Beating the System

10/19/15 Inks

When I drive down this street in my neighborhood during the summer, these five maple trees all look similar. Today each showed unique coloring patterns.

I’m no longer frustrated about having to limit my use of color for Inktober; I figured out how to beat the system. As I learned on Saturday, all it takes is having lots of pens and inks (both of which are in ample supply at my house.) Yes, this sketch would have been easier to do with watercolors, but getting all my color from inks is challenging (and fun) in a different way.
