I considered drawing a drain filled with water, but then I thought about the feeling of being physically or emotionally drained. ![inksplat.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeY8nTTsWGZqStPPj12xmgRaiFWmDXWVJ6aA2egqgNb6c/inksplat.png) ![2018promptlistSML.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfXytq9MhWZ33Er8ihokqzbJytBapcA8bXBwJmvwZNokK/2018promptlistSML.jpg) Source: https://inktober.com/rules/ >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/. ![3inkmarks.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfJoNmeauv8rNNuq11AmvJqYJBbnFq78BV5bXRPxVsBTh/3inkmarks.png) ## Creating the drawing The section that would form the triangular 'drain' was masked off and ink applied, then the mask removed. Using a dip pen and drawing ink I drew in the outline of the figure. ![October29.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmV8RdLcPcqYkwS8JaavkzbVtRpS1vNu1m4vyb3wTThyg9/October29.jpg) I then added the droplets falling down the page, using water and ink to create them. ![October30.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmd9y8Nv8oAAyurMkYHAABAGK7HZYDSo2HU7TczizT8UZX/October30.jpg) ## Drip, drip, drip! ![drainedBRD.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmW4cSf2vnE1Fw9tEXAdvScvvKwY4W9qz9xDWKgSq9PfNg/drainedBRD.jpg) ![3inkmarks.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfJoNmeauv8rNNuq11AmvJqYJBbnFq78BV5bXRPxVsBTh/3inkmarks.png) ## 'Drain' ![drainedM.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfJ1kPxDH2geoQyidYCccxAXJzqwMpwmyKdVPzhvNPC5f/drainedM.jpg) Ink 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.
