And that completes the Inktober 2017 challenge! It was a lot of fun, a lot of learning & some good creativity flowing!

Thank you everyone for your feedback !

Hi, everyone! I've been watching videos for a few months and love them! I'm going to finally be brave and post some very early sketches for a picture book project. I'm working with an editor on the manuscript portion and am torn about illustrating it myself.

The story is about Ivy, who is a veterinarian to magical creatures, and her pet pegasus Eddy.

I'm trying to determine which hairstyle I like best for Ivy.
Again, thanks!

Thanks guys 🙂

The funny thing is, both those things you mentioned @Joy-Heyer are because of how I dropped the sketches in--the "door jam" you mentioned was actually the edge of the panel in my sketch, but I decided to move it over for a bit more space, but my sketch didn't have that part completed. And I originally had the thought bubble filling the bottom of the second panel, but realized it worked better in the next panel when I was laying out the text, thus the floating head. Thats a good point about the shoulder strap and the hair though, I will have to keep my eye on that as I ink the final.

These are fantastic!

Wow, Tess! This is the first time I've looked at all your drawings for Inktobef. Really cool story and I am also amazed that you could keep with the list! So talented!

And that is it for my Inktober drawings! I had a lot of fun doing this and some days were pretty challenging. It was nice to go back to Paper drawings for a while and also draw some things out of my norm. This also makes me wish I had more funds to invest into different types of pens. I mostly have all the same kind just different sizes, plus a water color gray and a white pen. But some of what I seen from other people with more utility in their pen set amazes me and makes me want to keep practicing!

@jon-anderson I like that attitude! But also that’s a grand idea,one I may also use next year. Over all I feel like I did grow as an artist, I became more decisive with my pen andbrush strokes. So even if I’m not thrilled with a few of these I canat least take that with me. Next year I may also bring computed ink in, or use brushes and washes. Time will tell. Thanks so much for following my progress and chiming in here.

Wow, I like the drawing, but I like the idea even more. A zoom in on an elephant to illustrate "Gigantic" - cool.

Here's my HallowInk Submission. Still working on using the Wacom tablet for drawing... its an adjustment for sure.

And Day 31....

I'm really pleased with what I was able to do this month. I created art every single day, I became a lot more comfortable with dip pens and various nibs, I did my first ever ink washes and I illustrated characters that up until now were just in my head. I'm going to keep on working in ink moving forward. I intend for it to be my primary medium.

Great job to everyone who took part in Inktober this year!

Thanks to Jake Parker for creating Inktober! I enjoyed my first time to draw in ink for 31 days. Here is a compilation of my work. Until we meet again, draw on!

Hi,

This is digital version of my Halloween drawing. I was learning to paint like Will Terry, after watching 'Choosing Colors for Storytelling'... it's not as easy as it looks, when you watch a video tho 😉

@jbrannan hey, thanks for input 🙂 however i went quite far now and would prefer to make smaller changes, if possible 😉
so if what i done below doesn't work (still a draft), perhaps i could put a sign on the right bottom, which will be pointing left and saying 'cat scare point' or smith like that. What do you think?

Thanks to you all for the warm words! I hope to keep delivering. And as for that, yesterday thing is up 😃
