Post your plans for Inktober 2021

[Whitney Simms]

I plan on making designs for my notecards. There will is a pirate collection, light house collection, and maybe a beach quote collection. I need work for the wholesale show in myrtle beach at the end of November. Yay!

I plan on inking and using watercolors. I plan on inking first and then painting.

And I'm going to create the work first thing in the morning after I drop off the kids.

Can't wait to get started. Hopefully it will get me out of the treaters funk. I've just been a little tired these days. Sometimes having a new project creates energy. Gives you those endorfines you need to do the rest of your to do list!

Happy inking y'all! Can't wait to see your projects.

@donnamakesart excited to hear this! I’ve recently discovered your work and I’m an instant fan!

Hi! For the past few years I had a great time creating an Inktober story around the prompts, hoever, this takes a lot of time and this year there are too many things happening ithat demand my time… still, I want to try a simpler version, using my mandatory daily pig drawing session, but I will try to take it easy and give myself some slack if I don’t manage to keep up. Also I am still debating if I will be posting this one on Instagram…
Here is my starting day, featuring my character Porchi!

Happy Inktober, have fun!

Last Inktober, I did 31 illustrations of a Latino boy named Beto. You can see them here on my website if you like. https://www.jeremyrayross.com/inktober.html

This Inktober, I’m introducing a Latina girl named Penelope and her pet Bunny. You can see them in the September monthly challenge.

• Goal for Inktober (why you are doing it and what you hope to accomplish)

Need to get better at drawing and storytelling. The daily challenge also helps build resilience and good habits.

• When you will be making time to complete your drawings

After work, after diner, after helping daughter with homework, but before going to sleep. Hopefully weekends will give me a chance to catch-up or get ahead.

• The parameters for your drawings (any rules you are giving yourself)

1. Don’t overthink it.
2. Have fun
3. Explore different media
4. Show my work
5. Do 31 drawings using the prompt list
6. Include my family in ideas
7. Don’t stress, it’s just a drawing challenge.
8. Did I mention have fun?

My goal is to develop a children's illustration style so I can build a starter portfolio. Watch me grow on Instagram @DanGetsGraphic

Here's my fist attempt:

The only parameters I've set are cute animals the first week and then I might change it up for the next week.

Well, I had planned to participate. My idea was to take the opportunity to improve the way I draw elements in my maps by doing some small ink illustrations focusing on different map elements. This way I would be only focusing on how I draw the elements, not on an entire map.

I don't know if I will have the time to do a drawing per day though. But I think that I will at least start, since it begins on a Friday, and see how it goes. I would have to make the drawings at night, so let's see if I'm not too tired most of the the days.

My goal for Inktober is to practice illustrating. I am an artist, but have mainly done drawings/paintings of real life scenes and less storytelling.
I am a high school art teacher, and have been given an art 1 level class this year for the first time. Since it is only one class, I am making that my/our time for Inktober.
My parameters are to make each drawing something personal.
Can't wait to see everyone's artwork

I'm just not seeing the same level of ambition from everyone else.

Hey Gang, here is my plan for Inktober this year.

1. My goal this year is to finish rounding out a couple gaps in my portfolio. I want to make some of these Inktober pieces into spot and vignette illustrations, along with some sequential illustrations.

2. I'm squeezing time in when ever I can. I'll work a bit in the morning before work, do some prep during lunch, and get into some inking in the evenings.

3. I don't think I so much as have rules for myself this year. I do want to hit all 31 days, but it that means posting a piece I don't think is strong enough, I won't do it. A fun idea I do have, would be to make a couple of these digitally with some custom brushes I made using textures from last years Inktober.

Day one and the prep leading up to it has been fun! Excited to see what people post!
