Yup. I already started laying out but I know I won't be able to make it by the end of October. It is more like and "Inkautumn" for me

I'm still struggling with inking lol, I have sketches done for 10 prompts, not sure how they will look inked and I'm expirimenting anyhow so I may join for some! I might end up doing a bit of both real and fake inktobers lol!!! Cool idea to have it;s own hashtag!

TessaW

Oh man it's tempting! I like the tag #fauxinktober. I get a little irritated when people use the #inktober tag and aren't doing ink at all. #fauxinktober seems appropriate though for those who aren't into ink but want to join in on the party. Love it!

Put me down as a "maybe"! I want to join in on the rebellion but need to clear out some other art commitments first.

I think that sounds great, love your #fauxinktober idea. I love inking but it's more of a hobby because I don't use it in my professional work, so I've been thinking about doing something similar. I'm think mine's going to be a #gouachetober.

Kristin Wauson

I will definitely keep this in mind! Still deciding what Im going to do.

On the topic of #fauxinktober and well this months contest, as in I want to draw characters better, are their any online references you have found helpful to aid in drawing them. I am currently taking posing characters, the bean shape etc... and there are two other character classes on svs but I don’t want to overwhelm myself trying to tackle and improve on them.

Thanks

@Nyrryl-Cadiz I know what You mean, inking isn't my style either and doesn't fit my portfolio, mabye I will try doing inking for inktober or doing my style with inktober promts...will think about it next week.

Nyrryl Cadiz

@MichaelaH whatever style you choose, I know you’ll do great pieces for Inktober.

Nyrryl Cadiz

@nasvikdraws i’m so excited for what you’ll do. Will you be continuing the Adventures of Dad-dad?

Nyrryl Cadiz

@Coley that’s alright. Do what you see fit. I’d love to see what you’ll make for inktober.

Nyrryl Cadiz

@TessaW I’m really happy you like #fauxInktober. I really hope you could join. It’d be nice to have a small group going here in the forums.

Nyrryl Cadiz

@Natalie-Lundeen-0 hi! #gouachetober sounds great too!

MOO

I wouldn't really call what I do inking but it does involve ink. Mainly I'm outlining things in ink but nothing special about it. And, I never follow the prompts at all I do monsters usually with ink and watercolor. This year I will make monster coloring pages from kids descriptions. So far I just have 4 so, I may just work on inking for my other book project so I can get that started. I look forward to seeing the fauxinktober creations!

Nyrryl Cadiz

@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen thanks! I’ll look forward to see your work too.

Nyrryl Cadiz

Hi guys! What are your thoughts in making sketches ahead of time for Inktober (#fauxInktober)? Your comments are highly appreciated.

Heather Boyd

@Nyrryl-Cadiz

I see the benefit, I just don’t have the time. I want to make it simple and fun and I think I’d over do it with prep sketches. I will also want to do the svs contest for October so yeah.

Nyrryl Cadiz

@Heather-Boyd Lol! I definitely see your point tho. Thanks for the input.

nasvikdraws

@Nyrryl-Cadiz sort of

@Nyrryl-Cadiz I think it is super smart to do that, especially if you are planning to do one finished piece each day. I am not thinking a very finished sketches, but maybe just write down ideas in thumbnail format, so you do not have to start from scratch everyday.

TessaW

@Nyrryl-Cadiz! If I join, I'm thinking of using the prompts and pairing them with my collection of personal reference photos. I'd take the prompt + one reference photo and paint something based on the two. I take reference photos from time to time while on outings, but I never use them- so I thought this would be a good opportunity to finally put them to use. It would also save some time, because I wouldn't have to sketch out ideas as much.
