Here is another belated sketch for #Inktober – this one on the theme of overgrown. I should have really drawn our balcony which is heaving with plants but by the time I got round to drawing, it was dark. So instead this is one of my daughters succulent plants.

Here is my sketch for the #Inktober prompt of ‘legend’. Believe it or not this stuffed toy belonging to my daughter, is actually supposed to be a unicorn – a legendary animal. Goodness knows where we got this toy from…but it was fun to draw anyway. To me a unicorn is a mythological animal like a horse with a single horn – apparently they first appears in early Mesopotamian artworks and in Indian and Chinese myths. However these days a unicorn also means a privately held startup company valued at over $1 billion!

Here is a quick sketch for the #Inktober prompt of “ash” – I did this one really quickly but I don’t think I can catch up before the end of the month!

I have missed a few days sketching and posting, not least because our internet went down for a couple of days. I am also way behind with #Inktober! All the same here is a drawing for the prompt of dragon. This is a wooden box we bought in Bhutan when we used to live there – lovely design…difficult to sketch!

This is my last sketch in the Turks and Caicos Islands (for a while, as I am heading back home….and posting this in transit for a change) – of the airport of course. Despite all the colour – rare in an airport I find – and the minimal amount of ink, I am still following the #Inktober prompts (this one was ‘snow’). As I was drawing this I was wondering if frozen yogurt (which is what Turk-berry sell) is similar to snow cones – I wouldn’t know as I’ve never tried either of them.

Here is another #Inktober sketch for the prompt of pattern. There are patterns everywhere of course, but for this one I was looking at the rug under the table.

Missed a day sketching (too much work to do) but here is one from the other day – following the #Inktober prompt…a ceiling fan doesn’t really swing, but it’s close enough for me!

Back to sketches for #Inktober – the prompt of ‘fragile’ made me think of two things – glass the the ecosystem….so I combined the two. A glass I had just had a drink from and a big conch shell behind it.

This is the closest I can get to the #Inktober prompt of enchanted…I am thinking Snow White and the poisoned apple. Doing these Inktober sketches I am trying to stick to ink and one colour only…I hope it is teaching me something.
