I’m really stuck this year – maybe I just don’t have the time or focus or desire? Hard to say. I am behind. I don’t really like some of the pens I have been using for Inktober as they have to be either disposable or impervious to the corrosive effects of the iron gall ink I am using.
Maybe it’s the paper? Some of the paper I am drawing on is really old and yellowed, and not really of artistic quality. I have no idea what it is made of, and is in an sketchbook that is easily 20 years old, and one I never used.

#11 Snow





I like the pictures.
Remember that it is Socktober, too!
Your pictures are beautiful. No one but you will realize that there are problems with ink or paper.
I like them, get yourself some new pens and paper if you’re not happy with them! Especially love the frog!
I love the frog and the swing!
Thanks! I rather like the frog, too. He is not especially happy looking, which really made me laugh when I was done.
Thanks, Anne. I plan to use different paper for more of these – had to try it, though. 😎
Glad you like them. For the most part, totally displeased with most of them. And, I do have a pair of socks to finish . . .
He looks startled about having been crowned.
I was thinking more like he was last picked for a date!
Swing is gorgeous. Nailed it!
Thanks! I love swings, especially those in a tree.
Your “#11 Snow” reminds me very much of the watercolors done by Charles Burchfield, one of my favorite American artists.
Thanks for the compliment, Dad4Gracie. I like his work too!
