I’ve decided to do Inktober this month. 😀 Find out more about Inktober, here. Basically it’s a month long encouragement to draw every day.
Today I decided to incorporate both the official prompt list and the zentangle prompt list.
Today’s prompts were Filthy and the tangle Ix…
Closeup…
Today’s prompts were a bit more difficult… I wracked my brain for what to do for Filthy… at first I thought about adding brown watercolor to simulate mud, but then I told myself that I was ‘cheating’ for that prompt because I wasn’t drawing it in ink. So I continued trying to figure out what to do, I tried to draw a mud splatter, but I just wasn’t feeling it and tossed it aside. Then I told myself that it was my tile and I made the rules… and there is only one rule: Be creative this month, everyday. So I went back to my original idea and made a splatter with brown, black and white watercolors to be ‘filthy’. Then I tangled the zentangle pattern Ix all over the filthy tile. I’m glad I went back to my original idea, I think it turned out rather neat. 😀
By the way, can you see a bird or penguin shape in the black watercolor?

Pups…
The pups are insanely cute… but they like to put their faces and heads in odd places… Penny is leaning up against a cabinet, Duke is dangerously close to the wheels of the office chair…
Duke’s Paws
Until next time…
