#Inktober, Day 12: Welcome to the world, Blueberry! <3

#Inktober, Day 11: This is a bit of a cheat. I did the pencil sketch yesterday while my husband and I were having lunch at this wonderful little shop in the Green Lake neighborhood of Seattle called, “The Butcher and the Baker”. I did the inks today so I’m counting it!
Anyway, this place was SO delicious. You can tell there was a lot of care in their dishes and their meats. Highly recommended!

#Inktober, Day 10 (yesterday): My husband and I went to the Woodland Park Zoo yesterday, and I thought it’d be a great chance to get some animal sketching in. My favorite part was hearing all the conversations going on while I drew:
– Both kids and adults were shocked by the tapier’s look and size. Popular kid guesses: “Cow!” “Panda bear!” “Bear?” “Warthog?”
– Another conversation, in one of the many monkey exhibits:
Boy: That monkey’s eating broccoli! At least, he eats his vegetables. He likes broccoli, but I don’t. How can he be my brother?
Mom: I wish you would stop saying that. He’s not your brother.
Boy: But didn’t we come from monkeys?

#Inktober, Day 6: My husband and I were out for breakfast in Seattle when I saw this adorable kid, who was carrying a small bin of Pokemon cards, come into the cafe with his mom. I loved how the two genuinely enjoyed each other’s company. The mother listened so intently to what her son had to say.
It reminded me of how my mom listened to every. single. thing I told her. I’m sure she didn’t know what I was always talking about (M:TG? FFVII? Sailor Moon?), but I appreciated her effort.
Thanks for always listening, Mom!
