Anyone planning to do Inktober this year?

Whitney Simms

I’m in. I didn’t know about inktober until a few day into it last year. This year I’m going to do greeting cards to go with the theme. I usually do watercolor first. But only for inktober I’m going to do the ink first. So dive in! It should be fun.

I did it last year and learned a lot. One glaring issue - I was pretty slow at coming up with a good drawing idea AND inking it all in one day. It was a bit too stressful. This year I'm going to start NOW - do my brainstorming and thumbnails this month, then do the inking part in October. . They already released the official prompts if you want to use those.

I’m definitely doing it!

One thing I’m gonna try this year is to use September to plan some. I’ll do some sketches or layouts, so that all I really have to do is sit down and ink once October comes around.

Yay, Inktober! Last year was the first time I completed all 31 drawings. I made a book out of it. I’m still figuring out my approach to this year’s prompts.

I'm planning to. The list seems really interesting. September is a really hectic month though, I can't prepare like I would have wanted. But yeah, definitely attempting it.

I’d really love to but I’m reviewing for our board exam. I have literally no time. Lol

Joen Söderholm

I'd love to do it but will have to see if I have enough time. Otherwise I might just do it on a weekly basis or something like that. Last time I did a monthly challenge I ended up being way too ambitious and it was just too stressful

I will definitely doing it! It is my first so I am really pumped :).. I also ordered the inktober box from ArtSnacks to get the most out of it....

I am planning on it, though I also have a calendar project that might eat up my drawing time. We will see. The first Inktober I did (2 years back) inspired me to get back into drawing and illustration, (after a decade of neglect) so I highly recommended it to anyone!

@carriecopa Last year I did a Tarot cart deck and went as far as drawing them all out before hand so that all I needed to do was ink them each day. It worked great!

nasvikdraws

Definitely. I did it last year and it was a great experience. I was exhausted by the end of the month but it totally worth it.

Gonna give it a try, that's for sure

Debra Garcia

I'm starting to get excited about inktober again. I loved doing last year, though I jumped around like crazy. This year I'd like to keep to a pun theme. All I need to do is ask a bunch of dads what I should draw. Lol. Anyone have any ideas? What I've thought of so far : Cactipus (octopus cactus cross) Poultrygeist (a chicken ghost). Aaaaaand... that's all I've got so far. Hahaha

I'm in it'll be my first time doing a challenge. I've always loved watching other people's drawings unfold

Nathan

Yeah I'm in it. It will be my first year as well. I'm really excited

Heather Boyd

Yes! but I really need to focus on completed simple works so I can post everyday. Can we make a board on here for everyone who will participate? As well as the rules and the prompts each day?

Pinky

That's my intention! Last year I did all my drawings 4 x 6", which made it much more manageable for me. Can't wait to see everyone's work!

@heather-boyd you can go here for the rules and prompts. link text

I’m in this year. I’ve started it for a couple of years and never got through the month but this year I am going to. I AM!

LongJeff

Yep. I'm aiming to but damn is it intimidating. I don't usually draw on paper anymore after moving to digital so rusty doesn't even cover it. Hopefully I'll make the full month before my pride is crushed.
