Hi πŸ‘‹, I’ve decided to participate in Inktober to practise my inking skills – especially working with dip pens, which is something new for me. In the past, I’d only used ink pens like Sakura Mignon. Some of my favorite pictures (not perfect, but I feel that I’ve learned something doing them): ![ink23](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/1X/09942d602df1fed6e826bb4fb073b37704217bbc.jpeg) ![ink13](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/1X/177bf0eee8a1b7d89a79385af848c4263ec7df50.jpeg) ![ink11](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/1X/1b532e45c63adc35e284250f0c3833dd5db3b89a.jpeg) ![ink10](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/1X/6aadd2f93d662bf7bae84274f79f745d802de4ec.jpeg) ![ink08](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/1X/b84f850ec34fb242b6f4889b5cbe5a9e0291660e.jpeg) ![ink04](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/1X/20eccda2265b317086a930e9fdd839d59e447b25.jpeg) Nice to meet all of you!
