Inktober 24/31: “Expedition” Another prompt that feels like “hike, trek, roam” - prompts we’ve already seen this month. So why not use it to draw a bunch of dogs! Hope you like it. #inktober #inktober2024 #dogs #husky

Inktober 20/31 “Uncharted” Definitely the hardest prompt for me this month. It took me forever to come up with something. But I’m glad I took the time. Pretty happy with the result - what do you think? #inktober #inktober2024 #kidart
