      I finally decided after listening to the 3 point perspective Kickstarter podcast that I need to build up my base. I got and get a lot of Instagram love every time I post about the mice I created last year. I think this year I am going to continue the mouse theme but do it in #fauxinktober style with @Nyrryl-Cadiz and company. I will stick to the prompts but try to create portfolio pieces with full rendering. I probably won’t be able to do every day with October’s busy schedule but you never know. I already started working on them and can’t wait to share them. I do inktober in my high school drawing class that I teach. They pick between a 5k (a prompt each week) a10k( 2 prompts a week) a half marathon (every other day) or the full marathon. They have to post their work on our class discussions board. The best part is that it’s a good excuse to draw at work! The kids keep me accountable, too.

        This is gonna be my 3rd year doing inktober. Last year I got the opportunity to meet Jake Parker at the NYC inktober event he hosted. It was really fun. This year im doing watercolors and ink. Im playing with different watercolor sets to see how they look and feel (not the expensive artist grade ones though) and doing frog themed inktober. Last year i did gnomes. We’ll see how this year’s turns out!

          will there be a "official" inktober thread where everyone posts theire stuff or is it community driven and one of us has to open one?

            @Molambo thats a great idea! Would a single Inktober thread be good or would it be better if there was a new one each week? One per day seems like it might be a little much.

                Everyone that is planning to participate in Inktober this year is also invited to participate in the Inktober Edition of the Featured Student challenge. Head over to this post to share some of your drawings after Inktober begins.

                  weekly seems to be a good idea.

                    This will be my first year doing Inktober. I am theme-ing the whole thing with the word “Vote” and voting encouragement, cause I think it’s important to vote! I have already completed about 11 inked drawings! I am super excited. I am hastagging it all with #votetober too if anyone else wants to make a voting piece.

                      And I am posting everyday

                      And I am doing them all traditionally with Copic multiliners and markers. A little brush pen too.

                        @AustinShurtliff @Molambo i would love a place to post Inktober pieces! A thread per week seems good 🙂

                          Inktober 2020 Little Witches JudyElizabethWilson 72 00 version2.jpg
                          Hey guys!!! I am doing Inktober this year. My theme is Little Witches in their cute and creepy world. I want to add some new Halloween art to my portfolio. I have drawn some very rough sketches and will do most of the picture making in October alongside making a picture book dummy. I will post every other day so will create 16 ink pictures in total. Really looking forward to see what awesome art illustrators create this year!!!

                              I am going to follow the prompt list ans plan to complete it this year.
                              I have a style of illustration that I don't do much lately that I would like to get back too so I plan to do that but I think I want to do the official prompts and link each image together somehow in a kind of ethereal dream like way.
                              There may be some fairies involved and I might do all of them on one surface rather than individual surfaces but I would post each section for each day.
                              I think I will try to draw this out ahead of time so I can ink a section at a time.
                              Ohhh better get drawing then.

                              Looking forward to it.
