Finished. Gratitude Challenge theme: nature. I'm getting frustrated at the limitations of my camera phone, we picked it so I can draw digitally in the go, but at the cost of a quality camera, sorry guys- it hurts my eyes too. I don't expect to do this level of work daily, but I will try to draw and post more often. #artistheatherjaeger #thespyderduster #gratitudechallenge #poisonivy #sepia #colorpencil #copicliners #prismacolor https://www.instagram.com/p/BpvwVNTFhF2ectCyFtlCFFDha0u8x2nbdhMdzI0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=196cczsfley5g

Current mood: smile. I was soooo sick to my stomach tonight with possible food poisoning but a dear friend and cousin invited me to the Gratitude Challenge for November. What can 60ish days of sketching do for me? I'm curious and hopeful to see where this goes. #artistheatherjaeger #thespyderduster #gratitudechallenge #smile #sepiatone #corpsebride #mentalhealth #wellbeing #keepgoing #dontgiveup #selfcare #ink https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpqvljll7zVq9fxK8LUc24QcfsBtbDaCvBHmfk0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n4fxeavhexvf

My last Inktober post! Missed a few days but I'm proud to have finished the challenge. My character Lephisten on a REALLY moody day. Theme: thunder. Happy Halloween everybody. 🎃🍂💀 #artistheatherjaeger #thespyderduster #inktober2018 #legendsofkatainia #ink #thunder #superheroes #blackandwhite https://www.instagram.com/p/BpnlvWhFIZOI8UgB8Y783gTpActFmB59aQmHSE0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ofra5ok2ni9l

Inktober theme: prickly. I'm about two days behind but my goal is to finish the challenge and to not rush them. #artistheatherjaeger #thespyderduster #inktober2018 #copic #sepia #prickly #instaartwork #latergram #blowfish #kawaii #disturbing #sketch #art #inks https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpc1CNfFTWSfXyF6i9ETEqu5_tfNoKDmLf2hT40/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cuys26vvvbl1

Inktober theme: muddy. My kiddo as a babe playing in the sprinkler. I'm a couple of days behind but meh. But I'll keep posting anyway. I'm determined to finish Inktober- they say third times a charm! #artistheatherjaeger #thespyderduster #inktober2018 #copic #monochrome #ink #perspectivesucks #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/BpaQjwylIDZvb9Xi8E8II0etk91Sjnt0Jejg500/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hehm2tgez5vs

Inktober themes: drain and expensive. Trying to catch up from yesterday with a quick sketch. Just nine days left of the challenge! #artistheatherjaeger #thespyderduster #inktober2018 #lineart #cyclone #money #saveourplanet #wakeup #micron #ink https://www.instagram.com/p/BpQ5gT-lcBvrh8HJiK6RPYw57KO03IQvPDbRWg0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mip5h6ri5vkf

Inktober theme: breakable. I love drawing autumn seasonal stuff. I'll color this one when I can. Everyone loving all the pumpkin things to eat? #artistheatherjaeger #thespyderduster #inktober2018 #smashedpumpkin #instaartwork #sketch #ink #lineart https://www.instagram.com/p/BpLLmp3lebee7w0-k5iz3O73NOw0kZgPahOWNA0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=91vbgobcmn12

Inktober theme: scorched. Pretty much my current state so there's very little 'cares' I give tonight but at least I'm not behind in the challenge. #artistheatherjaeger #thespyderduster #inktober2018 #sketch #dontgiveup #keeptrying #sepia #copic #zigwriter #ink https://www.instagram.com/p/BpJRfntFklXptwexcVZOyJgOHFHKdQnBhddXTY0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r4fb9wyxbun0

Inktober theme: bottle. This is a gift for a friend. Her son dreaming of his favorite bottle "Super Pig" while napping on his "Jack" blanket. So precious! #artistheatherjaeger #thespyderduster #inktober2018 #childrensportraits #ink #copic #staedtler #cute #monochrome https://www.instagram.com/p/BpH8kM_lknsK0R91m_tdgcMPGVUOQscXrRgLnY0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ihelo4kjddxw

Inktober theme: swollen. Sadoenia: "Tenyochi, does this look swollen to you? I think I've got something in my eye...it's probably infected. I think gonna die. Tenyochi: "You're not gonna die...it's a freakishly large eyelash." *is annoyed* It's been a crazy week, leaving little time to edit and post up my Inktober sketches. Here's the totality of my character's comical partnership. "Ten" tolerates her but she's totally clueless to his irritation. #artistheatherjaeger #thespyderduster #legendsofkatainia #indiecomics #art #inktober2018 #sketches #frenemies #copic #staedtler #original #anime #ink https://www.instagram.com/p/BpH8FDElvHkj1kAJNDcPfYjHgA6Y62BC9cvSAs0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=atcieavhgj3d

Inktober theme: angular. It kinda ended up looking retro for this one. Accidentally drew my original character Lephisten as much younger dude than I intended, aawww a wee lad! 🔥🔥🔥 #artistheatherjaeger #thespyderduster #inktober2018 #legendsofkatainia #inks #lephisten #original #indiecomics #sketch #instaartwork #copic #staedtler #digital https://www.instagram.com/p/BpBTg8XlvOChAwc-kQkETwmhj4omBNJT5266mc0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w5qe6w3xxjpq

Inktober theme: weak. This was a tough concept. I decided on drawing my original character Joshuwen and his pet Lunar Moth. I don't have much studio time today so I'll revisit this later to color it. #artistheatherjaeger #thespyderduster #intober2018 #inks #wip #vampires #kids #instaartwork #indiecomics #original #art https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo-QiODFNw3G-oyAJUdYOZ7sTXg2O7sL7AC1Wo0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4zqk92p6kdj6

Inktober theme: clock. *whew* Two finished in one day- that's a record for me! This is a small Steam Punk orb necklace I found at a convention years ago. I watched The Time Machine last night so that inspired me. Sketching on the go tonight so the watermark is from my phone again. #artistheatherjaeger #thespyderduster #steampunk #vintage #time #clockworks #sepia #copicliners #inks #sketching #timetravel #sciencefiction #stilllife #art https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo8CnDnF3cDe9h3cunOtzYdgnOe3QCQQeoX4cQ0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13utr6xeonmk3

Yesterday's Inktober theme: Guarded. My serious self-portrait. A pensive, reserved, and stern Heather, but I have my silly, fun and quirky days too. This took me about a day and a half. Inktober is great for getting out of the comfort zone and exploring new art techniques. #artistheatherjaeger #thespyderduster #inktober2018 #portraits #anime #manga #digitalart #firealpaca #surfacepro3 #inks https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo7aho5lZpqW_XrXHMPaWrGrdk7gXYpMnCe1hE0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=faom4dqna1rj

Inktober catch-up themes: precious, flow, cruel and whale. I ran out of my buffer and it had been a crazy past few days so I figured I'd roll it all into one piece of work! Relevant to the recent climate change announcement that we have ten years...ten years to turn things around. Veggie burgers anybody? #artistheatherjaeger #thespyderduster #intober2018 #humpbackwhale #toxic #pollution #climatechange #nature #digitalart #inks #sketch #instaartwork https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo3CwIkFTJhfiVevavAVaB3Q2827l67fdyb4h80/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cpxo2ut7qz41

Inktober theme: Star. I really wrestled with what to do with this one. Eventually I settled on my character: Empress Lucilia the Evening Star aka "The Star of Kelestia" the namesake of her galaxy. I ran outta daylight to ink it, and had to do the "watermark" with my phone so I'll catch up and work on this more later on. #artistheatherjaeger #thespyderduster #inktober2018 #star #legendsofkatainia #sketch #wip #anime #manga #original #indiecomics #oc #lucilia #empress https://www.instagram.com/p/Bosdj9plm2LUcjv-EwUqu1ePFqYagWz6A1Vl7k0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hgexb82i8fn1

Inktober theme: Exhausted. Ohhh how I know this all too well! But I was lucky my little one wasn't much of a cryer, just many, MANY, hard sleepless nights.
