Content Notes: This year I decided to inspire my inktober from quotes and do illustrations mixed with handmade fonts... Some are in english, some in french and I decided not to have rules regarding the use of color.
What is great with this thematic approach is that it gives me a great range of styles to call on depending the quote...
It has been a long time since I didn't draw everyday, and finding my feelings again proved a bit challenging and frustrating at time, as my hand doesn't always do what my mind would want... And I know I'm kind of weak on the handmade-font front... Something to work on next week. ^^
But I'm also having a tremendous amount of fun and for now I'm experimenting with as many styles and diverses quotes as possible... Maybe I will repeat myself later on, but for now I'm trying to keep an open mind in the treatment of each quote.
Also: I have a google doc full of quote people gave me, that I draw from when it's time to break out the ink... but I don't have enough yet to last 31 days! So do not hesitate to give me more quotes, verses of a song or a poem, perfect lines in a book… Thank you! <3
All drawings here on my journal!

These are the hills, these are the woods,
these are my starry solitudes
-----
T S Eliot
The Journey of the Magi
'A cold coming we had of it,
Just the worst time of the year
For a journey, and such a long journey:
The ways deep and the weather sharp,
The very dead of winter.'

And sculptured Ann is seventy years of stone.
Dylan Thomas

I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
William Butler Yeats
