Inktober is an annual worldwide event for enthusiasts who love to draw in ink. Draw is just a way of saying it. Creating art would be abetter way to put it.
This is the third year of my participation in it and I am already looking forward to the next year!
You can know more about Inktober, it HERE.
I drew the pictures below. I have uploaded them in random order and not chronologically. I first give the prompt for each one of them and then explain what prompted me to draw the particular picture. In other words. my interpretation of the prompt.
Swollen: Swollen head, swollen ego. 
Bottle. What better bottle than a bottle of Ink, for inktober?
Muddy. Rice seedlings have to be transplanted into paddies. It is not only backbreaking work but also your hands and legs are muddy. Paying tribute to the labour which puts rice in our plates. 
Expensive: The horn of the Rhino is expensive. It proves so expensive that rhinos pay with their lives.
Roasted: A very common roadside scene in India. Roasted peanuts. This is the equipment used to roast them, An iron pan, sand in which the nuts are roasted, and a kerosene stove with a pump on
Spell: Abbé Faria casting a hypnotic spell on a patient (not in picture). Based on a statue of him in Panaji, Goa, India. When I first saw it in 1980, it cast a spell on me - of fascination that such a stature exists.
Chicken: Self explanatory.
Drooling: The Mask (Movie) drooling at a dancer.
Exhasuted: A different take on an old advertisement for Heineken beer, by David Ogilvy. It showed an empty bottle and a full glass. Here the beer is exhausted.
Star: Star Scientist - pun intended. His words, "we are all start dust"fascinates me.
Precious: Self explanatory?
Flowing:
Dolphin:
Guarded: Chandamama was a children's magazine with many stories. In many stories, there would be a treasure hidden somewhere but is guarded by a fearsome snake - invariably a cobra. This is a flash back to those days.
Clock: Shortage of time (!!) after a long day lead me to this simple interpretation of the prompt.
.
Angular.
Scorched: The state of things to come for the world?
Stretch
Gift: A gift of this perfume would be a gift of Gift - because, in German language Gift means poison.
Double: I had seen a movie long ago (1970) of a Japanese master paint with two brushes in his fingers. So stuck to 00 brushes on to a separator to paint Gemini. 
Slice: A backhand slice in Tennis - a game I love, never having held a racket in my hand!
