In today's piece cogs form the center parts of dandelion clocks. ![cogs.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmU9qupoeM58FQxovh27QJ3VMR6T8SfQ2nckURbhVWNByL/cogs.jpg) ![inksplat.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeY8nTTsWGZqStPPj12xmgRaiFWmDXWVJ6aA2egqgNb6c/inksplat.png) >I have decided to get out my ink pens and join in with Inktober, you can find more details about Inktober on the website: https://inktober.com/. ![2018promptlistSML.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfXytq9MhWZ33Er8ihokqzbJytBapcA8bXBwJmvwZNokK/2018promptlistSML.jpg) Source: https://inktober.com/rules/ ![3inkmarks.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfJoNmeauv8rNNuq11AmvJqYJBbnFq78BV5bXRPxVsBTh/3inkmarks.png) ## Creating my drawing The piece was created using black drawing ink, a dip pen, paintbrush and wax. ![October16.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmR5qwLx7UQPaF1cgvLXTnMNoVAsgS6JFkyNZCG1x6J7Vj/October16.jpg) Small metal cogs were used to print the cog shapes, these were then finished by hand using my dip pen and black ink. ![October18.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcZ58pjhJ2G7qwPUYiaPyK2PSHsyNATBNQWpFMofLK1Yv/October18.jpg) The dandelion seeds were added using a dip pen along with outlines on part of the leaves. ![Dandelion ClockG.gif](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVnKojGJMT5Xz8WfLedkuxVVBbTithzLBuD1UjvncN1cB/Dandelion%20ClockG.gif) Then areas I wanted to keep unaltered had wax applied over the top, before applying more ink to the paper. ![Dandelion Clock2G.gif](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSZaAvZCtHpx1jkk8DVffzqCZDu38osw3v9FJSV75Xjzy/Dandelion%20Clock2G.gif) I then washed off any excess ink and allowed the drawing to dry. The final stage was to use a dip pen and drawing ink to draw in finer details and outlines. ![cogsboard.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRWaof9Qa86ACoy3voYUAPzo2sP3hRsAnDbCwvCkopwRw/cogsboard.jpg) ![3inkmarks.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfJoNmeauv8rNNuq11AmvJqYJBbnFq78BV5bXRPxVsBTh/3inkmarks.png) ## 'Dandelion Cogs' ![Dandelion ClocksM.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaNLgGXc5YsdgrjKMYnQccsnBDAaJWnrkxMCNqMKu41PX/Dandelion%20ClocksM.jpg) Ink and wax on paper ![6inkmarks.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTYtQVfbQ2R3gytmahKqq1GzmMQSPFoLz7GeRCJmouZZE/6inkmarks.png) ![pagefooterL.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRsthN9iiNKnzTB5Y9mkH8NGapYTbWWoC8V2a3Fee66Ku/pagefooterL.png) If you want to see some of my previous ink illustrations check out DWELLING, an illustrated crime novel collaboration between myself and fellow Steemian @dougkarr, set in New York’s Lower East Side.
