I found out about Inktober last October and I had just finished a challenge I gave myself to draw everyday in September. This year I'm doing Drawlloween and Inktober. Both have prompts for each day but I'm using Inktober as an excuse to get better at drawing my characters doing the things in the prompts and then I will use inked pages for reference for future issues of my comic book. I'm so ready and so excited!

Love the jagged plating you drew on the tortoise's legs.

[ETxARTSx]

Nice words of encouragement, I was kinda second guessing about participating in Inktober

One of the challenges I like about Inktober are the Visual prompts that are given. As an Illustrator, I believe it's more challenging to develop an IDEA first, then INK and RENDER. I've come under criticism that my INKING wasn't up to par, but I DON"T CARE!! I can ink with the best of them, my main purpose during INKTOBER is to develop IDEAS as well a CRAFT.

I'm new to the art community and I'm definitely gonna do inktober as my first drawing challenge

[RedGallardo]

Arrrgh! So envy of your skills! It seems impossible to me to work with ink, it doesn't listen. And I was always amazed by how some people make such bold shadows. I mean, make them look SO well. Barely any half-tones needed. So defined, so well knowing what they are doing. How?!

[Meldoodles]

Oh god I am in With your art !!! Soooo good !

[YvetteGustafsson]

Nice! And a really good presentation of Inktober :)

G'morning! *waves*

This is my first year doing Inktober - theming it around one of my stories that I have yet to work on. End goal: hopefully some illustrated pieces worthy of becoming prints! I've already got one great idea . . . now I just need to make some more.
Biggest challenge is falling behind - missed a day and now I gotta catch up!

[gekopoo]

i'm starting to learn how to ink and use ink to add shadows, any tips?

[PrivatesPlay]

I am thanking #inktober for introducing you to me!

[c.chonii]

[ShibeRyan]

My kinds of drawing doesn't really go well with Inktober :(

[bowbow]
