Featured Student Special Edition: Inktober

[Heather Boyd]

@AustinShurtliff

For those who didn’t use ink whether traditional or digital can’t apply then? I kept the prompts though.

[demotlj]

These don’t follow the prompts but are some I did trying out more intensive cross hatching for this Inktober. They are both done digitally in Procreate.

@burvantill Woah! Is that the reflection of the red balloon in the window of the house? I really love these.

[Coley]

@xin-li wow, I'm in awe of these! amazing!

[ArtofAleksey]

All of these are so great

[ArtofAleksey]

(I changed from bait to dragon) I had a really hard time choosing.. but here are 2 out of all of my favorites. I did gnomes for my every inktober prompt this year. Next year I might do orcs.
Prompt: Enchanted, done using brushpens and a hunt102 pen

Prompt: Dragon done using a hunt 102 pen nib.

@xin-li You have to finish and then let it go. Just keep doing that next piece. I think it is a fatal flaw of artists that they are never happy with their work. We will always have room for improvement. If someone else likes it then I call it a win.

[burvantill]

@KathrynAdebayo . Yes! You win!

oops, I was trying to reply here and ended up starting a new thread. I'm new here and it's my first time participating a forum and I have no idea how these buttons work.....

Here are my submissions:

@burvantill thank you for the encouragement and wise words. I think you are so right. Perfectionism sometimes really made me unproductive in the past. I have to overcome this and keep moving forward.

I was not sure which one is the best so I had my school's media center pick and these were the two that she said told the best story:

I decided that the one below is a better fit for children's illustrations. AHHH!!! I am never sure about which is the best. Oh well...

Here's my two submissions from my little engineers series! Ring and Freeze.

@demotlj those came out beautiful! Good work.

[demotlj]

@theprairiefox Thanks so much. I've really enjoyed working on inking this month.

[APHOTICMOTH]

2nd year participating. Actually put in some effort this time around. Found my love of inking again with all of these.

[Jeremy Ross]

Lots of great submissions!

I’ll submit my Day 25: “Tasty” (Traditional Ink)

Day 9: Swing (digital)

[K.Flagg]

@CLCanadyArts I'm so happy you submitted the one with cat fishing in the trash pile! Probably one of my favorite inktober drawings i'v seen this year!

[jdubz]

It was hard to decide which ones were the right ones to pick, but I think I ended up with the ones I liked best so far:

[LauraA]

So many good entries! Good luck everyone!

[Kuarahy]

These are both from the beginning of the month when I was on top of things I've kept up with Inktober, but I haven't necessarily been making them all story based. . . I'll definitely plan on that for next year though!!
