Hello everyone!
Today, I want to share with you my new artwork for InkTober 2021 drawing challenge day 14 with the theme "Tick".
I had a few of options of tick to draw ranging from an insect, a bug called tick and the Tick Tack of time.
I ended up choosing this one - a tiny woodland arachnid of the suborder Ixodida.
It is quite a blood sucking bug with 8 legs. They feed mostly on domestic pets by sucking their bloods and can cause allergic reactions. They can also feast on human blood when they locate a desired spot.
Just like every other living animal, these creatures do suffer from a life time injury. Sometimes, they are being unnoticed. Take a look at one of its legs. Some parts have gone off probably being taken away by a predator who tried to feat on it. It fought its way and excaped. However, those parts can't grow back again.
The drawing was done with a blue ballpoint pen on a cardboard paper using cross hatching technique. My steps are below:
