Inktober Week 4

Whoa there! It's the last week of Inktober and I managed to complete the month with an odd selection of fish hooks, creepy crawlies, architecture and finished up with another live 30 minute drawing at the National Theatre. Love that place. It's full of perspective, awkward lines and surprising textures. 

It's been a fantastic month of drawing for a number of reasons:

- It's got me back into drawing (just bought a load more paper and inks)

- I've tried and discovered new techniques 

- it was a healthy discipline to be creative every single day. 

- it got me away from the computer

- I discovered a global ink drawing community and felt part of it

One final observation: As you know, I posted each day's drawing on Instagram. Guess which drawing got the most likes in the whole month... Day 9 (see below) The one that I did after an accidentally boozy evening at The Ivy! Really NOT my best work but there is no accounting for taste :-) 

Thank you to all my friends and fellow Inktoberists who have taken the time to 'like' my drawings. I'll be back next year for sure.
