If you don't have a lot of time, draw on post-it notes. It's quick and prevents you from going into too much details.
Additionally, the post-its will look very nice when placed next to each other by the end.

I want to try inktober but recently I feel like giving up on art as a whole i‘ve been drawing everyday since 2016 and improved but recently I can‘t even draw a male head correct anymore which used to be my fav thing to draw and I can‘t get it right anymore :(

I traditionally do pencil/pen and paper drawings so this inktober I am trying to improve of my digital inking skills

[lifeismusicparnadonkers]

My favorite art supplies are wen i am doing inktober for myself are: a fountain pen. I got a realy nice fountin pen that you fill whit inkt from a bottle. Than i love to use a mechanical pen whit coloured pencil. I love to sketch whit it. I can, t live whitout it and they don, t smudge the page wen i draw. Also i love to use a light brown papered sketch book, inkt colours, Black and white inkt and a ereaser. These are the things i can not live whitout wen i do inktober for myself. I love you, re art and i love how you explane what inktober is and what you need for it. Thank you for that and have a lovley day bye 😃👍🏼👋🏼

hehe I´ve been doing the month challenges for a bit more then a year now! I do one almost every month, but I took one month off to prepare for inktober :) I improved A LOT!


I 100% reccomend doing inktober, even if you don´t finish it.


Nice video :D I hope to see more from you soon!

Honestly I feel like people are too worried about this, I just see it as having fun drawing spooky stuff. I love October so much and not a lot of people are going to see my drawings so I cam just keep them for myself (I do post them tho for my friends lol)

i'm by no means a professional artist (or even amateur) but i recently felt the desire to draw something so i decided to do inktober. i'm only posting it on my private account with no subscribers but i feel like it's going to help me start drawing more seriously. it's such a nice idea and i think because i'm free this october i'm going to finish the whole list.

Doing my first inktober this year, I'm not an artist but enjoying it immensely. Feels good to be prompted to draw every day.

Can I just say, I love the unicorn in the background 😀

[phantomsenchantment]

Great Video! I just want to mention a couple of supplies which you didnt mention because i think they´re important: nib pens, fountain pens and ink wash. Looking forward to inktober and to all the amazing work People will create 😁

I really want my Inkober art to be inspired the artwork of Edward Gorey no gray just hatching to get tones It allways has the gothic comic look that I adore and I will give me a chance to step away from digital art and bond with trad. materials.

[ChiakiHatori]

I want to challenge myself but I don't own ink and have no experience with it whatsoever.
So I will use the medium I prefer for my first inktober, digital.
My challenge will be to draw a finished piece every day because I usually just sketch, never finish something or get frustrated after a couple of lines.
Can't wait tho! I would want to improve on inking and start experimenting but I'm saving that for next year and get ready until then + some experience in ^^

My art teacher is making us do ink tober...and I’m in AP art...so it’s rlly stressful. Plus I take forever because imma perfectionist 😅

Thank you for posting this video and for all the information and insight you shared! I'm currently feeling like the new kid on the block. I'm very new to drawing/painting. A few years ago, I started with acrylics. Only recently, I ventured into watercolors, and now I'm finding myself knocking on ink's door after finding Inktober mentioned on Doodlewash's October Drawing Challenge. I know comparing is a no-no, but it's so difficult not to at times. I see ink drawings like the hardcore, cool kids in school lol. I've definitely not got a signature style... if anything, I'd be vintage, pin-up, Americana type of art. I'm going to look into the resources you mentioned and explore my vintage Americana inclination as well. Thank you again, Lucas. I'm looking forward to getting my ink on!

This is my first year trying it. Planning on going old school with a ball point pen at first, and then if I feel up to it, bringing in the brush pen. And I've also got some Inktense pencils I can use if I wanna add color. My main worry is what to do if I get stuck on the prompt and don't know what to draw.

[haileyj]

This makes me feel way better about trying inktober

I was looking forward to doing my first inktober. I'm just getting into drawing, after not having 'picked up a pencil' since high school, 30 years ago. So I'm a noob, and not very good. After seeing what others can do, I am very intimidated now and having second thoughts.
