Arty post - Drawtober & other things

[amberdreams]

It's been a while since I posted anything arty that isn't fanart, but I've recently started a new art class, similar to my old sketchbooking one, where the challenge is to try lots of different things and push yourself out of your comfort zone.

The theme of the first two weeks has been caricature, and after sticking to pencil last week, this week it was all about going straight in with the indian ink, and using bamboo pens and sticks to make sure I wasn't too precious. Wanda Gág with her giant palette was the first one I did today, and I really liked it!

Having felt this was successful it rather paralysed me and it took me about 15 minutes to start on anything else, and then I just filled the opposite page with a mixture of caricature and just loose ink. It was fun while I was doing it but doesn't look anything special.

Meanwhile my lovely little Drawesome community is doing Drawtober with a list of our own prompts. I've done Day 1 - Pie. It's not a great photo, but scanning would be worse since it goes across two pages of the sketchbook.
Guess what it's titled... yep! Pie(s) in the sky...
