      @AustinShurtliff Thanks for replying. Lately I have been doing my work with a modified Kyle hi res pencil and do the values either with digital watercolor or with Kyle's gouache a go go and /or some collage textures. In this case, my character has hair that in my opinion would look better done with a pencil/charcoal texture and so far I've been using gouache a go go, which is a gouache but looks more like crayon to me. I like the effect and don't want to change it, but don't know what the judges will think.

      And then there's the matter of whether I can finish it, considering all the non art things I've had to catch up on this month. Hope so!

                    This is my first of three character sheets for Inktober. I have not posted it to critique arena yet, because I want to decide which to submit once I finish the other two. These characters are from a middle grade novel I am currently working on. I decided to draw them for Inktober because I need to flesh them out a bit.

                        @jenithornhill Cute design! I especially love the running pose, the stripy pants so suit him. I believe we can submit more then 1 entry for the contest, can't wait to see the other 2 of yours.

                          @aurelia Oh it would be great if I can enter more than one. I am afraid I won't be able to choose! Thank you!

                                @LauraA the image doesn't have to be square, it just needs to be sized to fit in the template, if that makes any sense๐Ÿ˜„ As for the background info, a sentence or two is great! Just enough to get a feel for the character๐Ÿ‘

                                      Took the time to flesh out a character I came up with a while back. I inked this traditionally in one shot so I wouldn't worry about overthinking the challenge. Had a lot of fun with this one! SaigoCharacterDesign.jpg
