For the past four years, I've always attempted to participate in Inktober and usually end up completing a handful of drawings. This year I really buckled down, committed to the cause, and drew nearly half of all the drawing I was supposed to! Maybe next year I'll make my way up to two thirds but no promises.

Even though Inktober and the wonderful month of Halloween are over, I thought it'd be nice to share all of the drawings I've made this past month for my first post on Steemit. So without further ado...

My Inktober Drawings

Day 1 - Maybe she's born with it; maybe it's Maybeline.

Day 2 was from one of the various prompt lists floating around the Internet; the theme was vampires. I have a habit of drawing at least one Victorian-esque woman for Inktober and day 2 was one of those days.

Day 3 I drew Sam from Trick R Treat; it's one of my favorite horror movies and I watch it every year to get into the Halloween spirit.

I believe this one was another prompt list one and the theme was "garden witch".

Day 5 was a particularly hard day for me, I had been drawing for 10 hours straight for work and realized I still needed to do any inktober for the day so I stuck with something simple.

This was probably the least favorite of the drawings I did. I think it the composition was really meant for a more rectangular canvas size but I was sticking to a square shape for easy Instagram sharing (catch ya girl at @la.fumettista)

For all you 90s kids, Day 7 was the Sanderson Sisters from the equally terrible and awesome Hocus Pocus. With the number of times the main characters gets made fun of for being a virgin, it's hard to believe Hocus Pocus was a Disney movie.

This one was another prompt - skeleton. And I was inspired by a variety of Danse Macabre illustrations.

This beauty is the demon from The Conjuring 2, a movie monster that still gives me nightmares.

Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride are also two movies I try to watch every year before Halloween; Day 11 was Sally and Emily (I think her name is Emily) drinking tea as I imagine they do quite often.

So I was a HUGE fan of the recent It movie and completely loved/was terrified by Pennywise. Naturally, I had to honor his creepiness for Day 12 of Inktober.

Peek - A - Boo! I love a lot of Guillermo Del Toro's films, especially Pan's Labyrinth. This drawing is of the creepy eye dude who almost east Ofelia.

I don't know why, but I've always had a special place in my heart for Pyramid Head from Silent Hill so I had to draw. My Instagram caption was: "Get yourself a man like Pyramid Head".

The last drawing I posted was Nancy from The Craft. This movie had been on my "watch" list for a while now and this Halloween I finally got around to watching it. I surprisingly enjoyed it... a lot. Was it the best movie? No. But I'd probably watch it again. I learned a valuable lesson too; the darker the lipstick and bigger the hair, the more powerful of a witch you become.

Thanks for sticking to the end!

I don't know how often I'll be posting on Steemit. I work as a part-time graphic designer and the other part of the time, I do freelance cartooning and illustration. I've been working on a Lovecraftian comic series written by @drwatson along with a couple of other projects so I'll most likely be posting about that.
