Inktober | day eight

I have been getting bored of the prompts, as they all have a travel/exploration theme. When I saw that today’s prompt was “hike”, I immediate knew that I would draw something related to football, simply to escape the pull to draw yet another person exploring a landscape.

Needless to say, I wasn’t thrilled with the subject (in my mind, sports are for playing, not drawing), but I think I was able to find an approach that kept me interested. I originally hated the drawing, but I did all of the texture and shading directly in ink. I really enjoy working with brush and ink; this drawing was a mixture of that and ink pen.
