INKTOBER Pre show!!!
-
@chrisaakins amazing!
-
@chrisaakins that's a hard one, the black and white still shows all the form and is super cute, but if I had to pick I think I like the color best! Not to take away from the black and white tho, it's great, hard choice!!!!!
-
@Nyrryl-Cadiz Nice! So will you be doing it as one whole piece as you go?
-
@Laurasketches these are great! I think a mythos inktober is a fantastic idea. It's always better when your own kids get to join in on the fun, too.
-
Excited for Inkotber this year! I've been in a bit of a slump so hopefully, this will help me push through, and come out a stronger artist.
I'm going to try and post my journey through Inktober in the forums. I'm a bit nervous though because I have not shared my work on here before.
-
@Laurasketches They look great. I never follow the prompts.
-
@Passion-Hart some people do pencil sketches before October and then they're all ready for ink.
-
Here are my three characters. Now to decide how I want to ink them. Ballpoint? Brushpen? Toned paper? Alcohol markers? Too many choices!!!
Here is Reb.
Here is Inky.
And here is Tobie or Toby. Haven't decided how to spell it. -
@chrisaakins The treatment of Reb is my favorite, but like all three! These mice are a lot cuter than the ones who invaded our house last year
Tobie sticks with me more than Toby (in a good way
) -
@Judy-Elizabeth-Wilson great minds think alike!
I've also designed Halloween characters (it's October so it's gotta be Halloween themed!
) but they're acting out a story using the given prompts ...I was ill over the weekend and being stuck in bed meant I had nothing else to do than draw. So I drew all 31 sketches (I've chosen a small square sketchbook to limit ink space!) I'm now in the process of remembering how to use ink! Trying to come up with ways to add texture and shading in time for October...it's difficult! 
I love you're little characters they would make fantastic stickers for children! 
-
@chrisaakins I like the way you inked Reb the best too, but they're all wonderful. Super cute.
-
The last two years I did themes with the prompts. 2017 I did pumpkin people, 2018 I did zombie people, and this year I am going to do creatures.
-
More practice. I think I am going to go with this style,a mix of brush pen, micron, and gel pen.

@chrisaakins
️Those eyes! -
@chrisaakins Wonderful! I agree with @burvantill -- the eyes really make these drawings.
