Wanted to do this for the longest time and finally did it. Solstice day in Iceland, from midnight to midnight

What I did:
Ran errands the whole day and did all them productive adult things.
What I should've done instead:
Stayed home lying in bed in my purple monster onesie in a Lain Iwakura-style.

Today's #inktober drawing is a little different.
I made it during out #Pathfinder game, when our DM asked me to draw a
"circular seal made of glowing mist and light, formed by three slowly rotating rings: an outer spiral of wind-like lines that fade into vapor, a middle ring of softly glowing runes (ᚺᛚᛁᚦ ᚨ ᛊᛏᛟᚱᛗᛁᚾ) spaced evenly around it, and an inner circle where the surface dips into a shallow bowl of light with faint lightning veins beneath."

Sharpening pencils can be quite an experience.
Sometimes, you lose yourself in the process and get too rough, breaking the tip of the pencil and feeling like you’re snapping a head of a bourgeois.
Other times, you can be as careful as a small child, gently poking the tip of the pencil as if it were a baby tooth, checking if it's not wobbling and if it’s safe to put more pressure on it.
Either way, very satisfying and entertaining

I've noticed I am drawn (hehe) to pencil sketching lately.
Haven't really touched colored pencils for years, so I'm re-learning how to use them.
Obviously, I had to start this journey by sharpening dozens of pencils of various colors and brands that I own.
8 yellow, 6 red, 6 pink, 8 blue, 10 brown, and so on (over 70 in total), and only 1 (!) purple colored pencil. #mastoart people, is this too few purples or one too many?

I played Superliminal on and off throughout the day, so today's drawing is inspired by it.
Also it turned out to be a bit more tricky to draw than I thought, because, well,

every single day of #inktober I sit down at 11pm, trying to gather the rest of my energy to draw something that is good enough to be posted online. it's not particularly easy. I don't draw very often, and I feel if I don't force myself to do this, I will lose all my skills

while I was drawing this wannabe Pinocchio, I realized two things:
1. I haven't made any drawings with just white pencil/pen in 11 years and I think I did well
2. I could not think of any other device besides headphones that serves a certain function and the opposite one simultaneously (wearing to listen/to not listen)

Staying at my friend's cabin for the weekend. Lots of cozy things to draw.
Yesterday I saw one of the most stunning auroras I've ever seen. It suddenly appeared right above my head, covering almost the entire sky. Bright green that turned into bright pink, all flowy and curtainy. All happened within 10 seconds or so, just enough time to grab a phone and snap a pic during the green-to pink transition

I like not following prompts for #inktober – every drawing becomes an entry in some sort of a visual diary. I can look back at the drawings from last year and instantly see how I felt, how tired I was and what occupied my mind at that moment.
Today I drew a bottle of Icelandic liqueur Þristur (based on a liqueurice candy of the same name).
The moment I finished it I smudged the ink, and while fixing it, smudged it even more. Yeah.
I decided to make it a statement. It's that kind of a day.

I've been looking at men in kilts for a big chunk of the day (for work, yes), and so couldn't think of anything else to draw for the 1st of #inktober. Also TIL that listening to Dune soundtrack sometimes results in a head being set on fire.
--
Last year I had a restriction -- to sketch using only one black liner. I got a bit weary of black and white by the end of it and so this time I'll try to use _a lot_ of color instead.

The first font she published there... is named after me. My goodness :blobcatmeltcry: Here's a link to the shop https://libraryofnarrativetypes.xyz/fonts/lnt-natalia-mono

Then came the first snow and all berries froze. When they started thawing and fermenting, it began to look like all of Reykjavik's birds flew in for a wild party.
