Anyone planning to do Inktober this year?

[TianLian]

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.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

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

[Bennie]

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....

[adc]

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.

[braden H]

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

[kaitlinmakes]

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!

[burvantill]

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

[LollyW]

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.

[MissMushy]

@LongJeff I hear ya! lol
Spending these next few weeks doing the inking practice exercises in Jake's "how to Ink" video trying to limber up.

[EmilyM]

I'm going to go for it, I've already tried brainstorming for it. Thought I'm probably not going to agonize over it as much as I do other pieces. Gonna try and keep it fun.

[carriecopadraws]

@longjeff Analog inking has no "undo" button! But it can build confidence in your work so I think it's worth a shot even if you feel rusty. My goal is to be "braver with black" and fill in big shadow areas and dark-colored objects instead of just drawing the outlines. It could fail spectacularly!

[burvantill]

@carriecopa I love that! Failing spectacularly, because at least it will be spectacular.
