/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Im gonna take part, but i wont have a list or anything, ill just draw whatever comes to mind like i always do.
I will post them on both my tumblr and insta, which are both Nilefar if you're interested

I'll do it for sure. I am going to try not to copy any artwork for 30 days. Since you already made a thread I'll post my stuff in here.

Here is the official link http://mrjakeparker.com/inktober

InkTober rules:

1) Make a drawing in ink (you can do a pencil under-drawing if you want).

2) Post it on your blog (or tumblr, instagram, twitter, facebook, flickr, Pinterest or just pin it on your wall.)

3) Hashtag it with #inktober

4) Repeat

Note: you can do it daily, or go the half-marathon route and post every other day, or just do the 5K and post once a week. What ever you decide, just be consistent with it. INKtober is about growing and improving and forming positive habits, so the more you’re consistent the better.

Yes, every year I see people doing it and want to join in but I was too lazy. Now I'll do it for sure.

I'm not sure yet about a list, been thinking about it... I just can't define a theme, maybe I'll just do fanart of stuff I like since inktober is good as a practice and also to advertise yourself, and fanart is the best to gain followers. hehe

>>2236787
>1) Make a drawing in ink (you can do a pencil under-drawing if you want).
No digital ink I suppose...

>Are you gonna use a list or just drawing whatever?
I want to make a list just so I have some sort of guideline but I don't even know what to write down. Emotions? Events? Nouns?

I was scribbling here at work in this small paper(kinda like a post-it) and I think this will be my first inktober drawing.

>>2236806

I think it loses part of it's purpose if you do digital as digital inking is way easier than traditional.(and please don't start an argument about that)

>>2236858
>I think this will be my first inktober drawing.
>9/30
>october

>>2236862

This is just a half assed sketch in a small piece of paper with blue bic pen.

>>2236760
>no plan/guide/schedule to make sure that you're making progress
>drawing for FUN
Filthy hobbyists.

As for your question OP: my challenge for October is to relearn color and design theory. After finishing videos with Nathan Fowkes, I'll move on to gnomon workshops.

>>2236880
>As for your question OP: my challenge for October is to relearn color and design theory. After finishing videos with Nathan Fowkes, I'll move on to gnomon workshops.

Yeah, because it's impossible to do a ink drawing and study at the same time.

>>2236760
I'm doing it, it's been far too long since I drew on actual paper and I'd been meaning to try to get some practice in anyway. I think maybe I will look for a list this time, last year it was sorta hard to come up with anything interesting.

>>2236858
>wiplash

mfw inktober is here and I still can't draw for shit. I love ink. I just wish I could draw better. I'll draw but probably won't upload stuff...I'm too ashamed.

>>2236880
There's another thing called Octorber Sketch, pretty sure it was started by a concept artist. It's called "sketch" but a lot of people do finished pieces daily.

>>2236918

Yeah, when I noticed it was too late. It's a little sketch anyway. lol

>>2236922

Post it anyway.

I'll do it. Honestly, I've never heard of it until the other day.

To be sincere, I use ink almost everyday, so it's just a little push for me to be more disciplined and not miss any days. I'm in it mostly with the hopes to gain more followers, some bit of attention from using the hashtag, who knows.

>>2236760
>inktober
>not drawing squid girls

>>2236979
Fuck off pedotrash

>>2237013

>>2236760
That sounds like a good idea, I'll try doing monster girls too. What tools you using OP?

I need themes... Anyone's got any ideas?

>>2237154
Try looking up 30 day challenges on tumblr if you're short on ideas

>>2237133

dip pens mostly

I'm pretty new to art and I just grabbed a small pack of Micron pens, an 01 an 03 and an 05. In addition to shitty bic pens.

Should these suffice? Does anyone have suggestions for pen drawings? My experience is entirely with pencil sketching so far.

>>2237373
Holy shit are you me
Just bought this today

>>2237362
Teach me your ways

>>2237373
Those are a good starter pack, pretty easy (and fun) to use.

Day 1 - trying to do all these from imagination, that is my inktober goal. Started with brush pen cause I need to get better at it

>>2236917
>>2236922
>>2236973
>>2237373
>>2236760
Post your inktobers - I expect to see 5 drawings when I wake up tomorrow

>>2236858
this counts - kudos

>>2237453
I'm holding off on the first few days because I have to finish some commissions.

>>2237373
>Does anyone have suggestions for pen drawings?
I used a thicker pen when I started using pen (pilot fineliner) - it was more forgiving. The 005 and 01 microns leave less to the imagination and you may appear to have more chicken scratching when you try to add volume and vary your line weights.

But at the end of the day the 01 micron is my favorite. I found that the 005 tip wears away too fast when you draw on copy paper (it is like drawing on sand paper). If you draw on bristol board or something smoother they last longer. The 01 can take a bigger beating, but I usually wear the tip out before it runs out of ink (I draw mostly on copy paper)

Day 1 for drawlloween/inktober, not much detail but i didnt have much time either.

>>2237453
Love it. Also working with a brush pen here.

>>2237471
forgot pic

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT

like 2 days ago my first and single brush pen run out. it will be until 10th of this month when I get my paycheck, one day to get to the bank and maybe a week until I get the shipment. I will miss most of the inktober

fuck being born in a remote place

>>2237491
>Oh noes, I can't draw without my precious brush pen
>Excuses

Get a fucking 3$ biro/bic pen and start drawing you humongous faggot, you don't need a fancy brush pen.

>>2236760
fuck fuck what do i draw guys?

>>2237453

Oh, that's cool! I like the overall flow of the composition.

I defined my goals already, I'll start drawing tonight probably (still 9 AM here in Brazil).

Everyday I'll try to finish a comic page of something I like(like that page featuring the movie Whiplash) or something from imagination if I think of a story.

ALSO I'll try to mix the tools using the pentel pocket brush. I really want to learn using brush pens to get a more dynamic linework, but I fuck it every time, particularly the details as I have a heavy hand and can't figure how some artists do details with that brush pen.

>>2237504
>3$

go to a gas station and pick up a pack of like 30 bic pens for 50 cents

>>2237504
bic pen =/= brush pen

>>2237518
>get a cheap brush
>get some cheap ink
>dip brush in ink

>>2237518
>missing the point

>>2237521
which is?

>>2236801
JUST DO IT

>>2237522
Really?

You don't need a fucking brush pen to draw. you can draw with almost anything. It's not about the tool.

If you're so adamant about using a brush pen, just do what >>2237520 said, but stop making shit excuses on why you can't work.

>mfw I'm only using shitty copy paper, a thin pen and a large black marker.

>>2237529

I already said I'm gonna do it, for sure.

Anyway... Can someone point me to a good video of artists drawing with a pentel pocket brush without the video being speed up? I know a lot of artists use it, but can't find a good video besides some with Jake Parker himself.

>spent hours today trying to draw something for the first day
>everything was rubbish-tier

>>2237511
if you don't know what to draw, use the list from op's image. That's what I'm gonna do, I'm in a halloween mood anywas :)

>>2237491

You do ink on a simple bic pen then you do the remaining days with your fancy pen

>2015
>Still making excuses

>>2237376
>>2237373
Don't waste them to fill in black areas. That's what i did with one and i used it in 3 days

>>2237716
Thanks anon
sorry for your loss

i decided to try it out for the first time. But more of a combination of the inkotber and the drawlloween 2015 thing so maybe it's against the spirit of it. and maybe against the rules, but I did have a nice time trying to think of where I want my lines to go before I put them down. and thinking of negative space..

any critique? (I also digitally coloured it "KINDA" but i wont post that.)

Oh shit, it's this time of year again

>>2237742
I think you could've worked more on the technical aspects of the composition and created more of a realistic contrast with the black but it looks fine, just wouldn't wanna be int eh same room sniffing those fumes.

>>2237774
Neat, I really like the rough feel to it, did you sketch at all before doing it?

>>2237778
Nope, I dived straight in with my brush pen. I actually was gonna sketch first, but I didn't bring a pencil.

Saw this and tried drawing a succubus

>>2237778
yeah, there are alot of flaws and ways I could of made it better. I'm still working on basic composition as I'm not that great of an artist. I just had a basic idea in my head. he wears black with orange accented stripes and I thought it would be cool to see that against black BG. Lets see if I can do any better tomorrow.

Yes, i was soaring high when I was filling in the blacks.

this is so much harder than I remembered
my lines are so trembly

>>2236760
Can i try again pls or is it one per day?
Have never really drawn anything straight to ink.
Also why arent any of you taking a pic from an angle and with the tool besides it? Dont you wanna be cool? :^)

How's this? I haven't inked since high school.
You can tell I'm not very comfortable with the medium lol

>>2237825
I think you can, the more the merrier I guess, just don't overwork yourself

>>2237869
I really like this, there's just something about it... The simplicity of the subject with those wings really seems to work.

>>2236922
Welp here is my first one, tear it apart with criticism pls. Boy is it hard, I'm only getting used to working on tablet. My hand hurts so much as well... I decided I'll go with the list from OPs post but not gonna do girls only, just general monsters. I was able to do only digital today so sorry about that, second will be with real ink.

>>2237859
Wow. The face is a bit weird but the linework is so gud. I would hug you if I could.

>>2237875
yeah it's nice but it lacks symmetry where there aught to be, and the inconfident lines do not help

I need more loomis >.<

>>2237783
try not to hide the hands

>>2237921
You got me, I really need to practice them more.

>>2237905
Yeah, I don't think I could convey the angle of the face correctly, and thank you! It was a very meticulous process lol

>>2237859
You're the guy who reads the shoujo pointy chin manga, arent you. Just lift the chin line a little bit and she's perfecttt. Will you color?

>>2237720
It's okay i made nice things. No loss imo

>>2237939
Hah you caught me, and thank you, I don't know how I'd go about fixing it if it's inked... would liquid paper do the job?
And I don't think I'll color it, I don't have my copic markers anymore.

tomorrow will be better!

starting these ideas tomorrow, for today I did a shitty sketche just to feel I didn't miss 1st day kek

Ok, did the page. The idea was to go heavy on black to give a more oppressive feel, don't know if I achieved that. Also used a bolder pen on the old guy to make him look less delicate. Don't know either if I achieved that impression. lol

Anyway, it's done, tomorrow I'll try a lighter theme.

>>2237971

This is really cute!

How are then monster girl waifus coming along? Here's my prelim sketch before I slap some inks on. Still gonna work on the wings a little. What you guys think?

Damn, I didn't know inktober had become so huge. Posted mine from today, searched for the hashtag and it was instantly far away from the top! :O

Alright, day one.

>>2236787
so... that was this shit, now I understand why in tumblr a lot of people uploaded drawings with this.

well I guess that ballpoint pen doesn't count.

>>2238193
Does the ballpoint pen contain ink?

Here's my shitty attempt for day 1.
>>2238193
I believe it does.

>>2236952
it could mean work in progress lash

>>2238232

lol... good point!

Any recommendations on books or classes about using inks?

>>2237453
what kind of brush pen are you using, im just using a sharpie and some microns in this one

>>2238112
I like your shit. blog?

>>2238101
Just got out of class and finished Inking my Harpie. How is everyone else's night going?

>>2236760
Planning on drawing whatever. Just hoping to stick to it.

>>2237774
This is awesome

>>2238321
Back is rekt so I'm stuck home for the next couple weeks. How about you anon?

hello everyone. here is today's harpies

>>2238333
Sorry to hear that bro. At least you'll have a good amount of time for some drawan?

Just got out of the shower and about to do a bit of thumbnailing on a comic I'm working on for the second chapter.

Also nice Inktober! Is that a quill?

>>2238321
Nice job anon! She's a qt
>using an actual brush
you are far more powerful than I will ever be

Thinking of designing some sort of god/deity thing for every day of inktober. if I run out ideas I'll probably just fall back on goretober/drawlloween prompts. Here's day one!

>>2237453
Day 2 - it took me like an hour to get the pose to look passable without a ref (I won't bother you with the trial and errors). I darkened the BG in PS after I scanned it. Is that cheating? Used a 01 micron today.

/ic/ delivers - I counted 20 day 1's. That can only mean that there will be at least 20 more posts tomorrow. Don't disappoint me /ic/ - there is some awesome in here.

I don't have a list but it's going to be "angels" and "dolls", and some other monster anatomies

>>2237472
i like skulls

>>2237505
FFFFFF??

>>2237825
>drawn anything straight to ink
you can do a pencil underdrawing then either erase (but you may get some ink lifting) or if you use a colored pencil remove the pencil after you scan

>>2237901
>second will be with real ink
feed me inks

>>2237915
i think you mean 1/31 more inks + more loomis

>>2238098
holy fuck that is a lot of ink

>>2238223
whats your theme for inktober? goblins? just curious - I could go for more goblins

>>2238287
I used the pocket brush pen. Did you use the sharpie on the noodle shadows? Some parts look a little thick, maybe just iterate over the shadows with the microns? Neat spaghetti head

>>2238336
scary - looking forward to seeing more

>>2238350
love the clouds

>>2238377
>some sort of god/deity thing for every day
do it

>>2238321
>How is everyone else's night going?
I didn't give up so it was a good night - heading to bed now - cya

Not ink but I tried

guess I'll just do the list in order. bonus discarded sketch.

>>2238542
This anon here
>>2238321

Reminds me of my first Harpie I did like 2 years ago when I first tried out the challenge and didn't see it all the way through.

day 2

So guys my entire, or at least most of it, progression has been on an intuos tablet, I'm just used to the smooth surface it provides. Even though I used it mostly for line art, I just can't seem to be able to translate that on paper. I have problems doing the same lines on a rough paper and feel my hand shaking way more than on the tablet, any tips for this ? I would say i'm pretty good at lineart but do not get the same results on paper.

>>2238615
I would try warming up my hand beforehand. Grab a piece of plain printer paper and make strokes on it with whatever you're gonna draw with. Pencil, pen, brush etc. make broad strokes, scratches, hatching, circles anything to just get that hand warmed up. Do it for about 5 minutes. See if that helps

>>2238585

Cool shit yo

What was your day 1?

>>2238659
a fucking quick sketch in 5 mins just to not feed bad about having forgoten this kek

>>2238669
>>2238585
These are great! What sort of pen are you using? It looks like a firm brush pen to me.

>>2238671
main pen is on the picture, secondary pen is a black bic with round point (I'm sorry), white pen, and some marker for bigger areas

tools does not matter that much, except if I would use metal quill pen, then I would mess my drawing by splashes

>>2238669
>>2238585

you are overdoing the white stuff. it looks like somebody jizzed all over her face

>>2238699
I think it works fine

>>2238699
really good input, will follow that on my next one

>>2238430
love ya tablefriend. I'd be sharing here but my camera and lighting in my room is shit, and I don't want that subtracting peoples opinions.

i'll be keeping my eye on this thread today as well. /ic/ don't let me down, i wanna see 20 day 2's

>>2238439
I don't have a theme, just want to draw whatever comes to mind, but maybe goblins will be a recorrent subject matter this Inktober. I fucking love goblins.

>>2236760
>going with shitty social media trends
I bet you use words like "study" when referring to your drawings too.

>tfw you have so little going on in your life you were actually excited for inktober

>>2238746

A trend started by an artist who also gives advice to aspiring artists.

>>2238764
I know that feel. Ain't no shame in that

>>2238746
I agree Inktober is just a bad meme, but why can't a drawing be referred to as a study?

>>2238746
Lol lookit this salty bitch.

>>2238798
Because in most cases the word "study" is used in the wrong context

>>2238800

>>2237869
Day 2

>>2238798
>>2238801

Tbh I'm more concerned at how 'meme' here is used in the wrong context

>>2238807
ikr? smh tbh

>>2238746
>not going along with social media trends

How do you plan on getting noticed then, bruv? Sometimes it's good to go with the flow of things when it's beneficial to you. Or do you plan on keeping your precious "studies" to yourself where nobody can see them, and where nobody will appreciate them?

>>2238814
>whoring for attention instead of gaining a genuine audience who sincerely enjoy your drawings
It's like you want to sellout on purpose.

>>2238815
>he thinks just doing a simple 'challenge' is the same as whoring.

Yeah okay.

>>2238817
>taking what I said out of context
yeah ok.

>>2238815

>>2238815


Made me kek due to how your head is so full up your arse

>>2238819
>taking what I said out of context as well.

>>2237971
day 2!

>>2238863
I really like your style.

Here's my prelim sketch for day two of monster girl challenge/Inktober.

Hope you guys don't mind me posting the sketches. Just trying to keep the thread active. I can stop if it bothers people.

>>2238377
day 2! some sort of demon aristocrat, kinda lazy but w/e

>>2238945
super cute!! and I personally really like seeing prelim sketches, so keep it up!

>>2238863
dang anon, this is great! excellent use of shapes/silhouette.

I made this for yesterday's drawlloween and inktober I guess, it turned out more as a skeleton than a ghost which was the theme of day 1

>>2238814

The only problem I saw just after posting is that... It got too big with participants! lol

I think it was good to get noticed when it was still small, but as I already said, just seconds after I posted it was already away from the top updates because there is so much people doing it now. hahaha

Anyway it's cool to participate in a challenge and challenge yourself.

I'm pretty bad at this whole drawing with pens thing.
In addition to being pretty bad at this whole drawing thing.

I'm pretty bad at this whole drawing with pens thing.

>>2238945
And here is the Ink'd version.

>>2239065
Oops. Forgot the image. Doi.

day 2

>>2239067
the fucking brush

>>2239141
What about the fucking brush?

Ink is my go to format anyway.

I might try the list for fun.

30 min late, but I finally did it. It was a busy day.

FUCK
I'm already late.

>>2238333
day 2

>>2238350
Neat page, and it's actually just micron pens. I want to try quill soon though.

>>2238333
day 2
>>2238350
Thanks! That's a pretty neat page. And I'm just using microns at the moment, I want to try quill soon though.

>>2238336
day 2, inkwash is fun.
lovin all the monstergirls

>>2237859
Day 2. I was a lot less meticulous now that I know how much detail I can add in the linework before it becomes too cluttered.

>>2239236
I love how much detail you put into it! How did you color the cat?
Also his face in the middle panel doesn't look at the right angle, but that's about it, cool work pal.

>>2239277
I know what style of rendering you're trying to achieve, looks a bit off right now but you seem to be on the right track, I'd say start with basic shapes so you get the hang of it.

>>2239278
The angle of the horse legs throws me off, the rest of it looks pretty cool, I would've gone with a bit more contrast on the wash but it shows that you're getting confident with that technique which is good.

>>2239293
yeah i didn't really plan to take this sketch as far as i did so the perspective on the legs came out a little bit wonky. i'll definitely keep it in mind next time.
thanks for the advice.

>>2238430
Day 3 - I drew without planning and I got too many tangents. There are some poorly conceived areas in this drawing, let's just move on to day 4... it's friday and I am exhausted.

back to pocket brush today + a little 01 micron

from 20 down to 16??? - for shame /ic/. That means atleast 24 drawings tomorrow to catch up.

>>2238437
cool - needs more filter

>>2238522
if this isn't ink what is it?

>>2238542
>>2238564
kek

>>2238805
cute - but if I were half horse I wouldn't be so concerned with wearing a shirt

>>2238949
not gonna lie, this freaks me out a little

>>2238972
baka, what kind of pen is that?

>>2239043
>bad at this whole drawing with pens thing
thats why you do 31 days of inking. I am sure one of the remaining 27 days will be better than whatever you start with.

>>2239067
should have made the pony toys half human

>>2239133
solid effort

>>2239288
it doesn't look too cluttered to me

>>2239288
those lines make my dick hard

>>2237825
Dammit almost forgot about this.
Lets start again. i will try to do 3 today.
>>2238439
>you can do a pencil underdrawing
That will make things a bit easier.

>>2238699

While I agree it looks off for the 5 minute sketch (since it looks like one big highlight), I think it works well for the centaur.

>>2239491
is a regular 4.0 staedtler pigment liner, I use it slightly sideways so the line is thicker in certain angles

>>2239491
>if this isn't ink what is it?
Poster paint.

Did better today but on a smaller scale.

>>2238298
http://cassiopolegatto.tumblr.com

>>2239293
>How did you color the cat?

Grey marker number 6. :)

Thanks!

>>2236760
Does anyone know what supplies i wold need to start inking traditionally?
Ive never done this, so i know it will suck, but i want to start but don't know where to start.

>>2239649

cheap bic pen

no really, if you're still here halfway through inktober we'll advice you more tools you can you

>>2239649
http://mrjakeparker.com/inktober

>>2239654
Well you made it real hard not to quit, if I used cheap bics I would quit as well. I have to recommend felt tip pens, you can get a staedtler/micron for 3 bucks. Or if you want ballpoints there is pentel hybrid technica, again for around 3 bucks, which is really nice to work with.

>>2238949
day 3, some goblins based off borzois. not really feeling the whole deity theme today, maybe tomorrow?

>>2239649
most people here are using brush pens, i think, but for a beginner maybe a technical pen would be easier. microns are relatively cheap and easy to find, and they come in both varieties.

joining a bit late here, not sure what I just made

>>2238863
day 3

>>2239043

Well this is my day 3.

>>2238805
Day 3
Weak

Day 3, better than my expectations (also longer)
sadly bad paper for that much water

Day 03, I need to get some proper white ink.

>>2238863
>>2239823
dang son I am really liking your stuff. Gotta take a page out of your book and focus on simplicity of form. You got a tumblr or something where I can see more?

>>2239828
Not weak!! It's very cute!
If you're unsatisfied you just gotta push yourself harder tomorrow.

>>2239846
10/10 would date and eat jello with.

>>2239991
I'm over at http://57001.tumblr.com/
Really appreciate the words, bro!

>>2239649
Might as well post this comparison I did of waterproof pens that are commonly found in stores. The Sharpie pens are easy to find, but the ink is fairly grey and dye based. PITT, Micron, and Staedtler are pretty interchangeable and perfectly fine pens.

I'm going to continue to proselytize for the Pentel "Finito!". It has an ink flow like a Pilot Precise and tip like an 03 Micron (albeit more durable). The thing is just fantastic and my new favorite drawing pen.

I'll try to borrow a better camera and make a better one with more pens.

>>2239656
He changed his recommendation list this year. I'll have to try some of those new ones.

>>2239591
The right one is great.

>>2239846
The paper buckling all around the slime girl is fucking amazing. You did good, anon.

>>2239278
day 3. had a lot of fun with this one.

>>2239990
im digging the shape design on that robot

love the loose linework, reminds me of amano's style. what kind of pen/pencil did you use here?

>>2239278

>>2239990

>>2239133
day 3

It would look way better with fineliner pens, but as I challenged myself to use mostly brush pen for this inktober, here it is. Really sloppy as I had to rush it, won’t have much time today to do anything else. :(

>>2239067
Day 3. Used a brush pen today instead of a regular brush.

>>2240124
>>2239990
>>2239802
>>2239488
I like these.

Postan' my day one. I wont post everyday since I typically only do like 5 to 6 drawings each inktober.

>>2240281
Oh and yours is cool too. The resolution is a bit excessive though. Should be smaller size.

>2 days late already
welp, this was bound to happen.

>>2239670

I would say cheap bic pens are not that bad as long as you use them in the same way you would use a sharp pencil. but for regular inking techniques it is pretty bad

>>2239520
This is harder than i thought. Should have refined the underdrawing more haha.
Kinda want to nail this harpy before continuing

>>2239488
Day 4 - I keep drawing the same mech, as it turns out my imagination is incredibly limited. Colored it in with some super juicy markers. It felt so good.

Used only the 01 micron today

from 20 to 16 to 15 not so bad keep it up anons!

>>2239688
i had to google what a borzois was - good stuff

>>2239826
this is already better than your last one

>>2240144
cool camo

>>2240270
nice throw back - also nimbus looks like a sperm

>>2240341
>only do like 5 to 6 drawings each inktober
you should do more, this one is pretty good

>>2240414
excellent choice

>>2240460
>Kinda want to nail this harpy before continuing
keep going man I want to see what else you got

>>2240467
jesus christ... I was looking at last years inktober, and I drew the same thing!!

>mfw this is the longest I've ever stuck with one of these art challenges
>>2240093
Thanks!
>>2240124
And I just used one of those pens you get at hotel receptionist desks then some Prismacolor markers

>>2240475

Very cool creatures, yo. Those lines are dope too.

>>2240856
Thank you! Also, awesome vampire. You went the extra mile and applied ink washes.

>>2240976
holy shit, these are ace. fuckin cool as hell designs yo

>>2240736
day 04

>>2240281
Day 4. More Brush Pen stuff since I'm currently away from my desk.

Is it me or is inktober absolutely huge?

This is the first time I'm into it and I've honestly never heard about it before. Now, everyone I know is doing it and I'm seeing it on various different websites and in very different styles as well. The other years I was not much engaged online, not even posting my drawings anywhere, so I might have not known about this... Was it as big as it is now on the other years?

>>2241133
Yeah

>>2241133
It's the same as usual, I think. What might make it seem bigger is there are a lot of "knockoff" October drawing challenges like drawlloween, drawtober, and goretober. Everyone and their mom is doing some sort of 30-day challenge, it's just not necessarily inktober.

>>2241086
is there somewhere I can follow your stuff? Really great work!

>>2241173
Thank you!
You can follow here: >>2239596 and there is a link to dA and instagram there too.

>>2239826

Day 4. I rushed it and fucked around with markers too much.

Day 4

4th

>>2239288
Day 3 late as fuck
Pose books are life-savers

>>2239491
>it doesn't look too cluttered to me
I tried to make it less cluttered than my day 1 drawing so that's good lol

>>2239514
Thanks anon, I'm really flattered!!

wow

>>2240976
Liked imediatley on tumblr. i love it so much. especially the 6 armed one

>>2241302
What's their tumblr?

>>2241302
>>2241071
>>2240988
Thank you!

>>2241308
My tumblr is Thomaswakely.tumblr.com

>>2241133
I didn't have tumblr last year so I don't know, but tumblr has been exploding the past couple days.

/ic/ has had 10x more participation this year. We had 2 threads that just died last year
>>/ic/thread/1850937
>>/ic/thread/1868398

It's unclear how long this will last. Hopefully nobody burns out - there is some nice stuff from /ic/ in here.

>>2241353
It also trended in tumblr last year...and Twitter.. and instagram

Probably more so now because after running strong all these years it can now be considered some sort of official event for artists

4th!

>>2240467
Day 5 - out of time tonight. I will color it later and fix up some of the ink slips. I feel like I might get back logged. I should buffer a few inks so I can take a day off if work explodes.

the pocket brush still defeats me. I need to work on consistency. I know how thick I want some lines, but I lack the coordination.

up to 18?? amazing - and here I always thought /ic/ was full of lazy fucks

>>2240480
JUST

>>2240489
how are you doing the red? is it just a vanilla red pen?

>>2240491
looks like lord genome

>>2240519
>catching up
go go go

>>2240639
not too bad - do something else now

>>2240758
love the rocks and the bot thing

>>2241117
man your tumblr stuff is great esp the water colors

>>2241181
there can never be to many markers

>>2241226
can't wait to see what you will do for day 5

>>2241285
nice monster teeth

>>2241287
seriously - your line confidence is unbelievable

>>2241403
that poor bird

4th, a bit late but yesterday could not end values

>>2241472
For the red I used this red Sakura pigma brush pen

Btw here is my 4th day, couldn't upload it here before

>>2240489

>>2240519
Day 3, I don't have the endurance to cover an entire page without starting to scribble

>>2238333
>>2240636
Thanks, guys.
I'll dump Inktober shit here each time
Missed a few days

>>2241544
great work anon!

>>2241550
wicked city?

Day 4
>>2240479

Holy shit, there's so many ink magicians in here. I hope I can reach your caliber one day.

>>2241287
Day 4, still trying to catch up, hopefully I'll be able to do today's drawing tonight.

>>2241472
Thanks anon, it was really hard to transition from digital-only, I find myself looking for Ctrl + Z when I draw a line I don't like, haha.

>>2241544
Holy shit, how do you shade like that? How do you make those really fine lines?

>>2240856
Day 5 - botched werewolf transformation

>>2241550
Day 5, I tried to make a Harpy trying new things but don't like the final result
>>2241684
No, the idea just came to my mind, such a coincidence haha but didn't heard of it until now

>>2240508
Day 5

Missed the first 4 days, here's day 5

Day 5

>>2241181

Day 5.

Wow, I’ve hadn’t this much fun drawing in a while. It was so cool to just put down lines without caring about mistakes at all... Really refreshing. Also, this is a cool series, you should watch it!

I’ve put some grey flat colors on the sails because it was kinda confusing in the digital version.

>>2240781
Day 3 for me but I drew 2 extras so i'm day 5 like the rest of yuse' guys

>>2241285
tumblr plz

>>2242239

>>2242242
I literally can't help myself. I'm sorry I know i'm wrong for doing it this way but I take head on snaps and just hate everything about them because all I see are my numerous mistakes. It's depressing to think that I can't even upload a single fucking picture without adding some retarded camera angle and filter to hide my garbage skill level.

>>2242266
Simple. If you can't take a picture at a normal angle, don't upload it.

>>2242266
>literally can't help myself.
Yes you can, just fucking do it, you piece of shit.

>>2242266
>literally
It's not cute. Plz stop.

>>2242266
maybe a tip that will help the mental aspect of it:

if someone sees your picture and will see the flaws, they are GOING to notice the flaws if it's straight on or not.

If it's a pleb, they aren't going to notice the mistakes no matter what. Just upload it straight on pls.

>>2242267
>>2242270
>>2242271
I know you guys are right. I mean i've had problems with this before. I finished this like 4 hours ago and sat on it because I know you guys hate when I do it. But no matter how I took the head on snap I just kept hating everything about the drawings and myself too to be honest.

Long story short I wasn't going to upload it at all but I didn't want to miss a day in inktober so I uploaded it this way.

>>2242239
>>2242239
These are really cute. But yeah, the angle is not letting us see it in all its inky glory.

Here's the prelim for day 5 monsterwaifu since I know a few of you like seeing the sketches. If it starts bugging you folks let me know. Gotta get back to laundry, will begin inking right after.

>>2242280
Day 05. Mermaid. How's everybody's night so far? Seeing a lot of great stuff! Keep it up brethren!

>>2242272
>>2242280
I know you guys are right. it's just a mental thing I guess. 5 or 6 revisions I just feel really crappy about my stuff.

Well anyway here it is head on.

>>2242302
this looks great btw. Just be careful with that left eye. It looks like it's sliding off her face. But yeah great lines

>>2242307
Looks much better

>>2242308
Ooh. Yeah didn't catch that. Thanks for the heads up!

>>2242307
Not bad, The lower legs seem a little thick for the body size, maybe (I'm no expert on fat chicks).

>it's just a mental thing I guess. 5 or 6 revisions I just feel really crappy about my stuff.
That will do that to you. Your figures are reasonably well proportioned, the hands and gestures look natural, your shit is fine, keep it up.

Today's drawing. I love how screentones look on stuff. Those are photoshopped, by the way.

>>2242339
Cool! Reminds me of Anthony Holden's stuff

>>2242348
Thanks! Yeah, I'm a fan of his work since last year. INKtober is a good opportunity to experiment with my inking a lot and drawing different things as well. There's gonna be a lot of similarities, that's for sure.

>>2242240
Hey! Here it is:
http://lm-sarmiento.tumblr.com/
Thanks

>>2241669
Drawing cities in ink is fucking cool.

>>2241472
Ahaha
Maybe the reason it's on the moon is because it can't control where it flies with those mangled wings.

Anyways here's 5th!

Could you guys stop spamming my dashboard? thanks <:^)

>>2242394
What

>>2241456
Day 6 - I spent less time staring at blank paper today. Maybe inktober is working? Too soon to call.

Turns out I like photographing the final drawing more than scanning it...

Looks like 10 solid day 5's + a handful of day 4's - power through the back log to catch up!

>>2241575
>cover an entire page
draw a big box and color it in?

>>2241797
>so many ink magicians
seriously, I don't get out of the alt thread that much, but there are are some decent anons in here...

>>2241838

>>2242140
I must say your animals are significantly better than your people

>>2242219
nice explosions - did you just dive in without an underdrawing?

>>2242459
>nice man, are you joining in on #5 or did you have other inks?

>>2239802 day 3
>>2240758 day 4

Pic related is day 1-2, but I was late in joining the thread
I'm pretty much just using inktober to start building a web comic

>>2242459
>nice explosions - did you just dive in without an underdrawing?

I didi a underdrawing for the major forms.

day 6, quelaag! spider-waifu

>>2242391
Forgot the fucking pic.

>>2242358
thanks , adding to my favorites. nice work

>>2242459
>just curious - do you do these with a ref or from imagination?
I recently purchased a pose catalog off amazon and I've been using that for all of my inktober drawings

Squid you should join in the fun

>>2242751
Probably too busy shitposting on /pol/

cmon squid
dont lose to a a beginner that started 5 months ago

>>2241844
Day 6 is some sort of mermaid thing. I have no idea what I'm doing anymore

Can someone explain their process of ink washes to a complete beginner? I was playing around with it and found it difficult to get the correct tone and each brush stroke seems wildly different to the last. Also, do you load up water before or after (or both) adding the ink to your brush?

you cant heal sexual frustration by hiding yourself mikufag

>>2241868
Day 6

>>2242459
I'm getting worn out, is anyone else feeling the same? I'm doing inktober after work, I get home at 8 so I am a bit knackered

>>2242792
You must mix the ink with the water in a cup. Try it with a small ammount first, a small cup of water, then only one drop of ink. Stir, use your brush and see how it looks on the paper. Drop one more from the ink into the water, stir, try again. You'll notice the shades of grey, you can get to as dark as you want. Try to overlap them on the paper after the last one has dried.

Also, use good thick paper. I think it is best to use at a slight inclination, this helps not forming pools of water over your paper, everything will go slightly down. If you have a thick paper and that inclination, you'll get better control.

You can't load the water and the ink separately onto your brush like that. You can, however, draw with just the water and then touch that water with the ink to produce certain effects.

I like inc

I have many pens that I use a drop of ink with I liked the old feathered pens that use an inkwell.

>>2242459
>I must say your animals are significantly better than your people

Agreed. I can do people vaguely better digitally because I can fix my mistakes but I never construct shit well enough for faces.

>>2236979
>drawing shit from shit game

>>2241797
Day 5. A two parter. Shitty page first.

>>2242894
I've gotta start drawing actual faces again.

I was so tired yesterday I had to take a nap before I posted - I'm the super commute anon with the 8hr day job + 5hr commute. You can double up one day if you are feeling ambitious, then work from a buffer.

Her torso is too long and her dress is rift ing in an unnatural way. Almost like it's ignoring the fact that her legs are not strict down like the upper half of her body. Either way successful day 6 is successful. Just make sure you post this in the new thread bud.
