1556 – Coral and two pipes

Yesterday’s #Inktober2020 prompt was “coral”. That made it easy for me to think of what to draw because we’ve had this piece of coral around the house for many years. I regret collecting it off the beach now – I realise now we shouldn’t have done that. I think when big bits of coral wash up like this, its a sign that there has been some damage, sometimes due to people sometimes due to major storms. In any case it’s better to leave it on the beach so it breaks down into that lovely white coral sand so many beaches in the Philippines are famous for.

1554 – Dreamcatcher

Yesterday’s #Inktober2020 prompt was “trap”. I was going to sketch a cockroach trap we have but instead my wife suggested this…a much more cheerful subject. This is my daughters dreamcatcher, surrounded by Polaroid photos of her friends.

1552 – Rock-it

Yesterday’s #Inktober2020 prompt was “rocket”…no rockets in our house (not even the lettuce) so instead I drew some rocks. My daughter’s collection of pebbles..mixed up with other bits of junk.

1551 – Outpost

Thinking of something to draw for yesterdays #Inktober2020 prompt was another struggle! Eventually (with assistance from my wife and daughter) I decided to sketch this tower of wooden blocks – a game we have that is not exactly Jenga but something like it.

1550 – Protection

Here is just a quick and simple sketch for yesterday’s #Inktober2020 prompt of “armour”. At the end of the day if I haven’t thought beforehand what to sketch, it becomes a bit of a struggle – I should plan ahead a little.

1549 – Dune

Being a nerdy schoolboy at heart the prompt for #Inktober2020 yesterday was another easy choice. There is a new movie of Dune coming out in 2021 – the first one directed by David Lynch was pretty dire.

1548 – Slippery

Yesterdays #Inktober2020 prompt of “slippery” was relatively easy to follow – it didn’t take me long to think of something oily and then of olive oil. I used to think olive oil was healthy, but these days you see so much conflicting dietary advice online, it’s best just to ignore it and just have a good balanced and varied diet.
