Thank! Me too

I’ll definitely be sticking with the dip pen for Inktober.

It's good to know what tools are best for you at least

chrisaakins

@Braden-Hallett both look good. On my phone I can't really tell a difference.

braden H

@chrisaakins That's also good. Means I can use whichever one I feel like

Doing some test subjects for my Inktober project. Character study on a balloon . I’m thinking simple is better. It’s going to be the only color in the whole project so I think value lines might jam it up. Although I do like #2 as well as #3, Counterclockwise from the bottom left

@ambiirae sorry for the delayed reply. It’s a new one they released for Inktober. I think it’s just an inking demo for follow along purposes. Haven’t gone through yet, been busy with kids. Hoping to make it happen this weekend.

@burvantill Very nice! i was gonna compliment your badoons even before I read your comment

I'm partial to the simplest middle one, too. It's the one that says 'shiny' to me the most.

I shamelessly stole practice ideas from you people posting your work lol and did a bit of practice today. Hopefully that's ok!!!!!
I have been doing scattered bits of inking, mostly I am just trying to get some sketches done for some of the prompts, hoping to get at least 6 days of participating in, hopefully 10. Being new to illustration I am working very slowly doing tons of thumbnails and research and trying to have decent composition and perspective too............

My daily practice today. Got a bit side tracked from the form line practice. I was trying to figure out something I would like to do for inktober. I might try to use ink to paint for this inktober. Excited to continue the value and light and shadow practice next week. I think I might try with ink wash to make value and light/shadow.

@chrisaakins -I can see you progress-but I am stunned and envious of how you turn this practice/exercise into a composition with variety and interest. Love it

chrisaakins

Here is my practice. You can tell what I've been watching on TV. Also footballs are surprisingly hard to draw.
@Susan-Marks thanks for your kind words!

Did some simple practice today. It is definetly starting to feel better probably do some more but figured I better get my photo in before we loose power to this thunder storm

This was my favorite for today

Thinking of doing 31 pups of october based off our 4 month old pup Cujo

When it comes to practice, there is no stealing, only sharing

@xin-li I think an ink wash is a great idea kinda like watercolour but much more awesome!

oblate spheroids are the bane of my existence. Yours looks pretty awesome, though

Little by little, slowly but surely I feel exactly the same way.

Also, 31 pups of inktober is a great idea!

ambiirae

@Braden-Hallett thanks! still thinking over how I wanna go about it but sort of leaning more cartoonish with costumes

burvantill

@ambiirae I like your balloons. I was having a tough go of it shading my balloons. Your dark one turned out good.

@Braden-Hallett I know. I never really tried doing ink wash. I often admire artists who can make something so suggestive, but looks so casual. It is almost like a magic for me. I probably will fail terriblely, but I hope I will learn a thing or two.

Coley

@Braden-Hallett whew, lol Actually I was listening to the podcasts a bunch this week and a few times they talked about copying for practice as a way to learn so I figured I'm going for it ha ha.
