My 21st drawing for Inktober

The Inktober prompt suggestion for the 21st is Drain. I considered drawing a drain filled with water, but then I thought about the feeling of being physically or emotionally drained.

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/.

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.

I then added the droplets falling down the page, using water and ink to create them.

Drip, drip, drip!

It is a very representative picture of the States of emotional that we can get to have sometimes when things do not come out as we want or because we woke up feeling like this! It's an excellent drawing

Or at the end of the day when we have used up all our energy.

WOW, this is fantastic!
But I’m a little worried about that guy.

He's just melted - he'll be fine, it's just a phase transition.

everybody needs to take number 2 after drinking XD
no but really I love it!

I have never participated in Inktober myself, but I admire those that too. You are one of them, cool work!

Thank you - so far I have managed to do all 21 drawings. I don't normally do challenges so I'm quite pleased with my commitment on Inktober... just 10 more to go!

Oh I can only imagine how hard it is. I could create something every day, but when I have to stick to themes, that is really really tough

Ditto to that.

very very creative! congrats dear

A great conceptual piece, rather than just going for the obvious. I love that you used real water droplets as the 'model' for it, it really gives it such life.

I think we have all felt this sort of 'drain' before :)

Most days around 4pm

That's an incredible drawing @opheliafu, I'm pleased to see what you do!
I think it's very representative, maybe that's how my life is at this moment.
little by little it dissolves without being able to do anything!
