Inktober (Day 27)…

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 Climb and the tangle Cadent…

Closeup…

I really had no idea what to do for the prompt Climb, and I’ll admit that the zentangle pattern Cadent isn’t one of my favorite tangles (I typically am not a fan of grid tangles). So I drew some hills in pencil and decided to just do the zentangle thing and tangle in the spaces… then stuff happened as you can see… I started shading and using different pens… I even added a bit of yellow that was on the other end of my blending stub for a sunset-like horizon. I wasn’t really sure it conveyed Climb… but I had a long day and I figured the tile didn’t suck, so I called it a win. 😛

The observant reader will notice that there is a snail in one of these photos, but not in the others…. that’s because my husband, who I might add is addicted to my critter drawings (owl, turtle, shark, mouse, bat, gossiping leaves), didn’t think climb was conveyed in the drawing and suggested I add a goat (while pointing at the tiles of critters on his desk and smiling). I don’t know how to draw a goat, especially one as small as I suspected I would need to draw on one of the far away hills. I do know how to draw a snail though… so I drew a snail… now, it is complete. 😀
