      It'll be challenging to make this one unique, I'm looking forward to the results!

      A question: Does the image need to only be stark black and white? Or can there be gradients of gray? If I do it in ink, I am tempted to use an ink wash for value. But if that is against the rules, I'd like to know now.

        I’m okay breaking should I say bending the rules if I Happy at the end. May not win. But I win when I am happy with it. I will probably possibly gradient mine - see how it goes.

            @Kasey-Snow my first impression says gradients should be fine

              The works everyone put out for September were incredible! I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with for this one!

              I just want to say that this and the last prompt are really helpful and fun. They provide a good story structure that I think will aid many in getting good pieces for their portfolio.

                P.S. Sorry it's blowing up so big in the forum. Not sure how to fix it.

                  @Miriam Ah, gotcha. Seems like this one seems to not only sets the stage but also dictates a few of the characters as well.

                  Love your profile avatar, by the way!

                    @Heather-Boyd, You can do whatever you like. It's more likely to be favored by the judge(s) if it follows the rules closely, but—you never know.

                    Plus, the ultimate goal is to practice art and create portfolio pieces, so [insert a "follow your heart" sort of thing here 😉 ]. Do what works for you. I'm sure it will be fun for everyone to see—whatever you choose to do.

                      @juliekitzes, If anyone is having trouble seeing the whole image at once, they can click on the image (I like to open it in a new tab).

                      I like the way you created the contrast of light and dark areas, & the different textures. Nice job!

                        So here is my submission. Sometimes we don't understand the love between a girl and her dog. Penny knew a thing or two about biochemistry and wasn't going to let little things like death or decay tear her apart from Fluffy.

                        Done with ballpoint ink and edited a little.

                          Hey Guys,

                          Here is my entry for the October Contest. I wanted to try for something a little different. Hopefully, it's not too dark....:smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:
                          Thanks for looking and good luck! 👍

                                      Here's my entry for the October prompt. I started off with dilute ink washes to create a shadowy scene but then I liked the idea of trying pure black and white so ended up having fun with pattern and texture.

                                        Can I use black and white ink on toned paper? Purple paper, for instance?

                                          @TwiggyT I don't see why not. It IS a black and white drawing and if you use ink I say you are just being creative.
