Drawtober 2025 No.31 Balls!
Content Notes: A lighter view of the guard dog of Hades. It's always the way, there are balls lying around everywhere, but which one does your typical doggo want? The one that someone else has. Fortunately in this case the serpent headed tail of the hellhound is willing the throw it for the rest of itself.I like putting as much monster as I can - so I'm going with the descriptions of Kerberos as having the serpent headed tail, and the fur made up of snakes, I don't think it's done enough.
Various inks, including Diamine's Glacier, Bliss, Cocoa Shimmer and Sugar Snap and Robert Oster's Red Orange.
This was a great bunch of prompts and I hope that everyone else has had as much fun as me, whether drawing, viewing, or both!
Super fun Drawtober, thank you Drawesome community on Dreamwidth for the organisation!

Drawtober Prompt No.30 'Mask'
I was thinking about the Owl Service by Alan Garner (not anything in the book like this), and the Welsh legend of the woman of flowers, and thinking about a masquerade and vaguely wondering whether it's a good thing or a bad thing putting on a mask sometimes...
Diamine's wonderful Grotto ink, in my wonderful Diplomat, such a lovely pen to write and draw with. I probably should have grabbed a mask as a model but I think it turned out reasonably well without any references. Also I walked 9.5 kilometres today, so I was a bit tuckered when I drew this.

Dreamwidth Drawesome Community Drawtober Drawing Challenge Prompt No.29 Bell
Content Notes: Vaguely inspired by stories of hearing about mermaids ringing the bells of submerged churches to warn of storms.Diamine's Sugar Snap ink, with the bell using Pelikan's Golden Lapis. Touches of another ink which I don't know what it was.

Drawtober Prompt No. 28 Bridge of Stars.
This is based on one of my husband's short fictions, which you can read here https://aus.social/@rdm/115356792160095459 if you like. The ink is Cosmic Glow from Diamine and the line work is done with my beloved Rotring Art Pen.

Drawtober No.27 Fire
Content Notes: Drawn with a Kaweco Sport, mainly. I'm not sure what the ink in the Kaweco Sport was, that I used for the dragon. It's got a sheen, and also seems to have a shimmer, so maybe I can track it down, but it's closest to Sleigh Ride from Diamine so let's go with that for now.
NEWSFLASH it's not Sleigh Ride, it's Spiced Apple, ignore what's written on the artwork it's *wrong*, I scrolled back and found what I had loaded it with in Mermay!
The new Pelikan ink helped with the orange bits, and the rest is just some brush markers.

Dreamwidth's Drawesome Community's Drawtober prompts No.26 - Noisy
Wayyyy back in the mid 80's I discovered the Rotring Art Pen, which is now sadly discontinued. It's always been my favourite to draw with. Got to be one of the nicest pens to work with ever for drawing. Murray Ball of Footrot Flats Fame used them too.
Anyways, this is a Bandin - or a White Cheeked Honeyeater, one of the local birdies here in Perth, and I've drawn this noisy little squeaker from a photo that @rdm took by Derbarl Yerrigan. These birds are quite often mistaken for Bandiny, the New Holland Honeyeater, but a quick look at the eyes will establish which you're looking at, Bandin have dark eyes, and Bandiny (Not pronounced Bandinee, more like the 'n' in onion) have white eyes.
These are a striking bird, and quite often they're the ones who'll be the first to alarm call if there's a cat, owl or raptor about with their thin, shrill call that goes right through your head.
This time I did a pencil sketch beforehand, no Drawingwithoutanet this time oooh what a slacker...
Took somewhere between an hour and two hours. I think. You'll have to ask @rdm

Drawtober Day 25. Prompt was 'Map'.
It's the last day of my Inkvent Calendar from 2023 and it has given me one of my favourite combinations in an ink, purple and shiny! This is Diamine's "Raise a Glass" Ah, who doesn't love a map! Great prompt. I guess Raise A Glass started me thinking about wine dark seas and I just started with the little dragon being the North arrow and drew from there.

Drawesome Drawtober on Dreamwidth No.24 Forgotten Things
Content Notes: Well a bit of a bonus today. Firstly thanks to @Steveg58 for the suggestion of a dragon settling down for so long it became part of the landscape and forgotten by people, because I needed inspiration. And it's a special day, we have two inks, because today was the Pelikan Hub event, and Pelikan kindly gave registered attendees a bottle of the year's ink, which you can see below. It's a bright one!
It's Apricot Achat in the Eidelstone range. The other ink is the 24th ink the inkvent calendar that I'm nearly at the end of, Sugar Snap - it was the 2023 calendar and I think there were some beauties in it!
So without further Ado, here we are, not wonderful photos tonight but I'm a bit tuckered now.

Drawtober Prompt No.23 Undersea
And in what is starting to be in the grand tradition of using an Inkvent Calendar during one of these challenges Diamine has presented me with the standard ink "Fireside Snug" which I think is about as far as you can get from an Undersea prompt.However this thing just started drawing itself with the dip pen, and when you think about the colour of some of the kelp you get around here it all falls into place, so, my friends, let me present to you the:
"Giant Kelpy Seadragon. This large and cryptically adapted dragon is no relation to the Leafy Seadragon being much bigger and no relation to the pipefish at all. They can be found anywhere there are large stands of kelp, particularly favouring the larger species like Giant Kelp.
Their cryptic colouration and fronds lets them ambush their prey, usually fish. There is no evidence that the resident Giant Kelpy Seadragon took Prime Minister Harold Holt although residents say that the creature was 'unusually agitated at the time' for reasons unknown.
Calls to destroy the beast were shouted down by locals and conservationists, and Finnigan, as the beast was affectionately known, was a popular attraction for many years before starting a migration to the Sargasso Sea in 1973 where the species is believed to spawn. What happened to Finnigan after this is unknown."

Drawtober Prompt No.22 Celestial
Content Notes: I went back to the nib that gave me no trouble and it was such a relief. Today's ink is Diamine's 'Tinsel' and a fine ink it is indeed, even sparkling for the camera in the late afternoon sunshine.
A Celestial Dragon of some sort is making some galaxies and stuff, as you do.

Drawtober 2025 No.21 Rhythm
Content notes: I got so, so frustrated with the nib that I was using, it just wouldn't flow properly, I had to keep dipping and tapping and it would pool in the nib but not at the tip and threaten to get all over everything at once and I'm still really grumpy about it.
But. The ink is really pretty, it's Tranquility from Diamine and it's a lovely purple, and as if to try to make up for the nib it showed off some of its Chameleon sparkle for the camera.
I'm so grumpy though, I need cheering up. *So, I need a caption for this picture.*
If you're not familiar with why it is this Rhythm Band is in such peril ask in the comments.

I love the evocative prompt so thank you to whoever had that idea! The ink is a chameleon shimmer from Diamine called Astral, and I even managed to get you a hint of its sparkle. As is usual drawn straight ink to paper so any mistakes we all just have to live with.
This page turned out to be more writing than drawing but I thought it was in keeping with being the diary entry of some off-planet amateur archaeologist surveying an intriguing site with a helpful local guide.
Here's a transcript in case you can't read my writing.
***
Desert Ruin.There was not a lot to see.
My guide gestured. "Here we are."
Amongst the sand there were a few scattered stones, probably parts of some walls. But the main item was a dark stone statue half buried in the sand. Upright, large eyed and winged, although one was broken, the tip lying next to the sculpture."Thank you." I said to the guide. "Did the ancients look like this, do you think?"
A snort was my reply. "No one know what they looked like. They made us what we are, gave us intelligence and language but didn't deign to leave us with thumbs. All we have is an oral tradition of powerful beings."
I put down a survey marker. "Do you mind helping me?"
My guide flicked an ear. "You're paying me. And you made sure I can get the saddle off if I need to."

Back here again from #Dreamwidth and the #Drawesome community's take on artistic October with their Drawtober prompts. These are suggested by the community and they are a lot of fun.
If you click on https://drawesome.dreamwidth.org/tag/drawing+challenge+74+-+drawtober+2025 you'll be able to see the other members' works as well.Today's prompt is No.19 - Flutter.
Dip pen and nib, the ink is Diamine's Cinnabun which is warm and very good to work with - smooth and rich. Usual, no pencil, no rubbing out. These psuedodragons are inspired by the real life Draco volans that has extended rib structures that enable it to glide.
One of the creatures has caught a dragonfly, and is unwilling to share with its companion.#FountainPenink

Drawtober 2025 Prompt 15. Glitter.
Dip pen and nib, the ink is Diamine's Walnut. Usual ink straight to paper. And while it is a perfectly servicable drawing ink, a dark sepia - it is an unfortunate ink to come up in the inkvent calendar on the day that Glitter is the prompt. *sigh* So it's the first prompt that I feel I have not really stepped up to the plate properly in execution. The deadly glitter I was imagining in this basilisk's eye I don't think really comes across. Maybe if I put a wash over everything except the eye? But I wasn't brave enough to do it.
Well maybe it doesn't really mean it. My basilisk/cockatrice usually wear sunglasses anyway because they tend to be friendly types.
The people at my Community Shed's art group burst into laughter when I referred to it as a killer chook.#FountainPenink
