Here is an evening time doodle of our coffee table. By some miracle we have kept these two plans alive for quite some time….even though our cats do occasionally try and eat the leaves.

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!

67-2188 – Moving target
Here is a very quick sketch of the newest member of our family “General Tapioca”. There is part of another drawing in this one – he doesn’t stay still for long, even when he’s sleeping. He’s the younger brother of Captain Haddock…so at the moment he looks like a “mini me” version of him! They are not quite friends yet, but getting there.

2181 – Hit the gong
Here is another sketch from our holiday in Siquijor that I didn’t finish! This was a place we had lunch in San Juan, after finding dive shop for the next days excursion. The place had a nice atmosphere and great veggie burgers! (https://www.facebook.com/MonkeyBusinessSiquijor/about)

2178 – Ferry
This sketch goes back a bit to the ferry we took from Dumaguete to Siquijor. I only managed to the ink during the ferry trip…and even then only partly. I finished off the painting yesterday.

2185 – Dumaguete airport
Here is the last sketch I did on our little holiday, of course at the airport on the way home. People were moving around a lot, so some figures were half done…or overlapped with others.

66-2179 – Mermaid and banana tree
This concrete statue is at the end of the garden in the place we are staying in Maria town, Siquijor. In real life it looks a lot better than my sketch…somehow she came out looking like a hunched over guy holding a cannon (its actually an urn or water jug).

2169 – Driftwood
This plant (which I think is sometimes called an elephant ear plant for obvious reasons) was sitting on the terrace where we were staying in Anilao. Behind it the owner has places big sheets of driftwood…lots of fun to draw…and lots of ink!

2168 – Messing about with boats
Here is the second sketch I did on our long weekend at the coast. Below the place we were staying (you have to go down a lot – and I mean a lot – of narrow steps, to get to the sea) there was this boat and jet-ski pulled up onto the hard standing. I know nothing about boats but I do love sketching them. I spent quite a bit of my time as I sketched this, chatting to a guy selling decorated blankets…it’s always nice to get a bit of feedback.
