More Inktober

'I haven't managed to keep up with these every day, but here are a few more. These ones use Pitt pens in various shades of grey, one uses coloured ink and 3 are just done with ball point pens (Bic) 

I received a message on twitter from the online magazine CNN Style, I believe they are a part of the TV channel CNN. ( Cable News Network)   They wanted to run an article about the origin of Inktober and the reasons why people around the world join in each year. Initially they wanted to ring me to conduct an interview, but as I was at uni I asked them to email the questions and I would reply asap with photos. 

A week later and one of my Intober sketches ended up in their article, how cool is that!

Inktober

Every year during the month of October artists the world over come together to use the hashtag #inktober and share their artworks created using ink. 

See the blog of Jake Parker for more info. 

Here are my first week's worth of inky scribbles. I barely have time to join in as I am so busy, so these really are scribbles. 

I wanted to try out my Elegant Writer pen and a water spritzer.. so all my pieces so far use these.

Day 7

Some subjects suit this better than others, I have also varied the amount of water used. It has been interesting watching these scribbles melt and blend, some went disastrously wrong and disappeared completely. 

My favourite by far from this batch is number 7 the tree.
