This Week 3 of Inktober has been odd, I've actually had a fair bit of work to get on with, but amidst the clamour of deadlines Inktober had the loudest voice, gradually things began to become more and more elaborate! All the drawings over the third week were created in a Pilot Hi-Tec fineoint, either 0.4 or 0.5, I tried as far as possible to follow the optional prompts.....

Things were getting very labour-intensive by the end of this week, I actually have commissioned work to get on with (but it just goes to show how much I'm enjoying this exercise!). Possibly I'm cutting back for the rest of the month.... but it takes me where it takes me.

So we're at the end of the second week of Inktober, in what has been a rather surprisingly eventful week for me (but that's another subject!). Here's a summary of the last seven days of my pen drawings.

They're mostly drawn in finepoint Pilot pens, but a few are drawn using the Kuretake brush pens I brought back from Japan at the beginning of this year (some of which are about to run out!). Some of these are inspired by the prompt words, others just the flow of what happens on the page.

October brings us to the social media drawing challenge "Inktober". I don't usually go for Twitter/Instagram keyword challenges, but as pen & ink is at the core of what I do I joined in Inktober last year and found it a really interesting exercise. The rules are simple - draw and post an  inked drawing to social media every day throughout October (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or whatever else you use), including the hashtags #Inktober and #Inktober2017.
