Inktober 2020 – MabsDrawlloweenClub Day 1: Fish – Werewolf

October 1, 2020October 2, 2020 Carolina Russo

Day 1: Fish – Werewolf
Double Challenge combined prompts #Drawlloweentober
Inktober: Fish
MabsDrawlloweenClub: Werewolf

It’s that creative time again welcome October!
This month brings some of the most loved drawing challenges Inktober begins today!
This is my 5th year participating and once again I decided to create my drawings inspired by the official prompts of my two favorite challenges (read my previous post here)
The challenge Mabsdrawlloweenclub is usually inspired by dark folklore and legend’s characters it has an Halloween theme. Inktober prompts can be anything usually common things. I find it interesting to see what I am able to create also when sometimes the two prompts of the day aren’t easy to combine! Doing an Hybrid challenge will refine creativity and skills!

For today drawing I had to combine Werewolf and Fish I guess I did it nicely and I am happy with my painting! I am not so much inspired by dark creepy or scary characters so I try to make them look less scary and more nice :-). I have created my Werewolf in a lovely female form taking a bath at the full moon light enjoying the company of a lovely Koi Fish.
