Inktober is a challenge to create an ink drawing every day in October and post it. This year I have chosen the theme “On the Water” Attempting to keep the time spent on each drawing to under a half hour is going to be difficult. Previous years I spent a lot more time on each one. We will see how things go. I may change things during the month.
I am posting the drawings with the most recent at the top. I am hoping that they improve as I go along.
