Sketch Pitch #0

Trying one of the drawing challenges for Inktober month + short tale!

Happy October!

I couldn’t resist continuing the Calmtober Arts I drew from the:

Inktober Prompt Lists Overview

You know that feeling when an idea gets boiling, and you just have to let out all the steam? Yeah, I call it a curse… because you can’t stop drawing until you see it to the end.

For this prompt, I decided to combine multiple elements from the list into series of illustrations. And because I love including stories with my art, I’ve written a simple tale (with a semi-nursery rhyme) about two individuals: a bear suffering from a curse and a librarian struggling from writer’s block. Together, they experience an unexpected cure.

In a way, I can relate to the librarian character.

For the past months, I’ve been working on my novel, and I’ve hit a point where my ideas are starting to wither. Maybe living in a dry autumn climate has a way of sapping away inspiration too—blame the weather! (laughs). Hence, I added a rainy weather to the story.

I love drawing rainy scenes.

Try spotting the prompt elements in the illustrations and writings below! Enjoy…

Thanks for reading “The Libearian” (Yes, I’ll see myself out.)
