#inktober #6 - sword (fern)

#inktober #5 - long

I thought about snakes. And dachshunds. And cats lolling in sunbeams. But in the morning I joined a crew pulling weeds in my local park. And what's really long?  It's ivy.

I wasn't terribly happy with the composition, and would have started over and tried something else.  But at 10:30 at night with a promise of a sketch a day, it just ain't gonna happen.

I actually got there early, so I could have a go at the koi in their pond.  For inktober, whose prompt today is 'underwater'.

There's no way that I'm going to get in the pond with the fish, so I just drew a fish's outline (a white one, cause the dark one's were already disappearing in the gloam) and then draw in what I thought his belly would look like.




The second sketch of the day was easier - the back of the jazz musician on the bass.
