Anyone planning to do Inktober this year?
-
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!
-
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
-
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 -
Yeah I'm in it. It will be my first year as well. I'm really excited
-
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?

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!
-
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.
-
@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. -
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.
-
@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!

@carriecopa I love that! Failing spectacularly, because at least it will be spectacular.
-
I'll definitely do some of it. My wife and I are expecting our third child the beginning of November so I anticipate being even more cramped for time. I thought of lumping together a week's worth into a single illustration and posting weekly. Then I saw the comment of working small and now I wonder if I should use that as a daily character design/spot illustration exercise instead.

@jon-anderson congrats on the new soon to be new addition to the family!

@jon-anderson Congrats on the new baby! We have a new granddaughter (6 months now) and she is lighting up our world

@Chip-Valecek & @MissMushy Thank you! They are indeed a treasure from God.
