Post-Inktober Days 8-11. I've slowly added many layers of ink wash and even more masking fluid. Tomorrow, I will remove the blue masking fluid (scary!) and add the final details.

Post-Inktober Days 6-7. I got to test out the horizontal capabilities of my new easel with the first couple of layers of ink wash. It's so fun to paint with a big brush after all of that painstaking work.

Post-Inktober Days 3-5. I am finished filling in the lines and I am ready to start ink wash! I had to spend about an hour erasing the last of the pencil. I don't think I've ever been so happy to do that.

Post-Inktober Days 1-2. I'm almost done with the craziness at the top of this tree. By far the hardest part of this whole drawing so far.

Inktober Day 31. This is how far I made it in 31 days. I'm going to keep posting daily until it's finished. My dog is judging my progress on the second slide Lol.

Inktober Days 29-30. I really like the crown of this tree. It's chaotic and scraggly and definitely gives off that essence of Halloween.

Inktober Day 28. I feel like I'm getting somewhere. I've been playing around with various ink wash and masking fluid ideas while working (slide 3).

Inktober Day 27. I just have to keep going. Today I've been watching both Monster: The Ed Gein Story and The Exorcist.

Inktober Day 26. I'm getting impatient and I want to break out the ink wash. I have at least two days before I get to that point, I think.

Inktober Day 25. I can finally start on the top!

Inktober Day 24. Progress. I am using all the nib sizes this year.

Inktober Day 23. The branch is no longer naked. I'm really questioning if I will finish this by October 31 lol

Inktober Day 22. I'm really ready to get some pine needs on that next naked branch.

Inktober Day 21. Needles and twigs.

Inktober Day 20. Some big pine needles in the foreground. These ones were fun.

Inktober Day 19. Okay, I know this bottom part looks totally insane right now, but bear with me. It's only the first layer haha.

Inktober Day 17-18. I didn't have any time to draw yesterday. That was part of the plan since I knew it would be too busy. This is what I drew on Friday. I'm back on it tonight!

Inktober Day 16. This little area took forever. Lots more to go!

Inktober Day 15. Does anyone else see the eye? I feel like I have to keep that now haha. ๐

Inktober Day 14. Progress at 2 weeks. Now, time for a million pine needles.
#inktober2025 #inktobernoprompts #inktober #ponderosapine #fabercastellpittartistpens
Inktober Day 13. More branches!

Inktober Day 12. The top of this tree is a ridiculous maze. I've started improvising branches that I like better than the original in some areas.
#inktober2025 #inktobernoprompts #inktober #ponderosapine #fabercastellpittartistpens
Inktober Day 11. I reached the top of the trunk! 29 inches of that texture (about 74 cm).

Inktober Day 10. I worked on this big section of snarled branches today. It took a while to get all of those lines correct without making too much of it pure black.

Inktober Day 9. I got burned out on bark so I focused on limbs today.
#inktober2025 #inktobernoprompts #inktober #ponderosapine #fabercastellpittartistpens
Inktober Day 8. The bark at the top of the tree is harder. I spend a lot more time using a fine and a superfine liner.

Inktober Day 7. Progress at one week. I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere.
#inktober2025 #inktobernoprompts #inktober #ponderosapine #fabercastellpittartistpens
Inktober Day 6. I got through a few more inches of bark. Now that I've figured out how to keep my place, it's getting a bit easier.
