Inktober idea- has this been done before?
-
I think this could be an awesome approach to Inktober! Such a sweet story!
I had a similar idea: I have an overall story, and each day of Inktober would be a different key moment from the story (almost like a storyboard.) I think I'm going to use "Sketchtember" to get ready, so Inktober will be strictly inking, and not trying to do too much each day
-
Great ideas! The story sounds cute and it would be really fun to watch you progress with it, @TessW .
I have been thinking about reviving a comic strip idea I've been kicking around (and abandoning) for several years. @MissMarck, you have a good idea - using "Sketchtember" to prepare. Thanks for the idea
-
Thanks guys.
That's a really good idea @MissMarck I was thinking of doing somethings similar, in starting the sketch process now. Sketchtember is a really good idea!
Honestly not sure if I want to commit the mental energy into such a big project as of yet and I might just go with the prompt list for this year. We'll see!
-
@tessw, I don't expect to create a finished drawing each day, but just the act of working on a project daily will be the challenge. I often tend to wander off into other interesting things, so this helps build the discipline muscle. Whatever output I end up with will be icing on the cake.

Do this! Do you have instagram? I want to see this
-
@missmarck is sketchtember a real thing? What a great idea to prepare for Inktober!

@tessw i would love to see you do this!
-
@marsha-kay-ottum-owen I've seen a handful of artists do it. Nowhere near the scale of Inktober, but it works for me!
-
@kat That's a good healthy way to look at it!
@jasonandroosmith Thank you! My instagram link is in my signature below.
@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen Thanks!
I'm still not sure if I'll do this for Inktober, but I'll continue to develop it on the side. I like the story, but I kind of want to ponder what format would be best for it. Short graphic novel? Short chapter book? Picture book?
Either way, I'm excited for Inktober and I am glad that "Sketchtember" is a thing now. :}
-
@missmarck That's really cool. I'll check it out but maybe for next year
-
Oh! There it is! I don't miss a thing hahaha

I'm doing more monsters for Inktober. I had a lot of fun with them. Won't paint them this time though.
