook from October of this year. Before we get started I want to quickly
let you know that the zine is now. And it should be out while you're
watching this video so I'm really, really happy with it. I loved how it turned out.
Just a quick look through it; it has all the drawings in there, in the same order
as in this sketchbook itself so if you want to pick up your very own copy of
this sketchbook then the link for that will be listed below.
As I've mentioned they will each be numbered and signed. These are limited so
if you want one I would recommend getting your hands on it now and coming
back to watch this video later just in case.
So getting round to the sketchbook tour, this was as I said my most successful
inktober yet and that's thanks very much in part to you guys, the support that I
had this year was just incredible and just knowing that everyone was following
along was just an extra push of motivation and willpower.
So obviously the theme that I went for was haunted houses or houses and what
haunts them. I chose this theme because I just love drawing houses and I thought
that it would be something that I could quite consistently do every day for the
month. So this first one was a spirit, an evil spirit up in that window. Really
liked this one and then this one was a giant. Again another favourite. This one
was haunted by a lagoon creature. I really really liked how this one turned
out and I think it looks great next to this one which is another
favourite. My first few were definitely some of my top ones for me. This house
was haunted by vandals and if you want information on the things that I used
I'll have a video linked below one of my inktober videos where I do talk about my
references and my tools. This one was haunted by radioactivity or
nuclear ruin and this one was haunted by aliens. And this one I think still stands
as my favourite. If you are interested in getting a print of this on its own, that
is up on my society6 store and I'll have that linked below. This one's haunted
by a scarecrow. This one by isolation.
This one was haunted by the frost of winter and this one was haunted by a
very ominous fog. As you can see on this page I had a bit of an bleeding with the
ink, that's from this tree here but thankfully thankfully it didn't affect
the existing drawings that I had here and when it came to putting the zine
together I was able to just edit those out quite easily. So those won't be in
the copy of the zine. This house was haunted by the undead and this one was
haunted by perpetual darkness. I hope I'm not missing any pages. I always look back
on my sketchbook tours and realise I've skipped a page here and there.
So this one is haunted by Mother Nature. At the time, I wasn't that keen on it just
because I felt like it could have been more overgrown but looking at it now I'm
really happy with the effect of it. This one was another favourite, I really liked the
kind of negative space effect where this house was haunted by ghosts. This one- I'm
not sure if you can see it very well- but is haunted by a snow monster and this
one was haunted by decay and abandon. And if this voiceover is boring you
please feel free to just pop some music on since I'm just going through and
talking about what haunted the houses. I mean if you want more interesting info
on each piece, I will have the playlist linked below of all the drawings
in which I do talk about a bit more of the process and you know the thought
behind them or however that particular drawing went. So yeah this drawing is
haunted by a sea creature this one is haunted by witches. This one
was a fun one I really enjoyed the comments on the on the video of this one,
this one was haunted by spiders and we had a little debate over whether these
were spiders or a hedge and a lot of people decided to go with hedge because
the thought of it being a big cluster of spiders with a bit too much for some
people to handle. This one was haunted by a dragon, this was another really fun one
just using this one stroke technique I think I will take into you know things
into the future. I think I'll try that again.
This house was haunted by secrets and this one by shadows. This house as you
might remember I had a bit of a mistake go on here that I kind of tried to cover
up. So this was haunted by a monster. This was haunted by the unknown. This is
another favourite spread of mine so this house was haunted by a curse; you can see
that it kind of takes on the shape of a very sad face. And then this one was
haunted by a glitch and that is something that I'm definitely going to
try again as well. This kind of old-school 3D you look. This house
was haunted by a swarm and this one by pollution. This house was haunted by
floods, this house was haunted by vampires and then the very last house was
haunted by infinity. And this again it was another favourite of mine and I will be
putting up prints of this on society6 as well just to go with its it's brother
piece. So the earlier alien house, this it's the same house. It obviously has
been taken up into space and left there.
So that's that sketchbook. I'll do one more
quick flip through at the end just so you can see it all together without me
rambling on but yeah thank you so much for watching, thank you so much for
sticking with me along the way of inktober. I'm really looking forward to
creating some new content for you guys, getting back into some painting. Yeah so,
yeah I'll see you soon for the next video bye.
