First days' drawings from Inktober 2018

Inktober is an annual challenge to draw daily with ink for a month. Other media are allowed but there does have to be ink somewhere. You can use prompts that they come up with or follow your own sources of inspiration. This year I’m trying to use their prompts but to also keep within a botanical related theme. So far I’ve done Lilies of the Valley for ‘Poisonous,’ a forsythia leaf because I couldn’t think of something related to ‘Tranquil,’ Brussel sprouts for ‘Roasted,” Water Hemlock for ‘Spell,’ Quince for ‘Gift,’ and Hens and Chicks for “Chicken.’ It’s kind of fun to try to think of something to connect with a particular word.

Wires, wires and more wires

It's hard not to be impressed at the number of wires around this entryway. And it's hard to believe it all works. What I am curious about is what happens when something needs to be fixed. This is from Habana Vieja, Cuba.

A Drawing for Inktober

Here's the horse that graciously allowed me to ride her on an excursion to see a waterfall near Trinidad, Cuba. This is a drawing for Inktober, a challenge to draw an ink picture everyday in October and then post online to share. Adding other media is okay. There are daily prompts to follow or not. I chose to work from travel pictures. Right now I'm working from my Cuba photos.
