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:

I thought it was a spider, I'm terrified of it. LOL. But I saw that it is a tick. I look super like all your drawings.
Haha, well they are related to spiders! They have 8 legs like spiders and they both are classified under arachnids.😊
Oh no, these guys are my arch nemesis, the world would be better without them lol.
Haha, yeah, just like bedbugs!
Yeah those are second worst but at least they don't carry lyme's disease.
But when they come in contact with one's bed, they born and spread like crazy!
I know I brought some back from staying in a hotel once and I had to put diatomaceous earth all around the corners of the bedroom and around the edge of the bed after drying the sheets. It did the trick once they get a tiny bit of diatomaceous earth on them they dehydrate and die. The only other way to get rid of them is to heat the whole bedroom with heaters up over a 100 degrees but you only do that if you have a major infestation.
Hmm, glad they were finally gone.
Those guys are unwelcome guest.
Nice artwork bro
Thank you.
Yes sure they are found in the body of some dogs but I don't know how they do get to the skin of dogs maybe through cool ground
When a dog gets in contact with another one maybe while playing or sleeping, they can move to another dog.
Oh now I get
