Hello friends
Hope you're doing great
Here is my entry for Inktober day 10-Nomadic.
I did a rough sketch of a lad leading a camel.
Nomadic farming, often practiced in arid and semi-arid regions, is a form of pastoralism where herders move with their animals in search of grazing land and water. Camels are central to this lifestyle, particularly in deserts like the Sahara and Arabian Peninsula, due to their remarkable adaptability to harsh environments.
Camels provide nomads with essential resources: milk, meat, wool, and transportation. Their ability to travel long distances without water, resist extreme heat, and graze on sparse vegetation makes them ideal for desert life. Camel milk is particularly prized for its nutrition, being rich in vitamins and minerals. Additionally, camels can carry heavy loads, supporting trade and the transport of goods.
Nomadic herders, such as the Bedouins or Tuareg, depend on camels not just for survival but as symbols of wealth and cultural identity. Camels are integral to sustaining both the livelihood and traditions of nomadic communities.
I did this using colour ballpoint pens on cardboard
