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.
