Inktober 2021 (1)

DAY 1: (Crystal)


It's been a while since updating my art adventures - and there's been plenty! Today though, I've started the Inktober challenge. My personal touch is to also incorporate a theme. Something to entice my creativity, a little more. As sometimes the word prompts themselves, can draw a blank. My theme this year, is turtles.

I really like turtles. Something about their enormous shells taken everywhere, appeals to this introvert. Shells feature in day one: turning barnacles on this sea-turtle, into crystals.
