Made Parkin tonight. Will let it rest before eating it, I have to resist eating it before it is ready

Trying out some watercolour pens and I got too ambitious trying to build a landscape (I'd not really practiced with them). I simplified for my second attempt #zip #inktober #inktober2026

Didn't do great on today's prompt #fracture #inktober #inktober2026 Definitely one to revisit when I have more skills, should have probably offset the impact point away from the pupil of the eye

Today's prompt is #lounge #inktober #inktober2026

Today's prompt is #flightless #inktober #inktober2026 Drawing the human form is really hard, Icarus isn't the best but thought I would share anyway

My second thought for #gangly was how gangly young foals tend to look. The first attempt was too stiff and rigid, but the second came out better #inktober #inktober2026

My first thought for #gangly was to draw a gangly guy and one person immediately came to mind #inktober #inktober2026

Didn't have much time to spend on this one #hooray #inktober #inktober2026

I didn't just want to be as literal as I have been sometimes with #lady for #inktober #inktober2026

Today's prompt is #toss #inktober #inktober2026 Hands are really tough and I need more practice, the fingers need to curl in more, and I need to define the undulations of the palm better

Today's theme is #rescue for #inktober #inktober2026 The first thing that came to my mind was seeing that a statue had been made of the line of people rescuing a dog in Kazakhstan in 2016. I haven't done it justice yet

Another attempt at #mystical for #inktober #inktober2026 It's how mail delivery really happens

This wasn't my best attempt, going to have to try something else for #mystical #inktober #inktober2026 I knew it wasn't working but decided to "finish" it

A final attempt at #ram #inktober #inktober2026

Another attempt at #ram for #inktober #inktober2026

A couple of initial attempts at #ram for #inktober #inktober2026 I messed up the legs on the first one

I had this idea and couldn't let it go until I did this. #stinky #inktober #inktober2026

First very quick attempt at #stinky for #inktober #inktober2026 I was just doodling potential ideas and this looked too good not to share and I've resisted the temptation to "fine tune" or try to make a larger version

Today wasn't a good day... Very little inspiration and no attempt at a face was working but I had to do something. #slap #inktober #inktober2026

Today's prompt is #cactus for #inktober #inktober2026 Could be better, I need to work on the hills in the distance and the light and shade on the cactus

My second attempt at #miniature for #inktober #inktober2026

My first, maybe only, attempt at today's #inktober prompt #miniature Hands are hard

Trying to do #inktober again, today's prompt is Apple #inktober2026 - I still have a lot to learn about shading curves surfaces

First Dolly, now Tim Curry... This week is taking a heavy toll

Yesterday I made lasagna (freshly made ragu, parmesan bechamel, and some homemade pasta) for a friend. Not my best but it still tasted good

Does anyone happen to have any leads on any Java Software Engineering roles? 🙏 My partner lost his job, and has fallen into a very dark mental health spiral. It's a very, very bleak and tough time at home right now. Getting him back to work could literally be a lifesaver.

I know Fiona Bruce just said "surrounded by all the gilt" when looking at the pics of Starmer and the King but I immediately parsed it as "surrounded by all the guilt"
