Featured Student Special Edition: Inktober

[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!

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:

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!!

Hello! I am new to the forum and it seems my replies don't show yet (like my introduction) ... still I try to submit some of my inktobers: The ones from day 16, wild, and day 17, ornament.

Yeah, seems it's working now!

@burvantill Thank you!

[APHOTICMOTH]

@K-Flagg Aw! Thank you. I've really loved seeing yours. Hard to choose favs, I love the T-rex, the Nessy type skeleton, and, the enchanted skeleton.

@jdubz I love #1!

[BichonBistro]

@burvantill love these!

[AustinShurtliff]

Thank you to everyone that has submitted something so far! It is a lot of fun seeing how each of you approached Inktober this year.

Haven't been checking the forum in a little while, but I have been consistently posting my inktober inks! This year I tried to tell a simple story through my inks and didn't stick to a prompt.

Since I was in the middle of drawing my 100 bears when Inktober hit, I decided to simply continue and include them in every Inktober prompt (a challenge within a challenge - cue evil laugh!). These are the two that best tell stories - PATTERN and DARK. Learned a lot between the 2 - learned crosshatching and inkwash this year!

[BichonBistro]

No concept or story, but decided on a whim to go back to scribbling, something that spontaneously occurred during inktober 2017 and was surprisingly freeing. I forgot about it until I discovered scribble-hatching is actually a “technique” by participating in the inking class with @Braden-Hallett & friends. My challenge was to work digitally in procreate (technical pen), complete each scribble as quickly as possible and (gulp) go public on instagram.

After posting my late-to-the-party #inktober5k scribble on instagram, @clcanadyarts referred me to a very interesting Ted talk by artist Phil Hansen who was advised by a neurologist to “embrace the shakes” after suffering permanent nerve damage (from single-minded pursuit of pointillism). https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=anujFqvCJsk. For those of us stuck on preoccupation with outcomes/products, the concept of destruction is thought-provoking as well.

@BichonBistro Beautiful.
