It's finally Inktober! This is a place you can share the pieces you create from the first week of Inktober (Oct 1-3, its a short week). I will be posting a new thread each week of the month. Also, don't forget to share some of your pieces and your Inktober plan for a chance to be featured this month on this thread.
So excited to see what everyone creates this week!

Day 01 Fish

Presketched in a Hahnemühle Nostalgie A5 Book and Inked Today with a Raphael8404 Brush and Nan-King Ink

Additional Piece, Inked with a Pentel Pocket Brush Pen and used Nanking Ink Deluded with Water for the Wash

The Hahnemühle Book Drawings/Inkings with the Brush will be the Main Fokus for me this Year for the purpose to Level up my Handling with the Brush itself. I have Presketched a Bunch of the Prompts just to be Really Ready each Day to Ink but when i have some more time i might add Additional stuff like above.

Day 1: FISH Feeling a bit stiff and rusty with my inking skills, and I think it shows in my composition.

This is my daughter's first Inktober. She's 10 and has decided to take on the challenge for herself. Day 1: FISH

here’s my Inktober 1 illustration done old school with a paintbrush. I scanned it for the first time, as taking pictures never seemed to capture it well.

Day 1: Kreacher. This year I'm doing the whole thing with my brush pen on one 12x24" piece of 300 lb watercolor paper, so this guy's only 3.5" tall.

I am not inking so much but still following the prompts.

This is the first year I try Inktober. I don't have a motto or anything I want to focus on. For me it's basically about the challenge to make it until the end.

How exciting! Here's my first Inktober post. Looking forward to seeing what everyone has to share

Here's mine. It was done looking at an actual fish and using micron pens and watercolor.

Here’s my day 1! I didn’t like what I posted early in the day, so I restarted and did something different!

@ArtofAleksey this is very very cool!

Hi all, trying to just have fun with Inktober with only my brush pen. I’m skipping pencil and diving right in!

Maureen · 1 Oct 2020, 23:27

Well I'm going to give this a first-time try. I hope to just do black and white and stick with the suggested list.
Thanks for the opportunity to post and to see others' posts.
Here's mine with ink pens on typewriter paper.

What a great idea to make a thread every week! Now we can see everyones lovely creations!
This year I'm creating cute monster characters that will fit into my developing children's book portfolio ️ I'm also posting an accompanying process video with each piece over on my IG https://www.instagram.com/melaniedaigleart/
I'm following the #monstermania2020 prompt list.
Day 1 - Frankenstein's Bride
I imagined the Frankensteins’ daughter trying on her mom’s old wedding dress and wig

Day2 - Wisp (German Timezone so for some a bit early)

Presketched in a Hahnemühle Nostalgie A5 Book and Inked Today with a Raphael8404 Brush and Winsor&Newton Ink

I’ll be making cards this year. Each collection has four designs. This set is “Black bear christmas.” I wasn’t going to stay with the prompts, but I couldn’t help but try and find a way to use fish. So here we go. Yay! I think this card is going to be called “for you.”
