INKTOBER Is Coming!

I don’t mind!

I don’t think anyone will enforce rules and this is just something to do together. I will try to follow the prompts. But if some people don’t then its ok.

Though I think it would be nice if we draw what comes to mind when we see a prompt.:thinking:

We can use this thread for comments, thoughts and suggestions for Inktober. If people want to follow the prompts that’s fine. If you miss a day, don’t give up. Post the next day.

If you post it elsewhere and want to share it, give the info with your drawing. Not only use the #Inktober tag but maybe use a Chrono tag too. …Like… #InktoberChrono.gg2019 If anyone else has a better tag…post it here.

Make sure you post a drawing for the first 2 days at least…I am going to try to figure out prizes(games) for like ā€œThe Most Improvedā€ and ā€œPosting All 30 Daysā€ etc. If any one has any suggestions as to how to do this, I would welcome some help. I have a lot on my plate right now…

As mentioned in a previous arts adjacent thread ideas is my primary weak point so prompts is definitely something that would work for me. I’m going to get an early start and post a ring today already: O

Yeah I saw the prompt and I was like… I can barely draw, let alone come up with something off the top of my head! But, it’s nice that it’s there. Still unsure if I will be doing this. It sounds really fun, but drawing can be extremely frustrating for me. But, I did love it when I drew awhile back even with the frustration. I can at least try. We’ll see what happens. Might practice a bit before tomorrow just to see how I’m feeling. Good Luck everyone!

Okay, I’m in mew. Will need some tips on inking though. I can draw from sight, but not from memory.

Mistakes were made, while I haven’t drawn with rapidograph in ages… Went for a night theme… It will take me 2-3 hours to finish it (not doing that).
It’s pretty abstract for RING theme and really messy, but it’s a start getting reused to drawing without a pencil. I don’t have much ink left to fill up the rest of my rapidographs, so rip detail I can get with thinner one or easier filling with thicker ones :slight_smile: - 0.5 FTW.

That’s lovely though ^^ Swear there a Japanese word for ā€œmoon over waterā€ that I forgot. :heart:

@dusty, already breaking the rules. :thinking:

@onLooSe, thats’ really nice… Now, post it on the thread @coralinecastell suggested the challenge be held.

Are we using tags, @coralinecastell and @Fraggles???

#InktoberChrono.gg2019 and #Inktober2019

@Fraggles, you are correct. I HAVE seen worse clipart. So you did good. :+1:t3:

No, @coralinecastell, I don’t want that ring…

Good work everyone so far :heavy_heart_exclamation::heavy_heart_exclamation::heavy_heart_exclamation:

Before anyone asks…I couldn’t draw a straight line to save my soul…

Sorry this is late but we had PT today…so was kinda busy.

I think you’ll find none of my submissions will feature straight lines. I really don’t care for tags to be honest. We’re working with one thread so it’s not like we need some way to find separate entries spread around a number of subforums or anything.

Mine is still not done. Having a deadline really changes my perspective.

Ok. I’ll skip this day and try the next prompt. Or maybe upload the unfinished one later? Hmmm.

PS. The more I work on it, the worse it looks. I don’t think that’s supposed to happen. And off I GO to do more!

Upload it as it is, is what I am doing :+1:

Yeah just let us see what you’ve got. It’s not like you’re being compared to perfection here or anything. : )

@inferry that is a very well done ring though. I like how you manage to make it come off as a rounded band rather than just a flat circular surface.

Good thing most art doesn’t require straight lines ;D

Maybe when my company leaves, I will give it a run. But colour me impressed with our entries so far.

I am loving it :heavy_heart_exclamation::heavy_heart_exclamation::heavy_heart_exclamation:

It is never too late to pick a pencil, if you know how to write, then you already know how to draw.

Agreed, in fact greenery usually takes good advantage of random wiggly line work.


I wish I could gift myself those too :pensive:, although I think I’ll try more traditional watercolor painting first, see how that goes. :thinking:

Also, you were there before saying you didn’t know a thing about watercolor and look at what nice examples you made there.

@coralinecastell I really like the look of that rodent, the style is pretty much on point.

As long as I want to pull this off… I will regret my dedication in the long run. I had no time the last few days so I tried to catch up today for 2 hours… Still missing #2 and today’s one, but here we go anyway.
