Wild Horses ~ #InkTober 2nd day

6x12 Tombow black brush pen and India ink on Strathmore 140 lb paper done today; sketch was with the brush pen.  I added water to the pen lines then put drops of India ink by Higgins into the wet areas, blending with #8 round brush.  It is for the second day of #InkTober, a worldwide challenge to all artists to use ink in some form (there are many different kinds) and create a painting or sketch each day of the month of October.  Tomorrow I may post one in alcohol inks.
