Rise Inktober Day 13 Blue Sketches

Sketching at my desk in the BookFactory sketchbook with  a Pilot Ball Point pen for Inktober Day 13.

Day 13 Rise

The hot air balloons and the sun rise at the same time at the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque in October.  Such fun to see.

I posted in 2009 if you care to have a look.

Then I did a Scavenger Hunt from Life 87 sketch in the same book with the same pen but added color with the Piochoo dual tip pens, using the fine point side so the ink wouldn't bleed through the paper.

Number 6, blue - the scissors on my desk.

Enjoying this weather with the doors open at least in the morning.  Supposed to get to 90º F this afternoon.  Fall in central Texas!

I enjoyed seeing the video of the balloon festival. It is something I always wanted to see in person.

Hi, not-so-anonymous Joanna, thanks. We had such fun at the Balloon Fiestas in the past.

Joan, thanks. It is amazing. We went several times. So many folks go now you have to start loading on the busses about 4 am and wear coats, gloves and try to stay warm. The balloons start up at daylight for a few hours. Amazing to be right on the ground with them with balloons all around you. Then they have the moonglows at night. So much fun and activity.
