Greetings, everyone! It is my greatest pleasure again to share to you the challenge I entered last year. Remember Inktober? I had a link last year about it here in [here](https://steemit.com/art/@zareceerine/an-entry-for-day-6-of-inktober-the-sword). So, I joined the challenge for this year’s Inktober, and the theme written in the prompt list for Day 1 is “Poisonous”. *Well, we know that the prompt list is not strictly supposed to be theme for the challenge of every day, but it can be a guide.* Therefore, I decided to draw a bottle of poison as some of the liquid contents had spilled. I would like to share it here in Steemit, the step-by-step process of how I did it. ## 1. Outline First, I drew and outline of the drawing I plan to achieve. !https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPqyq2TR9FBQdZWFZHTy64uuAMAnCb2Dc2kvxDNyiqkXJ/D1.JPG Now, in a different sheet, I drew a bottle with the dripping liquid on the bottle and on the almost peeled off label.

Next, I drew the spilled liquid poison on the floor and the lid that fell on the spilled liquid.

## 2. Shading For the next part, I shaded the bones on the label that almost peeled off, followed by the dripping liquid.

Now, I first used a dark purple pen to shade the dripping liquid, and by a dark blue pen only for the edges of the dripping ink to further enhance the color on the sides.

In the next picture, I gave details on the lines of the picture so it would give emphasis. *(I learned that to achieve this, you should use a thicker point of pen.)* The shading is continued as well.

## 3. Finishing Touches I left a small space of dripped liquid poison on the floor as seen on the white portion at the leftmost part of the spilled liquid of this photo and a few more lines as the final finishing touches for the drawing. https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPsH9EMwEWL8SYiSantcix8twGQeAZRaR3qYdmA8KmNDT/D12.JPG Before the final photo, these are the pens that I have used from top to bottom: a purple gel pen, a blue retractable pen, and a black Pilot G-Tec-C4 of 0.3 point pen contained as a refill in a blue G-Tec-C4 case. :) https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRwR8mTYY5u7oX78bB8tABXafdfnSgXY5VCM9XXHv19CR/D13.JPG And now, the final photo is the one that I have posted in the group as my entry for the theme “Poisonous”. https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbGuNnChNcGXuAtDZGuMmzreV6pmXy1Nu5rK4nkaDwWEn/D14.JPG If you also wish to take part in the Inktober 2018 Challenge, grab your inking materials and paper, draw a work of art for each day of October using ink (pens can be used ^_^), and post them online. You can choose whatever form of online site as social networking sites also count (i.e. Facebook, Instagram, etc.). **This post is open for feedback and thank you for dropping this post! :)**
