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.

Exploring a new idea
Today I am excited to share with you one of my latest watercolor painting having the title ” Queen Flower”.
I painted in my traditional signature style in watercolor and ink but this time not on the usual watercolor paper. I came across this 10 inches diameter paper lace doily at home and my first thought was to make a ink drawing on it! I love to explore new artistic and creative ways to paint, testing papers or surfaces and see how watercolor works especially on unusual ones! I am always driven to try new techniques and materials. I have to say that the combination of watercolor and ink pen did work really well without any bleeding through the paper! I am happy and pleased with the outcome! The watercolor looks great on this paper doily, the original painting is lovely and would look great with a floating frame. I will sure create more paintings on paper doilies in the future.
The Original Painting is Available for sale!
If you are interested in this Original Watercolor painting or if you have any question please Contact me.
Artist’s details about the painting:
.I used a Draft/Matic Pencil 0.5mm by ALVIN for my sketch. I painted on a 10 inch Paper Doily, I used French Artists Watercolor by Sennelier l’Aguarelle. Ink pen COPIC Multiliner #01 and a SAKURA White Gelly Roll pen.

Day 9: Swing – Coven
Double Challenge combined prompts #Drawlloweentober2019
Inktober: Swing
MabsDrawlloweenClub2019: Coven
This is yesterday drawing Day 9 I had to combine the prompts “Swing and Coven” and here is my little story for my drawing! ” From inside a cave there is a coven of good witches doing their spells and rituals at dusk. When the sky just said goodbye to the sunset leaving glowing traces while waiting for the night darkness the witches are chanting their spells, taking turns on a swing. They believe the swing will bring them closer to the sky where they can see trough the future.

Day 7: Enchanted – Yokai
Double Challenge combined prompts #Drawlloweentober2019
Inktober: Enchanted
MabsDrawlloweenClub2019: Yokai
Today drawing is inspired by the Japanese Mythology and Folklore “Yōkai (妖怪, ghost, phantom, strange apparition) are a class of supernatural monsters, spirits, and demons in Japanese folklore. The word yōkai is made up of the kanji for “bewitching; attractive; calamity” and “spectre; apparition; mystery; suspicious” (source WikipediA)
The combination of the two prompts Enchanted and Yokai is great together! I hope you love my “Kiko the Enchanted Yokai” Her name is Kiko and she is very mysterious! I also wrote an Haiku for this drawing!
