A portrait of part of a tree.
Super interesting spatter effect.
Next, a pot, with a smidgeon of colored ink.
I forgot the black ink I used wasn't waterproof and so got some smudging.
Finally, a guy and a galaxy.
I pulled out a dual tip black and gray pen and a sepia pen for this one.
I look forward to more experiments with ink. It is pushing me--I felt a pretty strong desire to pull out the watercolors and make these look more like my "usual" scribbling work. But I'm resisting, at least for a bit! In particular, working with the pens and fewer colors is making me pay attention to light and dark tones more carefully. And the direction of shapes, which I need to follow with contour lines.
A "game" like Inktober does stretch your creativity. The more confined the rules are, the more you have to be creative to work within them!
