🖌️🎨 Inktober 2026 : Day 9 - Ram 🐏

My first try for this one was in a park while my daughter was playing, and on a piece of paper moving in the wind. I realized I turned the horns upwards instead of downwards, it looked like a gazelle. 🤣 However, I was pleased to see I wasn’t so far out for the skull, when I went home to check on it ( I couldn’t shake the feeling something was wrong with my horns and I couldn’t see what, so I had to check).

So this is my second try, no tracing, no AI, no direct reference. First try on iPad though. I’m quite pleased, it may seem so easy to everyone else but I’m glad it also started to feel easier to me too ! I don’t ink. So Inktober is always challenging to me. I like drawing perfect shapes, and here I have to stop doing that, start letting go. This one is still very symmetrical though. And my style looks more like sketches than finished drawings, as I focus on drawing the shadows, leaving way more light, contrary to everyone else.

I always thought these skulls were ominous. But I did feel calmness when drawing this one. I do hope I’m not being disrespectful to that imaginary being.
