Another #throwback to my February Sedona trip. How Another #throwback to my February Sedona trip. How I miss sketching there! You didn't even have to think of color - the red and greens were perfect! This time I'll share a watercolor. I am  a big fan of watercolors for travel sketching - both high portability and high enjoyment factors.

It took me awhile but I like it, as it took a very unexpected turn from my original idea. This year I have zero ambitions of actually finishing the whole inktober challenge, so each drawing is a win=)))) Watch for a version of this at the @artspot.yyc #under100artshow2021

This one was supposed to be a quick arm with bulging blood vessels sketch, but I got sucked into it and couldn't stop. Three hours later... Good thing it's a weekend😅. Anyways, I am not complaining, it was fun. I don't think I realize how much I love simply drawing with a pen.

Crystal/hands
And so it begins. This year my plan is to do pen sketches only, combining prompts from both #inktober and #joaotuber. Maybe that's the charm to finally completing Inktober in its whole 31-day glory? As much as I love ink washes, they take too long and it's wishful thinking to even consider them this year. And what are you using for Inktober this year?
