Description
Day 17, and another fairly unimaginative one for the theme 'graceful.' Now, while I have loads of swan photos, none of them really manage 'graceful' - they've all got their beaks in the water, or necks twisted some odd way to reach a particularly interesting leaf or such. So, as usual I turned to the ever wonderful stock gallery on dA and found this reference:Here's the link to the version of Inktober I'll be trying this year, through the wonderful ProjectComment discord server: Artober Starts TOMORROW - Win Prizes!

Ahh, swans. I saw a lot while I was in the UK.
...and I ended up with quite a lot of photos of them too.
Great drawing by the way. All your inktober/Artober pieces have been fantastic!

Aww thanks!
Yeah, if you were boating, I expect you would have seen loads. They can be pretty scary close up though, especially if they've got young ones with them - I tend to stay well away if I can! Can we expect to see some swan based creatures sometime soon then?

I didn't find them too bad, I even fed some young ones. some were quite greedy
The main thing you had to watch out for was your fingers.
I think I have a video of a swan snapping at my fingers (and phone) while I was feeding/filming it.
Hmmm, swan based creatures... err, well I don't think I've got any at the moment but I could probably do one soon...ish.

This one is very pretty. No complimentary swanbutt drawing, though?
