How To Do Inktober

Leah Boulet

This was a great podcast. Lots of good ideas to chew on. I'm doing Inktober for the first time. I am wondering, for those of you who are experimenting with ink and getting used to the tools, are you using one type of drawing tool on one paper for 30 days or playing around with different pens, inks, etc and different papers? I'm not sure which approach to use. I have different pens, brush pens and dip pens. I'd like to get good at all of them and see which I really gravitate to, but I'm thinking if I switch up too much, I won't get the benefit of improving my skill with one of them over time. Any thoughts?

I was just about to ask if I can sneak peek to the prompt list before it starts! and there you go...
i see he picked some tough subjects again for ink eheh...
he's good at picking them out. I salute him and alphonso, they are both great artist with fine business touch to their art.

@Jake-Parker Question here: If we don't have an Instagram or other social media account, does SVS Learn Forum have enough space for us to post our Inktober pieces to the Forum? Maybe keeping them to a certain size? Thanks, @Maureen

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.

Hi @AustinShurtliff
Thanks for the info about that.
Do you know if we can post small daily drawings for Inktober in the Forum if we do not have a social media presence?

@Maureen I just created a thread that you can post all of your drawings to for this week. I will be making a new one each week. Here is the link to this week's thread.

What I regret is, the people who don't follow inktober prompts but follow their own, still use the hashtag Inktober. I don't do Inktober but I like looking at all the variations and iterations around the same word. My fun is a bit spoilt fortunately the forum exists!
