Both with Pentel Pocket brush pen & some Copic multiliner! Number 10 required the use of a straightedge a bit.

Autumn's here, Halloween is coming up, and artists around the world are getting out their favorite ink pens and brushes - it's INKTOBER! I'm participating for the first time this year by doing a small original ink drawing every day, most of them freehand or with minimal sketch guidance. I'm using my favorite Pentel Pocket Brush Pen that gives my traditional bug doodles their calligraphic look and flowing feel. By the end of the month, I'll have created 31 new ink drawings this way!
Thanks to your support and input, the brand-new 2016 buttons are here! Check them out in all their glory right here:

So here is a selection of bits and pieces from the last few years of the stages of work you don't often see.
This photo from late spring 2014 show the ink stages of four pieces....

I haven't had button voting for a long time, but it's back! If you haven't voted already on twitter or FA, please feel free to choose up to 5 favorites from these sketches to be finished and produced as buttons. Your choices will direct the final outcome! The winning buttons will be available this spring in my shop as well as my table at Anthrocon and any other conventions at which I sell. Though this is not a Patron-exclus...

Above, you can see a detail shot of a piece that's been sitting unfinished on my desk for over a year. "Cicada Cycles," the first in my fine art "ink and leaf" series to feature gold (rather than silver) and insects other than moths, was first plotted out in January 2015 with the intent to finish it the following month. I plan these pieces meticulously, with careful attention to composition and balance, ...
