Here is a very quick sketch for day 5 of #Inktober2022, following the subject of “flame”. I didn’t have much time to do this, so picked the most obvious thing to draw.

67-2197 – Flame
Inktober
67-2196 – Scallops
This is my sketch for Day 4 of #Inktober2022 following (very, very roughly) the prompt of scallop. We didn’t eat scallops tonight (we had roast vegetables, and couscous with some salad)…but the dish has tiny weeny scallop shapes along the base!

67-2195 – Bat or racquet
I found one of our old badminton racquets, when tidying up the other day and thought it would make a challenging sketch for the next #Inktober2022 subject of #Bat. I know it’s called a racquet for badminton…but this is the closest I can get to a bat. They do fly past our balcony some evenings though…our cat goes mad when he hears them.

67-2194 – Scurry
Here is my sketch for day 2 of #Inktober2022 – following the prompt of #Scurry. The only thing that scurries (I hope) in our house is our new kitten General Tapioca. When I sketched this he was stretched out for a snooze after a long afternoon of driving us nutty!

67-2193 – Not quite but close enough
Here is my first sketch for #Inktober2022. The prompt was #Gargoyle but as I prefer to sketch from life (and didn’t have time to visit a local church) this was the closest I could get. I’m not sure where we got this little carving (it’s only about 10cm high) and I’ve sketched it before – but I think it fits with the general theme.

1895 – Risk
Here is my sketch for the last day of #Inktober2021 – following the prompt of “risk”. As I was sketching this little marble dolphin I was thinking of #COP26 and the huge risk of going above the threshold of 1.5C global heating and all the irreparable damage it will do to wildlife. So far in following the news coverage the only person who it really honest is Greta Thunberg.

1894 – Slither
Here is my sketch for Day 30 of #Inktober2021. My wife made this snake from bottle caps (the head is made from some plastic cutlery and papier-mâché) as a present for our daughters, when we were in the habit of making hand making advent presents. It’s starting to get a little rusty these days.

1893 – More and more
On Sunday I skipped the #Inktober2021 prompt and did some sketching outside whilst chatting with @TheArtofBeingPresent. This cement plant is down the road from the supermarket that is nearby. I assume it’s put up by DMCI homes who are building more and more housing where we live…I am amazed there is still demand, but I am not amazed by how greedy they are.

1892 – Then I ate them
As I write this #Inktober2021 has finished…but I still have some catching up to do, so I am going to carry on and finish the prompts. This one was for Day 28 following the prompt of “crispy”. Crisps in the UK means the same as “chips” in America…confusing I know. Until I drew this I didn’t know that the little guy on the packet is wearing chilli shaped shoes!
