#Inktober 17: ornament.⠀
⠀
Okay, okay, it’s a bit early to think about Christmas – but this word made me think of The Grinch (2000), directed by Ron Howard. How can we forget how the green creature steals the Christmas ornaments and decorations?⠀
⠀
The Grinch is still one of my favourite Christmas movies, and I’ll happily watch it every year.⠀

#Inktober 16: wild.⠀
⠀
Now, I know that I illustrated Where The Wild Things Are yesterday, for another prompt, but hear me out: for the word wild I chose the movie Beast (2017), directed by Michael Pearce. ⠀
⠀
I am still mesmerised by Beast, I watched it twice at the cinema and I sometimes think about it. If you’ve seen it, you’ll understand why I think wild describes the main character, Moll. If you haven’t seen it... I suggest you do.⠀

#Inktober 15: legend.⠀
⠀
For this word I chose the film Where The Wild Things Are (2009), directed by Spike Jonze. ⠀
⠀
Although not strictly a legend, I loved these mighty (and not-so-mighty) wild creatures and little Max with his king fantasy.⠀

#Inktober 14: overgrown.⠀
⠀
Overgrown jungle plants make a glorious appearance in the movie Jumanji (1995), directed by Joe Johnston.⠀
⠀
I adored this film (and liked the sequel as well, although it’s not comparable) and have some amazing childhood memories about it. Here, an overgrown carnivorous plant is grabbing little Peter’s leg. Terrifying!⠀

#Inktober 13: ash.⠀
⠀
Burn Burn Burn (2015), directed by Chanya Button, is an independent movie about two young friends who go on a road trip through England, in order to scatter the ashes of their friend Dan.⠀
⠀
In my illustration they are scattering Dan’s ashes from a cliff on the sea, and saying their silent goodbyes.⠀

#Inktober 12: dragon.⠀
⠀
How to Train Your Dragon (2010), directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, is one of my favourite animated films: I love the dragon Toothless and his relationship with Hiccup!⠀

#Inktober 11: snow.⠀
⠀
For the word snow I chose this poignant scene of the film Into the Wild (2007), directed by Sean Penn.⠀
⠀
Christopher McCandless is alone in the Alaskan wilderness, living in an abandoned bus, and here he is shouting his freedom to the world from the top of the bus in a snowy landscape.⠀

#Inktober 10: pattern.⠀
⠀
The Shining (1980), directed by Stanley Kubrick, terrifies me. At the same time, I consider it a masterpiece.⠀
⠀
This illustration was difficult for me to create because of its scary vibes and memories it brings back, but the famous corridor was the first thing that came to mind with the word pattern.⠀

#Inktober 9: swing.
⠀
There’s this incredibly sad scene in the movie Forrest Gump (1994), directed by Robert Zemeckis, where young Forrest is sitting on the swing outside his family home while his mother is “entertaining” the school principal in order to give Forrest a chance to attend school.
⠀
It is such a powerful and understated moment that makes me emotional every time I watch this film.

#Inktober 8: frail.
⠀
In the movie 500 Days of Summer (2009), directed by Marc Webb, we are shown how frail love and relationships can be. After all, you should know upfront, this is not a love story...

#Inktober 7: enchanted.
⠀
I could have illustrated many movies with the word enchanted, but my first pick was Edward Scissorhand (1990), directed by Tim Burton. The whole film has an enchanting vibe throughout and that makes it one of my favourites.
⠀
The most enchanted moment? Edward is sculpting an ice angel modelled after Kim and she dances in the snow created by the ice shavings.

#Inktober 6: husky.
⠀
Although not specifically huskies, the direwolves from the tv series Game of Thrones are played by Inuit dogs (a crossbreed related to huskies). In my illustration Jon Snow is gently petting his direwolf Ghost, in one of the most tender moments of the series.
