Inktober 2020



In 2020 I chose to follow the drawing prompts suggested by Inktober.com, instead of just picking my own subjects like I did in 2019. This makes it a bit more challenging. The prompts are listed here:   

                      

Beginning with day 5, I decided to combine my enjoyment of drawing with my passion for protecting the environment and saving the planet for the sake of my grandkids and all future generations. So each drawing, for days 5-31, is accompanied by a climate action message. Drawings were posted on twitter with the hashtags #Inktober and #Inktober2020.
