Inktober days 2-4 - Scurry, Bat, Scallop

avatar

I should limit my lines. I mean, I want to limit my lines! The amount of lines I have in each drawing, are they all that important? Or should I just try coloring everything to black? What if that goes too far and I become Johnny Nice Painter? That could happen you know.

scurry.jpg

This should be scurry but I'm not sure if it is or is it that the wee ones are just breaking wind? Is the bigger creature sniffing or just exhausted? Well I don't know, I meant to draw scurry but breaking wind is okay too I guess. We should make it normal to not keep things in but just let everything out. Just like that. Everything out. And while you guys are doing that, letting everything out, I'll be hanging with myself, inside, behind closed doors. Away from the smell and possible sightings that later would need to be scrubbed off with a grate from my brain.

I draw the first lines in a buss. Kinda like the wobbly line on the big creature but for some reason didn't recreate that with the pen.

Batterly battery batting. Battyfying battily bat.

Not real words? Well, not a real bat either. Just few lines.

As if drawing wasn't hard enough, drawing a creature upside down was harder. Did I actually draw it upside down is for you to ponder and for me to know. Not that it even matters but I had to write something underneath these photos.

Scallop, scallopy, scallopean!

Again I know that these perhaps aren't real words and I know that I could have made my point (drawing) with fewer lines but I got carried away. You should try it yourself. A line here, a line there, everywhere a line!

So there's the puffy lips, dentures (kinda) and two versions of a Finnish pasty called Karelian pasty. Karjalanpiirakka! Literally translated it's Karelian pie but who cares! The world is a crazy place, pies become pasties and one thing leads to another and then the worlds collide, everything melts together in an unmeasurable pressure with excruciating pain in ones toes and heart and head and soul. Forever. FORRRRRRREVERRRRRRRR!

That's my cue.

Insane over and out.

Perhaps some day. 😀 Tomorrow again a new topic so no time to tweak any of these.

That's the same plan I had back in 2019 when I started to do Inktober drawings and although it may sound like a good plan, I have not yet done a single prompt again because... well, I don't know why. There's always something more important to do or I'm just lazy. But nevertheless a good plan! 😁

Awesome. I’m speechless because you said what needed to be said. Not too many words not too many lines. I love your posts in inktober. Always have. Your prose alongside the art is just that, prose. A work of word art. Thanks for sharing your mind, I really love to read your work.

Oh, thanks! I always think that I ramble and say too much. And if I'm lucky the things I say may be about the thing that I'm supposed to talk or write about, usually I just go off topic incredibly quickly.

Free writing free thought unrestricted. Those are the best in my opinion. So don’t hold back even if only a couple of people understand your ramblings!

even if only a couple of people

I usually think there's not even that couple people who understand as I tend to write words in any order I feel like (even if I write in Finnish) and my thoughts aren't always that clear to me either so those couple readers makes me really happy. And it makes me double happy as I move on really quickly and when people respond with a delay (after I've forgotten what I've written, like 2 seconds after) and I'm all surprised: "Oh, is this what I wrote and I got a response after this long time!" (4 seconds)

That is the mind of a genius! I would reckon. But aside from that, it is nice to let things ferment for a while to only reflect on them when some time has passed. Like a good whisky or wine, time is an essential ingredient.

Fermenting is definitely a good thing to do.

I wonder if you can make something with the words “reflect” and “ferment” with your word games! Maybe they resonate with you and one of the inktober prompts and you can use them.

I will certainly let my brain stew that idea for a while, ferment on it and get back to you if there's anything worth while saying. Oh who am I kidding, I have not let anything stop me before if the things I have to say aren't even good so I think all the ideas I get, good or not so good, you will hear of it. :D

Yes! In fermenting your mind you will have “good and bad” but bad is not not-good! Bad is just not what you are desiring or going for or aiming at! But that does not mean you cannot share it as well!

It is really funny idea to gather the topic of few days and combine in one, love it.

Thanks! It's also practical. I either forget or haven't got the time to draw or post or do both every day so then this happens.
