You have made it to the final stretch of inktobernaturejournal! This month-long challenge is almost over! Right now, I will go over the last week of prompts for #inktobernaturejournal.<\/p>\n

Day 23: Animal Eyes<\/h6>\n

\"natureEyes are the window into the soul. Are you afraid to draw them? If so, then this is a perfect opportunity to practice. There is a lot that we can learn from looking at different animal eyes.<\/p>\n

Day 24: Abiotic Nature<\/h6>\n
\"a
Here is a page where I used gray ink and watercolor to nature journal an abiotic phenomena at the beach.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you scan the Nature Journal Club Facebook Page<\/a> you will see that most of the subject matter on people’s pages is plant or animals. However, many aspects of nature are not living creatures. In fact most of nature is “abiotic” meaning it is not life-based. Atoms, physics, most rocks, water, erosion, weather, the movement of the sun, the formation of crystals etc are all examples of abiotic nature. We need to practice including these more often. The way steam swirls off your coffee is abiotic nature you could be nature journaling!<\/p>\n

Day 25: Metamorphosis<\/h6>\n

This prompt gives you room for some creative exploration. How do you want to interpret this prompt?<\/p>\n

Day 26: Birds in Flight<\/h6>\n

Did you learn how to draw a flying bird when you were a kid? Usually birds<\/p>\n

Here you can see some quick captures of birds in flight I did while drawing a landscape. I always try to draw birds I see in flight, especially the ones in weird positions that seem hard to draw.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

don’t make it that easy. However, it is still worth practicing trying to draw them. Especially when they are in unusual angles causing foreshortening. It is often fun to have a side column of these quick bird sketches on your page while you are working on something more stationary like a landscapito or plant.<\/p>\n

Day 27: Nature Journal a Pet<\/h6>\n

Have you ever nature journaled a pet? Similar to abiotic nature, “domesticated” nature rarely gets nature journaled. I wonder why? There are many benefits to nature journaling your pets. So many that I have made several videos about it with top tips.
