"Talent and all that for the most part is nothing but hogwash. Any schoolboy with a little aptitude might very well draw better than I perhaps; but what he most often lacks is the tough yearning for realization, the teeth-grinding obstinacy and saying; even though I know I'm not capable of doing it, I'm still going to do it."
-M.C. Escher

#InkTober No.'s 7 - 11

#INKTOBER DUMP!

My family was visiting for the last few days, so I was a little too busy to post updates.  However, I am back and here is my make-up assignment... Forgive the quality on some of these.  I rushed a couple of them, and snapped photos with my cell phone.  Either way, I hope you enjoy them.

#InkTober No. 6

Experimenting with water brushes.  I'm sad that the ink separated, but all in all I'm ok with the product.


#InkTober No. 5

Just a quick sketch playing with my new white pen.  It's simple, but I like it...

#Inktober No. 4

Inktober No. 4 - Hatching has never been my forte, but that's what #InkTober is all about right?  Practice makes perfect...

#InkTober No. 2

My second submission for #InkTober.  Not my best work, but I certainly agree with the sentiment!

#Inktober No. 1 - It's a special day in #InkTober

Today marks day two of #InkTober! Hooray! Actually I'm a little terrified.  This idea of producing an ink drawing everyday is a little daunting.  Since I'm already behind... even more so!  But I think the delay was worth it.  See today is my 10th wedding anniversary, so I spent a little extra time working on... this!
This was a gift for my wife, and took a little longer than I had anticipated.  (I had to do it when she wasn't looking see.)  Not to worry though, I will catch up... I hope... Wish me luck.  Until next time.

P.s.  If you are wondering what all the #InkTober stuff is about, check out ...

Or just google #InkTober to see all the glorious work being produced!
