been thinking about joining Inktober this year, so i thought i would practice… only to find my india ink had dried up! so this is done with my pigma micron pens instead. about 8 x 9 inches in canson sketch book. between 1 and 2 hours.

i think i shrunk his legs in the laundry!

Looks great! Sure his legs are a little shorter, but that’s ok his laundry is all clean

Very good work! I like how you managed to put the white laundry in focus by simplifying the whole scene and adding the black background! The legs are sure shorter, but the design works very well making the viewer follow the gaze of the guy and not look at his legs!

Very nicely done Mike. I had a chuckle about the leg length.

Great job — re the legs, he looks like my cousin. lol!

Enjoy Inktober! I wanted to try it last year but didn’t like the list of daily themes I saw. Instead, I just inked on my own each day for a while.

LOL his short legs actually adds to making him look very relaxed in his pose. Great ink work and expressive marks throughout. I love it.

Well done.
Sandy.

Love this Mike! So much character in your pen work.

Don’t forget to post Inktober in the Oen and Ink forum too … in fact, you could cross post this also!:)

Cheers, Maureen

I didn’t notice his short legs till you mentioned them! I’m so impressed that you did this so effectively in just an hour.
