Inktober 2018

An attempt was made...
Through online sharing sites I noticed last year Inktober, and though I am late to the party (as usual) and gleaning snippets of what this is about with no concrete , I gathered it was for artists to post online an ink drawing for each day of October.  I anticipated my participation in Sept as Inktober came around again this year, and was quickly overwhelmed by this daunting challenge.
I guess its hard because I make it hard on myself.  Lines crisp, shapes precise, composition planned,  decisions weighed and deliberate.  Mistakes are to be avoided lest they hamper the intended result.  As we just passed Bob Ross birthday We dont make mistakes, we just have happy accidents.  - a nice sentiment, but easier said than done for me personally.  I just dont _relax_.
I was dissatisfied with some attempts not meeting my expectations, I didnt want to just submit squiggles on the back of a napkin.  Fell short of my monthly quota, but quality over quantity.
Here is my Inktober.  Enjoy.
