Inktober 2017
« on: October 01, 2017, 02:31:29 pm »

It is that time of year again.



But Arx, what is Inktober?

Every day you draw something, ideally in ink (does it show?). Some people just use the prompts. Some people draw digitally, but on one layer and without using any tools.

But Arx, that's really vague!

Yep! My approach to Inktober is that what you do should involve ink, preferably as the main focus. If you want to do a pencil sketch base, that's alright. If you want to go in YOLO, that's alright. If you want to use gel pens, that's alright. If you want to use your great-grandfather's antique calligraphy set, that's alright. You get the idea.

There are purists and similar things out there, but they confuse and terrify me. I do this for fun and improvement.

But Arx, both those sets of prompts suck...

You don't have to use them! They're just options.



I would say I'll accumulate posted Inktober things here (if you want to share them (please do!)) but that would almost certainly be incorrect.

Oh sweet, i'm not the one having to maintain this thread. :v
Gonna see if i can do better than last year and actually succesfully draw one thing for every day, because last year i failed miserably.

I've been looking forward to this. Always fun to see everyone's art.

This year I've decided to illustrate some of the stories I made up as a kid, while loosely following the prompts. I'll also include a little bit of context for each scene.

Eh, splitdog doesn't mind, that just means he can be pet on both heads at once. :v
Also cool valkyrie there! How the fuck you're shading with ink is beyond me, but it looks neat.

I'm using a brush and some acrylic ink, not a marker. That's about it. :P As the ink on the brush depletes, it leaves lighter marks (and less). I can also add a tiny drop of water to the brush to get grey.

Okay... Ink it is, then (I only noticed this by 2017-10-03, and have been super busy this week, so I'm still 2 days behind). Following Arx's Mythical Inktober prompts (though I'll probably be doing some of the main list on my spare time if they look fun ^^)

That's all I have for now. Cactus cat incoming tonight, and I'll try to catch up to the present over the weekend :)

Haha, have I ranted on it that much? :P Do whatever seems appropriate and works, I don't really mind.

I did not have time to ink anything yesterday. :( I will attempt to catch that up today. I did ink something for day 4, but it really just doesn't bear looking at.
