The Inktober is a drawing challenge created by Jake Parker, in which the whole month of October, you must draw a drawing in ink or other material every day. October has 31 days, so there will be a total of 31 drawings. A word is assigned each day of the month, which will serve as inspiration for each drawing, i.e., if today's word is scurry, that will be the word of inspiration for the drawing. It is an excellent challenge, it helps to loosen the hand and to speed up the strokes in terms of drawing or to have better imagination or creation for ideas. I did this challenge two years ago and at that time, it helped me a lot to improve my drawing all that month, so I wanted to participate again this year.

For this second word, which is "scurry ", I thought of making a character that was running away or sneaking away from someone, as well as trying to save his life or simply finding a way to escape from this being that is chasing him.

Really, the ideas for this Inktober are coming very easy to me.

The idea came very easily to my mind, so I took my sketchbook and started to do the idea. Although I don't usually draw much full or half body, this idea required it and to tell the truth, it came out very well anatomically, which I loved.

I finished the sketch very quickly, so the next thing I did was to start the painting work. Little by little I worked on the drawing, giving it life in each layer of paint. I start working from the lightest to the darkest, so I have a better handling of the lights and shadows in the drawing.

Finally I leave to work the last touches, like giving more strength to the shadows and make the linear in areas that require it and occasionally use some details in white, to make small flashes of light and ready, that would be all.
