Inktober 2021: #24 Extinct

Extinct. A few of you found this prompt exciting and sent your work in a well before the deadline! It is a prompt that inspires many different ways of expression.

I chose to illustrate one of the most famous cases of man-made extinction, The Dodo.

We haven't seen GW post for Inktober before, but this prompt inspired her to create a drawing that works on two levels. As she says it illustrates: 'A current desire to make politicians extinct and the vulnerability of koalas under their power'. With rising seawater flooding Canberra's Parliament House to illustrate climate change and the stranding of the last koala it is a strong work and statement.

It is her first time drawing in ink and done using a blue Artline 200 fine liner 0.4.

KB's drawing for this theme is a rather friendly looking portrait of a Sauropoda dinosaur. As KB says, 'He was fun to draw' and he has an engaging way of looking back at us.

OLE has taken a different route and created a Digital Ink drawing showing a fearsome Extinction Warrior. You really don't want to mess around with this guy!

And to end on a lighter note, we have this submission from EM illustrating a different type of Leak.

Keep these drawings flowing in folks! It's the weekend, so surely you can find an hour or two to draw one of the prompts from 22 - 31? I am sure one of them will inspire you!
