It's HERE. Inktober, the monthly 'event' that dominates group chats, art classes, art sites, and sketchbooks around the globe. During Inktober, artists choose to create an ink sketch or finished drawing every day, every other day, or one each week.
Inktober is my helpmeet to push me to make time to create something every day, no matter how sketchy or unfinished.
I've pledged to my own group of supportive artists that for half the days I'll follow the official prompts and the other half? I'll just do my own thing. ;)
Inktober #1. I attended the semi-annual Latter-day Saint general conference last weekend, and during one of the two-hour sessions, I wrote my notes on top of my timeline, chibi girl style. Only after did I realize each of the chibis had props to define that time in my life- except the last one. :`)
Inktober #2. After the inked one, I created a more finished pencil version of this street-wise urchin girl.
Inktober #3. I wanted to draw someone going to war- baseball angst was the closest I could get. This manga girl is ready to kick butt. The second one is the perfected inked piece, but the first is my favorite. It has the flavor written into the messy lines themselves. I also used it afterward as my scrap page for ink testing and scribbles.
Inktober #4. This counts because the upper portion took 30 MINUTES. That chain link fence was killer.
I will enlarge and ink this page layout for a Blick competition this month.
