I had to do a bit of a catchup on #inktober yesterday &, to be honest, I was feeling a bit sick of it. Burn out is setting in. So I did one picture in the hatching style I’ve been developing, then another much simpler with a thicker pen. The third was somewhere between the two.

It’s @danaykroyd.bsky.social as Ray Stanz from Ghostbusters, obviously.

After a bit of searching for rock stars with ripped jeans and so on, I decided it could be the art style itself that was ragged! It’s half way through the month & I am feeling a bit ragged myself, so, I just put pen to paper and started scribbling. It may be a bit tenuous but who cares.

Is it that I’m starting to burn out? Is it that I was trying out a new pen? Is it that the faces were too small to draw in detail? Probably all these things. I like the teacups though.

I’ve skipped day 10 for the moment and will come back to it.

Day 11, “sting”. This is the first non-human subject I’ve done for inktober. It’s a bee! I love bees.
