Inktober

It is that time of year when some people post (usually on social media like Instagram and Facebook) a quick ink sketch or drawing each day, rising to the challenge of "INKTOBER".
I have begun, but as I am very busy with botanical painting too, I may or may not adhere rigidly to the one 'every single day' thing.
I thought you might like to see the ones I have done so far.  They will eventually be available as printed cards with envelopes once I've given them some colour. And got my Etsy shop up and running.

    One a day, it would take me a week to do one. After the week my bird would resemble anything but a bird.

      Ah, you might be surprised what you could achieve Adrian.

    I am jealous. I wish I had talent like that.

      Thank you Emma. I used to wonder if I would ever be able to do these kind of simplified line drawings. It seems to have just come from all the practise I have been doing in my bird paintings. You get to LOOK and SEE for a different purpose, I think.
