Here's my fourth drawing for Inktober 2021, this one following the prompt "knot".

Originally, I set out to just do a drawing of some string or rope tied in a knot, but I started looking at reference images and nothing was really jumping out at me. The idea felt kind of generic.

Then I started thinking about doing a drawing where a worm, or some other cartoon character had their whole body tied in a knot. Then I started thinking about those old Looney Tunes cartoons, where Bugs Bunny (or was it Daffy Duck?) would tie Elmer Fudd's shotgun barrel into a knot.

I don't know how I ended up with this monkey. He looks a little dopey, but I like him.
