#inktoberchallenge
I’m not really satisfied with the result, but taking into consideration that I drew it while being half-asleep, I’m proud of myself that it was created at all. Fire and dance. And henna.

Ok, so we have here some rosemary….. And baby (I know, my dad jokes will be the death of me one day ) But anyway, I wanted to draw some of the experience and wisdom, witches should be associated with.

As for I decided to take some inspiration for this year’s Inktober from amazing @djamilaknopf , there goes the first botanical witch from her prompt: the lavender one (yes, you have to believe that it’s something lavender-ish). ONLY THE PENITENT MAN WILL PASS.

Inktober Day #20 is Mandy from the Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. Oh man Mandy, she is just something else lol Snarky, cynical, and doesn’t seem to have a care in the world attitude despite looking like an innocent girl, I’m pretty sure she surprised us all when we first saw her. Normally I’m not into characters who have an attitude just for the sake of it but in Mandy’s case, it’s actually quite endearing for the show she’s in and it didn’t bother me at all. I mean I guess if you hang around someone like Billy for so long, you’d begin to lose some patience though it’s good that she at least gets on with Grim despite her taking advantage of him a lot of the time.
I do have to point out though that Mandy is not a Goth character, I only say this because I see so many people label her as such just because she has a cynical personality and I’m sorry but having a cynical personality does not make one Goth. Just thought I’d speak up on that.
Anyway, Mandy is easily a darkly-inclined character icon and it was so fun drawing her. I’ll have to get around to drawing her with Billy & Grim in the near future. :)

Inktober 2021 day 1: CRYSTAL
It is believed that Japanese yokai “Kojin” (shark man) cries with red tears. Once they touch the ground they turn to beautiful red rubies.

Inktober, Day 14
Inktober, day 13
Inktober Days 15-21
And I said to myself ‘it has only been a few days since you uploaded these to tumblr, it is fine’ … nope, it has been a week. Oops! Ok so, I did actually do all of these on time it was just a lot of effort to upload them all everywhere so I put them on instagram (i have an instagram now! It is Catinspats there as well). and left it at that. So this is days 15 through to today, 21.
At the top we have Kitty and Mrawh go to bed, then Kitty and Mrawh and the Haunted House, Kitty and Mrawh and Marmalade, Mrawh and the cactus, Kitty and Mrawh go to the shops, Kitty meets a monster and Kitty and Mrawh meet a ghost.
Oof.
How is everyone else managing inktober?

Day 14 - Kitty and Mrawh and the Enchanted Object
AKA Rachel decided to do cross hating because she hates herself? IDK! Hatching looks cool, amirite?

Inktober Day 13 - Kitty and the Octopus
Just Kitty today. I did draw a few thumbnails with Mrawh but I wanted to spend more time on the details of Kitty (AKA her hair) she has fun hair and I like to draw it. She is planning to take the octopus back where it should be, she isn’t keeping one in a small jar just for fun! It is an octopus rescue

Day 12 - Kitty and Mrawh and the galoshes.
When I was coming up with the idea I was actually thinking of hip waders but the word escaped me so I ended up with galoshes instead. It is ok though, because this is still cute. Even if it isn’t hip waders (CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW CUTE?)
I don’t know why Kitty is shying away from getting her feet muddy, but maybe she just doesn’t like this particular type of muck, who knows?

Inktober Days 9 -11
I did actually finish these in time but it was just impossible to get time to scan them and post them until now so here you go!
At the top we have Day 9 - Kitty and Mrawh in the Kitchen … but not really IN the kitchen because no one in their right mind lets those two wander around where food is being prepared. I used Faber Castell pigment liners for this one. I do prefer crow quill but I was out and about so I had fun with this!
Next we have day 10 - Kitty and Mrawh at the park. I may color this later so I left it just lines. I really like how the trees turned out I think they are fun shapes and would be fun to paint (even if this sketchbook is not meant for paint …)
Then we have day 11 - Kitty and Mrawh take a bath. Obviously it is just Kitty taking a bath since Mrawh doesn’t really go in for that sort of thing. He is a mudman, he objects to soap (though he has occasionally eaten soap?). This is sort of like revisiting a piece I did a long time ago with them in the bath which fun I think.

Inktober Day 8 -Kitty and Mrawh in the Graveyard
Week done!
So while I was doing thumbnails I was like why is this so boring??? But then I added ghosts and it was much better. The ghosts would prefer if they didn’t have visitors, thank you very much? They’re trying to sleep. Mrawh, of course, would prefer if they stayed asleep. No one is getting what they want tonight.

Inktober Day 7 - Kitty and Mrawh and the fence
Clearly I saw fence and draw a rock wall but it is close enough! These two are known for getting into what they shouldn’t. If they didn’t then Kitty would never have met Mrawh and we all know how tragic that would be. So here they are exploring and if one finds a barrier it is only logical to find out what is on the other side. It wasn’t like there was a sign that said for them to keep out.
Right?
