Photo Friday - Inktober 2016 update

Inktober is in full swing. I really need practice on my proportions and shading. It has just been too long since I last picked up my nib pen. Sigh.

Here's a rundown of this weeks ink drawings (with a special request for Henry Collins, by my friend Sharon).

I started with a thin ink pen, and did a quick pic of one of our candles (as we had a black out) but remembered why I prefer a nib, which gives better control over varying thickness (and it swoops beautifully over the paper).

This week I concentrated on characters from my books and some steampunk ringins...
