Flowing Thoughts -Inktober
My 10th drawing for Inktober
I have decided to get out my ink pens and join in with Inktober, you can find more details about Inktober on the website: https://inktober.com/.
For my tenth drawing I went with the Inktober prompt suggestion of Flowing. I started by playing with the inks, letting the ink flow along droplets of water. The next stage was building a drawing around these flows of inks.

Creating my drawing
Letting my ideas flow!
I started by masking of a section of the paper that would become the shape of the head. I then placed the drawing board and paper vertically against a wall, and placed a tub underneath to catch any droplets of ink. Using a brush I applied water to the paper and then on top of the water placed droplets of ink. The droplets flowed across the water and down the paper to create a series of lines.

Simple yet powerful finishing!

Thank you, this was a very playful piece from me today - I had fun playing with the inks.
Art should be fun!!
I didn't know that it actually exists an official INKTOBER prompt list :D :D oh why I didn't see it before :( maybe I will do the same, but in November because November is my birth-month :D :D and nice drawing
There are a few other lists floating around too, I've seen some great ones. Though you don't have to follow the list - it just helps with ideas.
That is the first one that I saw. Well, I wanted to be a part of Inktober already in the previous year but I forgot and I forgot also this year. Since October isn't over yet, maybe I can still do it this year, I really wanted that. :D
I haven't done it previous years - a fellow Steemit artist told me about it this year the day before it started, so i joined in.
One of the features that catch me from your drawings is that they are simple, simple, but they are loaded with a lot of feeling and symbology! That skill is hard to come by. I congratulate you for achieving it.
Thank you @nancybriti. I like to cut out the unnecessary and focus on the feeling of the piece - glad you enjoy it :D
Wow! you really got skills man!
Thank you very much
You're welcome! :)
I was sad to miss yesterday for inking, but it was just impossible. At least I thought about today's word whilst sitting in the detist chair AGAIN yesterday (the last time for awhile at least).
Your inks are so dreamy and thoughtful and this one too. A great interpretation of the prompt.
Feeling your pain there!
