I first took part in #inktober two years ago (see HERE and HERE) but missed last year. I have made a commitment to myself to join in every day this year, following the official prompts. I notice that there is now a weekly challenge throughout the year, so may well make it my goal for 2021. I am still not the world's most confident drawer, but am finding that I do not need to rely on under pencil drawings quite so much this year.
Simple and cartoonlike for day 1.A quick drawing before work on day 2.So far the only one done not on the day itself. I really had to think about an idea for day 3.Another quick sketch before work for day 4.Another quickie before work on day 5.I have been doing less copying this year and had fun coming up with the rodent for day 6.This was my first thought for day 7 as the Kipling cake factory is only a few miles from where I live.One that I struggled with a little so decided on a literal interpretation of day 8.I am not confident drawing people so decided to show the aftermath for day 9.My immediate reaction to the prompt for day 10.I can't stand people who give responsible dog owners a bad name so this was an immediate idea for day 11.Day 12 was another quickie before work. Lots of extra cleaning going on there so these signs are out a lot.For day 13 I got my inspiration from online (here). When I found the image, I didn't realise that it was available as a rubber stamp.I knew exactly what I wanted to draw for day 14 but I am greatful for a YouTube tutorial which helped me.Nearing the half way point of this challenge, day 15 was the first drawing I did with a minimal pencil undersketch. I will definitely keep going for the rest of the month. I have been using a fine black Posca pen in my 148mm x 130mm Daler-Rowney 150gsm cartridge paper notebook taking a page for each day.
