I recorded this for a YouTube video so I'll be uploading that to my channel, Aldo Ink at some point in the future, along with a cleaned up version of this drawing. It was a lot of fun, but I think I could have done better, so I might give it another go with the other side. I'm surprised how little I had to change my style to get it to match up with my face's proportions, but it's a bit of a blend between the two. #toonme #toonmechallenge #feraldoodle #aldoink #selfie #nofilter https://www.instagram.com/p/B76xJbjAUlA/?igshid=gcp9jnpk74es

It's me, except I'm an old man, because I haven't got enough out of this "I'm 30, so I'm old now" bit that wasn't really funny in the first place. I really enjoyed drawing this, because it feels like all I've done for the past two months is monochromatic drawings, and today I got to do something in full colour. And then crap all over that by converting it into another monochromatic drawing. Whoo. I also recorded this thing, and turned it into a video, so head over to YouTube, search Aldo Ink, subscribe to my channel, like all my videos DON'T WATCH THEM. Definitely don't watch them with the sound on. Turn the sound off, enjoy the art, do not listen to the stuff I say. #feraldoodle #aldoink #huevember #krita #art #drawing #illustration #selfportrait #ageup https://www.instagram.com/p/B5gkVP3gE64/?igshid=jv2b6uq59a5c

I didn't save day 23 to my phone, and I want to post these all in order, so I'm temporarily posting this early and will archive it when I can get back to my computer tomorrow do the actual post. Today is my 30th birthday, so it seemed like a wasted opportunity not to draw myself for day 28. So I'm just going to ignore the fact that I screwed this up and pretend that I've posted this on the right day tomorrow. #feraldoodle #aldoink #feralhuedle https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ar3OIjnOH/?igshid=1xeu5che9ybty

It's time for Huevember, and this year I've decided to create portraits of YouTube artists. I'm not sure if I'll be able to post daily, but I'll try to complete the full set by the end of the month. Last year I only did 24 hues (the primaries, secondaries, tertiaries, and quaternaries), but this time around I've split the wheel evenly into 30, so it's just the additive/subtractive primaries that will be named colours this time around. If you haven't seen my last Huevember pieces, there's info on the various hue names, their composition, and other trivia, as part of the upload. They're not not far back from here (I was 5 months late completing it), so they'll be easy to find. I'm hoping to get at least one or two colour focused videos up on YouTube this month, but I'm just hoping I'll actually complete Huevember this time around, so I don't want to promise anything and underdeliver. #huevember #feraldoodle #aldoink https://www.instagram.com/p/B4VZY7bjmqF/?igshid=17nj2qo4jyrl3

The piece I created for last August's Scrawlrbox. I painted this back in September, but have only just gotten around to posting the accompanying video, so here it is now.

9 Unopened Scrawlrboxes + 2 already opened Scrawlrboxes + 1 Scrawlrbox coming any day in the post = 12 Months of incoming Scrawlrbox unboxings Now that I'm back to uploading videos on YouTube, I can continue where I left off with my unboxings videos, so if you're concerned I'm going to miss a week, or run out of content, you know there's at least 12 videos on their way. If you're still concerned, I have all of my Huevember footage, and a good chunk of Inktober illustrations in reserve, and I'm still working on two new series, with a potential third and fourth in mind. So now is the best time to subscribe to Aldo Ink, if you want to see what I'm up to every week #feraldoodle #aldoink #Scrawlrbox https://www.instagram.com/p/B0GUjWJj1uG/?igshid=1opwa76mcxxcn

You may remember this from a few weeks ago, and now it's a video! Check out Aldo Ink on YouTube. Do it! Or don't, whatever... This is the first in a series of videos I'll be doing. Rather than talk over the top of a drawing or explaining what it is I'm doing, I'm going to be doodling along to a topic that I'm talking about. Illustration is fun. I'll also be talking about the experience of starting a YouTube channel and what it's been like so far. #aldoink #feraldoodle #youtube #art #drawing #doodle #illustration #ink #introspection #narrative #artistofinstagram #doodleart #artist #voiceover #videoart https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz_hpXWjnJL/?igshid=1noohk3ax2qgz
