Hello
I don't post real work online anymore thanks to genAI so instead I'm spamming some random scribbles here

For these OC-tober sketches I also posterize the lines for extra crunch. It eats some details but I like how textured the end result is.

Paratonia @paratonia.bsky.social · 6h

I would use a scanner (or a proper camera if the paper was really textured) if I needed good dpi for the final result but since that doesn't matter here, I just take a photo with my phone and do some quick and dirty editing with levels.

They're both, honestly! I do the sketches freehand with a fineliner and then depending on the picture either clean things up a bit + add shading digitally or frankenstein everything together from a bunch of separate elements

fritz, a young man wearing a sailor shirt and shorts, standing with his hands behind his back and looking up. he is drawn without a mouth. surrounding him are many eyes in different shapes, sizes, and colors, all staring in his direction.

Thank you! I happened to find a super thin Pilot fineliner from my local art store and it's been so good for this kind of mark making

Been looking for a prompt list for OC-tober and this looks perfect!

Kaleidechse @kaleidechse.bsky.social · 17d

My #OC-tober list is ready. I have separate notes about the scenes that I want to doodle, and I boiled each one down to a single keyword in case anyone wants to follow along.

Now, the first challenge is to wait a whole week before I can start drawing. 😅

A list of drawing prompts for OC-tober 2025.
The single-word prompts are: secret, reach, noise, target, throw, weapon, science, explode, hold, accuse, plan, carry, train, cook, spill, read, dance, calm, chaos, flower, cloud, energy, craft, argue, hide, game, lock, drunk, heal, lost, together.

Day 8! One Ms Matilda Plott ❤️ and her friend Loretta ;)

Charming and a bit cocky, Matt is a particular favorite of my Ellesian characters bc I just love to draw an (over)confident grin.

#art #oc #OC-tober #ocsky

A sketch page that works as a mini comic. Matt crouches atop a wall, greeting Lori before jumping down. She takes Lori’s hand and says “My Lady❤️”
Matt is dressed in a waistcoat and stripped trousers and Loretta is wearing a long skirt and poofy blouse.

I'm no photographer, but I had fun taking these pictures of the prints for my shop. I spent a good while coming up with things to put in the background. Special shout out to my dad's friend Juha, who let me borrow his golf equipment for the Hastings one 😄⛳️
