#inktober 19th:Worm Rescue
Several worms have been saved today.
#inktober 17th & 18th: Twilight & Tiredness
I forgot to post yesterday’s #inktober drawing, and today’s is just a scribble as I’m very tired! I don’t find it hard to draw every day but it can be tricky to remember/find time to post daily…
#inktober 14th, 15th & 16th…
On the 14th I nearly forgot so did a quick sketch late at night…
On the 15th I experimented with adding red pencil to pentel brush pen…
...and on the 16th we had some peculiar visitors at the end of our garden.
#inktober 13th: palette
Today I didn’t find time to draw anything, so for #inktober I’m posting a scrap of paper that started as I doodled a few characters then got reused as a palette as I tested out different inks last week.
Sometimes I think there’s more life in these scraps than in the finished pieces – I overlap colours as I test them in a way I daren’t try in something I’m going to show people. So…maybe I need to see if I can bring some of that into my artwork.
#inktober 12th: walkies
Today I passed a woman taking her dog for a walk IN A BUGGY. He (she?) was wearing a cone round his/her neck.
(In fact she was arranging a rain cover over him but I thought that wouldn’t make such a good picture).
#inktober 11th: fox
Today’s random colour was a plastery kind of light pink, I couldn’t think of a way to use it as a main colour (in a short space of time) so I used it for this ice cream instead.
#inktober 10th: ow!
On Friday my 7 year old had such bad growing pains that the school called me to pick her up…
It passed eventually but it was Very Painful for her (and horrible for me not really understanding what was happening, my other kids have never had growing pains).
#inktober 9th: Coming Home
…darker than usual!
