Hi guys, I’ve been doodling away over on my Instagram for the #inktober challenge. It’s so much fun!

I’m trying to follow two prompt lists at the same time – from illustrators @katnippillustration and @viktorijaillustration. Combining two words has made some fun combinations so far. I recommend you check out both of their accounts, they make some really great things.

I thought I’d do weekly (ish) roundups here as well. So, here we go! I just made this drawing this morning, and I’m quite happy with it:

Morning doodle of a lucky cat in a boat. I like how the smug look on her face turned out! #inktober #inktober2019 #cat #catsofinstagram #fishing #doodle #drawing #wordsanddoodles #katnippinktober #smug @viktorijaillustration

Yesterday, I caught up on two days of doodles with this “familiar bottle” and “tree costume”.

I just made today's and yesterday's drawings while drinking my morning coffee and listening to the rain outside, ahhh – I love rain so much! (especially when I have a day of working indoors ahead of me). Hm, my Inktober posts are turning into very boring diary entries – I'm sorry 😂 Okay, about this tree costume – I started drawing from the bottom up, which means I added the arms and then the face. So this person has VERY long arms which are oddly placed. No body shaming, but if you're planning to use my drawing as costume inspo, maybe put the arms of the tree where your arms are 🌞🤸 #inktober #inktober2019 #waterbottle #24bottles #tree #treecostume #halloween #halloweencostume #doodle #drawing #wordsanddoodles #katnippinktober @viktorijaillustration

Catching up on #inktober today. This one is from Sunday when I celebrated my birthday with my family. I got some help from my niece with this map to spiced latte ☕ But I didn't manage to add a lot of details myself, because coffee and cake. And good people ❤️ Now I'm about to draw some more. #inktober2019 #doodle #wordsanddoodles #drawing #coffee #spicedlatte #map #katnippinktober @viktorijaillustration

So, today's combination of words was a bit more difficult than yesterday's. I googled "recycled snake" and there was some surprising pinterest stuff 😂 don't worry, not things made of snake, but snakes made of things 🐍🐍🐍 #inktober #inktober2019 #wordsanddoodles #doodle #snake #drawing #snek #cakesandsnake #katnippinktober @viktorijaillustration

"Cosy witch" and "hat" – the two prompt lists I'm following for Inktober aligned perfectly today. All I had to do was add a cat, a smartphone, a to go coffee and some poop 💩 Or maybe I didn't HAVE to, but this modern boss witch doesn't care – she wears sunglasses indoors and uses magic to clean up poop and generally gets it DONE 🏋️‍♀️ #inktober #inktober2019 #illustration #doodles #wordsanddoodles #witch #drawing #katnippinktober @viktorijaillustration #cats #poop

Cosy sweating and trying out new snacks. I drew the beginning of this doodle on the bus home from work, but there wasn't a lot of light and my eyes got too tired, so just finished the drawing on the couch. In other news, I also threw my back out a bit and saw a marching band practice in normal clothes today. Stay tuned for more exciting stories like this one! 🤸 #inktober #inktober2019 #wordsanddoodles #doodle #drawing #illustration #illustrator #commute #sweater #october #snacks #katnippinktober @viktorijaillustration

I already shared Day 1 of Inktober here on the blog.

Follow me on Instagram @wordsanddoodlesblog if you want to see the doodles I make (almost) every day. If not, there’ll be another collection here later 🙂

Also – I recently made an account over here:

Check it out if you want to support my doodlings and verbal ramblings. And as you might know, I also have a Redbubble shop with some cute stuff, if I must say so myself 😀
