'Meeting the hare' A pencil sketch I did late November. I'm happy with how it turned out considering it took just over 30 minutes to draw. I kept some of the shading loose and the difference in detail around the image helps make it interesting I think.
I've set up a new standing desk area in my room and this was the first drawing I did at it. A good way of breaking it in.
I really like how this one turned out. Definitely want to recreate this scene in 3D. That was my last entry in Inktober for 2025. Client work and general life got busy. At the time of writing this, I'm not sure if I'll join in on Inktober in 2026. The prompts are useful if you are stuck for something to draw but if anything, I have too many ideas in my head, unrealised.
I am happy how the little 'reckless' mouse came out. Less so with the big feline whose mouth the mouse is sleeping in. I didn't lock in whether I was drawing a house cat, lion, lynx, jaguar etc.
Overall I'm pretty satisfied with it the image though
Here's a video I made showing the inking process
This image did not end up looking like what was in my mind's eye. It's not my favorite entry of Inktober 2025 but you can't win them all.
Every Inktober seems to have a prompt that is an animal. Last year it was Rhino and I attempted to draw a realistic rhino. That turned out better than I expected so for 2025's animal prompt, I decided to attempt a realistic deer.
As with the rhino last year, I used photographic reference and tried to make my own decisions on the lighting.
