Day 13 - Trapped in a Bubble of Water.
Probably more of a drop than a bubble, but the V.S.G. wasn’t about to split hairs over that. This is about the time during a drawing challenge where ideas only come if you start drawing, I find. So I drew a circle, then this happened. Also, a few thousand tiny hand-drawn dots!

Inktober day 12 - “Paramecium Pants.”
Was originally going to call this “Nib-breaker” as that’s what happened when it caught in the paper on the tail. (conveniently, the pose suited the snagging!) Helpfully indicated by the somewhat pointless arrow (paradox?) just in case the splatter didn’t make it obvious…!
Having wrecked the fine tip of the dip-pen’s nib (once one side bends away they’re pretty much knackered), I thought perhaps I might decorate the pants with an ordinary 1mm tipped pen. As I drew aimlessly, I decided perhaps the pattern looked a bit like paramecium. And this is what happens, when you start drawing with no fixed goal in mind!

Once upon a time two young ladies encountered their Mum’s best friend and discovered that she drew a personal character called The V.S.G. (Very Smaul Gitt).
One day out of the blue, I received a charming interpretation of the V.S.G. as made by the eldest!
A little while later, I sent an illustration back to say thanks.
This resulted in another heartfelt request, with illustrations from both.
This year I finally got around to making it so!
Now to send them… :D
