Inktober 2018 #23 – Erle

Erle is Kinsey's husband. In writing the script his character has been developed beyond his role in the short story. I like the exploration of their relationship. And that's it for Inktober!

Clearing through my files today I found this sketch I did in Vancouver. It was a nice warm day so I went to the beach to doodle and draw. Today Edinburgh is cold and rainy and feels more like February than June, so I coloured my old sketch to remind me of warmer days...
