Apes with Afros

Day 9 of the Chinese-style painting challenge for November, the challenge annually hosted by OASlife (Oriental Art Supply) on Facebook. I struggled with this one as the soft shikishi can't take much moisture, so with the diluted ink in my brush the ink just blossomed, and that's one thing that Chinese ink does oh so very well! Still, I'm quite satisfied with how I captured the faces; they are the one saving grace for this blobby painting.
