Don’t mind me, completing Mab’s Drawlloween Club Day 21 on day 22… anyways, the theme was crow so I drew Eileen the Crow from Bloodborne.

Some mushies for Drawlloween!

Drawlloween 2023 so far…

So each year for the month of Ocotber i take part in a drawing prompt list called Mabs Drawlloween! Its focused on spooky/folklore promptd and its usually my favourite time of year for creativity! I find the prompts push my creativity and have helped create some of my best designs over the years! This year is my 5th year doing it and while its been a struggle so far as i’ve been in a creative rut for the last few months, i feel happy with some of the creations i’ve made so far! Figured i’d share them, so heres the creations for the prompts of witch, werecat, botanical beasts and faerie! I’m a few days behind on the list but feel free to go follow my art insta ( @ drawstax )to keep up to date with my creations!

Day 17 - Ghoul

For this one I drew my hen who is named Ghoul. she is a super sweet and friendly bird but definitely not the brightest.

Drawlloween 14: Goth Moth

Oil on paper

8.5 x 12.5cm

Had seen painting with two colors only challenges. Wanted to try a black on black but was missing the right paints. Went with red.

Alizarin Crimson & Scarlet Lake

Mab’s Drawlloween Day 8: Mushroom

Fun fact: I’ve taught mushroom identification to local schools and groups for 15 years.

DAY 16: Black Lagoon // #mabsdrawlloweenclub x

"Got an unwanted suitor? Well, this potion'll ensure they won't bother you anymore."

So I decided to be ambitious and draw my ocs Varuna (in the pink, he/him) and Khalidevy (blue skin, she/her) running a witch shop together in order to best combine all the prompts for today?

Drawlloween Day 15: Reaper

shitpost time, although even for a shitpost i spend way too long on this lmao

Drawlloween Day 11 - Web

So I had this whole idea planned out with quantum entanglement and this big elaborate piece… but it was a little much for a Drawlloween day. So instead I always thought Miss Spider from James and the Giant peach was adorable.

Mab’s Drawlloween Club, Day 27: Mythological

Amalthea and Shmendrick from The Last Unicorn

nearly there.

prompts: nocturnal, horned, tower, mythological, hunter's moon, wolfman

even if no one else notices, i know i've improved since the beginning of the month. conceptualizing what i want the finished pieces to be is much easier, this is my favorite batch so far.

Feelin’ batty on this fine Drawlloween morning!

Drawlloween day 5- Haunted

Drawlloween 29: Wolf-man

Used an old sketchbook page for this one

Mab’s Drawlloween Day 12: Toad

My favourite toad is the Fowler’s toad (Anaxyrus fowleri), a little poisonous toad native to eastern North America. According to field guides and conservationists it’s not supposed to be in Ontario past Lake Erie, but I see it all the time in the Ottawa Valley. A lot of critters (and plants and fungi) are moving up here due to climate change and habitat encroachment.

I don’t just love toads because they’re poisonous, I love them because they are perfect. They haven’t needed to evolve in millions of years. They are “sit and wait” hunters, similar to spiders that are ambush predators. They just chill in the dirt and dead leaves and wait for food to come to them. Their whole life is “just bugs”. The creators of “work smarter, not harder”. They have a lot to teach us about patience, strategy, playing dumb, and doing well despite being lazy. Role model material, honestly.
