spider anatomy is not something I ever planned on learning.

>>6870293
Day 2
>Reposting in fresh thread

Day 2. Can you guys read the text or not?

>>6870304
spiders have amazing anatomy once you get past the initial ickiness. They almost seem like machines with how well-engineered they are

>>6870293
Day 1: Dream

Monstober day 2
Hide

How would I have made that effect of spiders better bros?

>>6870366
I feel like the line of spiders should have been more detailed and large as they got closer, which you sort of do as they come over the first hill, but then they suddenly become small and lose and detail as they head back down the hill (inconsistent sizing). So you've poorly simplified the large line of spiders chasing the man (though the spider directly behind the man look good)... or the perspective is very odd.

I think another issue is the line weight. The man, and the hills have really thick line weights, but the spiders' line weight is thin no matter where they are in the image. I think some of the spider should have had thicker weight, and the line should have had more varied line weights throughout.

That's my quick view on it, I'm sure another anon has a better critique than I do.
Anyway, good job doing day two, keep it up Anon!

Day 2

>>6870366
you put 80% more effort into your spider horde then I did, I appreciate it

>>6870293
I only drew one spider and its not ink and its actually a spider/woman type creature

>>6870549
thats fine, we'll add it to the spider-human pile this year

oh shit

posting day 3 in advance, busy morning tomorrow

>>6869566
looks good, keep at it /beg/gar
>>6869566
good looking shadows, very atmospheric
>>6870306
great style, but i dont know the reference...
>>6870341
i can read it. i recognize your colors and crispness from last year. good luck this year
>>6870366
good spiders, extra spider-y
>>6870479
great scene, like the background victims
>>6870481
i like this spiderwoman

oops, shadow comment for >>6869989

Didn't have much time today. Quick sketch

Day 2, Spiders

>>6870293

>tfw I made an Inktober drawing two days in a row for the first time ever

Granted this was mostly graphite, but hey, we're all gonna make it brahs

>>6869336
>kind of reminds me of blame.
No surprise here:
>He was also enormously inspired by Swiss artist H. R. Giger, best known for his airbrush images of humans and machines connected in cold biomechanical relationships.
He should've been familiar with Giger's Shaft series.

>>6869045
day 3: Path
i hate this prompt so much. I just want to draw cute characters, not landscapes or concepts.

>>6869134
Don't get lost

Day 3: Path

>>6870965
>I just want to draw cute characters
Then try to find a way to bend the prompt into what it is you want to draw, sort of like what you did already.
For example, you could have drawn a navigator, or a sherpa, or a creature that blocks the path, etc.

If you draw, I'm sure you're creative enough to work something out... that said, I do hate the prompts too, so whatevs.

>>6870598
>i dont know the reference
It's not a specific reference, more of a pastiche based on the idea of a "spy spider driving a spyder (another term for a convertible roadster)". There's a little James Bond, the shadowy villain is borrowed from Jhn Goodman's character is Arachnophobia.

>>6870665
nice

In Etruscan mythology, the Cetea were regarded as psychopomps, being depicted frequently on sarcophagi and urns, along with dolphins and hippocamps.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geryon
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachne

This got way out of hand. I'm giving up.

>>6871049
It looks pretty neat

Since I'm a cool cat, I'm not taking part in inktober but in the Mab's Drawloween Club.
First day was spooky self-portrait

>>6870718
I like this!
>>6870481
Good work, it would be even better if you took a better picture of it

>>6871049
>>6871058
>>6871070
Looking good

Dip pen is great but you have to wait for some time until the ink has dried enough so you can safely erase the pencil sketch.

>>6871098
beautiful

>>6871058
The hair looks a bit like spiders already

>>6871035
sovlful but use this opportunity to look at pictures of trees
>>6870994
I like your houses. Lots of creativity there!
>>6870723
Nice
>>6870665
It's important to not give up. Even if a day gets a "lazy" drawing you might still end up using the idea in a later drawing.

Boomers rise up!

>>6871098
Awesome!

Day 3

>>6871124
My bad. Here's a smaller res one.

Day 2 was Witch, not really proud of it but I've learned something.
Yeah, I'm late but I'm ill.

Day 2: spiders

I kinda rushed it and looking back if i had more time i should have tried giving it a nice pose instead of going for symmetry

>Try to do Inktober
>Never finish any in one day
>Have 31 unfinished sketches
>Don't post all month

>>6871229
Try caffeine

>>6871229
either post sketches or draw without sketching then

Day3

>>6871229
How long do you draw everyday? Maybe you should try to achieve simpler drawings.

Oh nice thread
Well, here's mine for today

>>6870341
hekatestation-anon, is that you? How do you get your colors to go down so evenly? I'm working on 100lb smooth bristol and the paper seems very "thirsty" and my washes are drying before I can get the whole area done.
>>6870665
>Didn't have much time today.
And in that short amount of time, you have topped off the tank of nightmare fuel! Well done. (I try to work in a few lower-effort ideas in the month simply because I get carried away and fall behind so it lets me catch up somewhat).
>>6870718
I think I'm going to go through the prompts as pixel art--been meaning to practice that and this seems like a brilliant way to do that. Excellent work on this, btw.
>>6871098
Good to see you, cat-anon. Your hatching is on point again this year.

Day 3, Path

>>6870460
thank you very much for your reply, will take it to heart and work harder on improving!
>>6870501
show your work brother, were all learning
>>6870598
thank you, you've got a great aesthetic!

>>6870293
I never posted mine from the other two days

People lied to me, they said inktober was good for growing an account, but your drawings just get drowned out in a sea of shit

>>6870665
Ayy, was looking for another eyeball spider

Day 3: path

It's frustrating, I have sketches ready for each day so far (I'm fairly happy with them too), and I'm rather excited to pop out my ol' brush and ink, but things keep popping up and stopping me from inking my drawings. I have time to do the drawings, but not ink them!

I've gotta ink them soon, or it's going to pile up too much.
Anyway, good work everyone so far, here's hoping for tomorrow.

>>6871573
bro it's like noon at the latest if you're in the US.

>>6871577
>if you're in the US.
Do you think everyone is American? It's past midnight here.

>>6871605
>Do you think everyone is American?
yes. everyone on the internet is an american white male until proven otherwise.

>>6871573
One thing that helps me with the business and time crunch is that it doesn't have to be perfect. Sometimes doing the inkwork quickly allows for intuitive practice and a different style of growth. Best of luck to you anon, even if you just ink one each week, I'm rooting for you!

>>6871573
I lose a lot to get the quality I’m happy with on a day to day basis. I’m lucky, or unlucky depending on your views, that I don’t have kids or pets or other responsibilities during October, but I sacrifice a lot to stay on track
>weekends, drawing and inking
>thanksgiving, drawing and inking
>my birthday, drawing and inking
When I come home I push push push to get progress, but I do start burning out around mid month. My irl job is sporadically really demanding though, so I have to get ahead on hobbies (like inktober) or risk falling behind

I don't know how to ink

Day 3
Prompt: seashell
Passage: But what is that anger hiding?
Ballpoint pen and some paint

I posted this for day 2, he's my favorite boy.

>>6871883
Sea fairies sounds like an interesting concept
Just don't look them up on Google
They may look like angels but they're demons

>tfw not enough asian genes to draw
>tfw not enough aryan genes to write in gothic

Was able to draw more today. Day 3: path

day3 path

>>6871883
where the hell are these prompts coming from?

>>6872085
rabbits bigger than foxes. what world?

>>6872085
Really cool! How long did this take you?

>>6872106
probably like 10-15 hours.. it's a bit smaller than a4

>>6870559
I like this

>>6872079
Awesome.

>>6872094
They’re prompts I did in 2017. I wanted to compare my art and see the improvement. I started sketching a few days ahead before I realized I don’t have the old artwork anymore. :( I kept going with it because I don’t support the guy who does inktober prompts.

>>6872097
Hares can get pretty big, could also be a young fox

>>6872085
This is stunning. I want to eat it and savor it.

>>6872085
Very noice

I had a dentist's appointment today.

Are there more artists than last year? It feels like more.

Run, Conan, run!

day 3 : path

Ran out of my lightest tone marker, so this is it for now lol

>>6870341
day 2

>>6870598
hey I recognize that style anywhere! Good to see your work again this year.

>>6871268
>hekatestation-anon, is that you?
that'd be me
>100lb smooth bristol
sounds about right, I use 125 but i don't think there'd be that much difference. Don't fuck with the wash too much, let the water go where it wants, relinquish control. It's always a race against the clock. If the bristol isn't working for you, try hot press watercolor paper.

>>6872079
>>6872085
whoa, these are incredible! your detail work is just insane.

>>6871024
"spyder", that went right over my head, but i got you now, haha
>>6871442
mine was >>6869336 in last thread

Here's my day 3

Day 3 and 4

Day 3
>Be me
>Need to go with something less complex
>Solution: Simple sewer tunnel
>With bricks
>In perspective
>On a curve
>Oh what the fuck, let's add some color too!
>>6872468
Glad to see you are back! Washes went better on this one. AND the color worked better than I've done before. Do you use a limited palette?
>>6872643
I was trying to be not obvious, but I think I ended up too oblique.

Dodge

path is the hardest fucking prompt, man
I hate drawing landscapes so much

>>6872766
There are other... paths.>>6872193

>>6872710
Extremely based

>>6870366
Day 3, I’d like to thank the anon from yesterday who gave me the line weight tip, it made a difference thank you!

>>6872158
i like u

Digital artist here, what does inktober indicate? Just a traditional drawing I assume...

>>6872816
Ink.

>>6872816
inktober was originally about drawing, with ink or something? but thats just a guess

struggled a bit with path + paladin and got a late start

>>6872816
Give ink a shot! I'm sure you have a pen and paper in your house.

>>6872816
"Inktober" as just a word to tell people " Draw in oktober" only autists on 4chan made it to be " DRAW WITH INK ON PAPER REEEE"

Just draw in whatever style you want daily according to the theme

>>6872863
I do inktober in digital just to spite the autists

>>6872863
>on 4chan
The autists extend beyond 4chan, but yeah ultimately it's
>just draw

Ink is nice, but not necessary.

heres mine for tomorrow, day 4
man, lots of artists this year

>>6870665
perfectly unnerving
>>6870723
its so weird, super gory but googley eyed spider in the topleft
>>6871049
knowing when to stop is super important
>>6871070
i really like how you drew the portrait
>>6871098
yeah, i use nib and ink too. love how black it is. trying a new nib this year, but struggling with it a bit
>>6871347
very pretty path, nice hatching
>>6871668
gotta start somewhere, keep going
>>6871883
i like your expressions
>>6872085
everyone else already said it, but this is really spectacular
>>6872234
haha, i love conan stuff
>>6872710
this is great, really funny!

>>6872863
You could just say what you think it should be without pretending that everyone agrees with you and that everyone who disagrees with you is a bad person.

>>6872918
It doesn't matter if you agree with him, he's factually correct. Inktober is divorced from the ink requirement and has been for years.

>>6872923
Says who?

From the current website:

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

>2) Post it*

>3) Hashtag it with #inktober and #inktober2023

>4) Repeat

It even has a tutorial for inking. https://inktober.com/how-to-ink

Inktober is, unsurprisingly, about INK. There's a reason why nobody is asking "Hey, is working in ink allowed in Inktober? Or is it just digital?"

>>6872931
>Says who?
>From the current website:
Getting really tired of this same fucking argument.

>>6872935
>no less valid
>please don't bully them
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

>>6872939

>>6872935
Oh and this directly contradicts the guy who you said was "factually correct", who claimed that "autists" made it about ink when it was originally about just drawing. But hey, sorry you had to be let into the club with special concessions. Must suck. Maybe you'll get your own digital month one of these days, or maybe you'll even get over your allergy to physical reality.

>>6872948
Holy shit shut the fuck up. No one cares. You aren't going to convince digitfags that they don't belong. They won't convince you that they do. Just stop.

>>6872806
Cozy vibes. Me gusta.

The barrier to entry is drawing on paper with a pen, which I have personally been doing since I was two years old, and this is the glass ceiling which needs to be shattered to give month-long drawing challenges to the poor masses with their thousand dollar tablets, and all who claim that the inktober is better done in ink is literally hitler.

>>6872961
Of course they belong. They have hands, eyes, paper, and pens in their houses. But they're so sick that they think that if they're not allowed to work digitally in "ink"tober then they are being oppressed.

>>6872968
see
>>6872875

I will never so inktober with ink again just to spite (you).

It seems the real debate that’s going on is if one is judged as bad by doing inktober digitally and one is judged as good by doing inktober with ink mediums. I suppose each anon has to seek their own answer. I have mine.

>>6872989
It seems the real debate that's going on is if this thread is going to be predominantly about sharing daily drawings with each other to improve our skills or if its going to be just another thread where people screech and shit at each other over their keyboards. I suppose each anon has to seek their own answer. I have mine.

yeah I'm doing autistic-shitpostober

Day 3, Path

>1 month into learning how to draw
>think "wow this inktober thing will be a good way to force myself to learn to create my own pieces"
>try it
>it turns out horribly
i think this was a bigger blow to my self esteem than anything else i've done

>>6873056
>1 month drawing experience
>isn’t automatically a fucking genius
>self esteem: DESTROYED
ngmi

>>6873056
I'm 8 years in and I still feel this way. Then I look at anons here who have been drawing for only 2-3 years and they can draw circles around me. Their drawings are more creative and appealing, and also fundamentally more structural.

Sometimes I think there's just a limit to how good some people can get

I kinda want to say fuck intober prompts and just draw my own things. The official prompts are boring as hell.

>>6873086
it's a game to make it interesting. Wish it was more halloween oriented though

>>6873029
I understood the joke.

>>6872989
One group is capable of doing inktober as intended. The other campaigned to have their medium recognized as 'legitimate' and 'valid' in the rules because they are seemingly incapable of doing inktober as intended.

I'm going to participate this month. But I will be doing it digitally and in color. Also, I will not use the prompts and just draw whatever I feel like. I will probably only draw every couple of days though. Can't wait to participate in Inktober. It sounds so fun!

>>6870293

>>6872931
So what am I supposed to do now?
Not draw for a month?
Just cause some snob told me that I can't do it digitally

>>6873196
That's correct. No one is allowed to draw in October unless it's done with ink and on paper.

>>6873198
I'll do it anyway just out of spite for you snobs

>>6872465
really like this one
>>6872851
gob paladin - cool

Third day was "werecat", so I made an Olmec shaman in a werejaguar pose.

>>6873196
Are you locked in a padded cell with no pens, lest you stab yourself with one out of spite for the guards?

>>6873203
Wow, you really showed me. Gonna draw all of your Loomis heads with the mouth on the equator line out of spite, too? Buncha snobs say the brow goes there.

>>6872878
really like this
feeling the seasonal vibe

>>6872079
>>6872085
These are awesome!
>>6872465
This looks great! I'm envious of your mountain
>>6873222
Great color on this one

Day 4: Dodge

>>6871107
Thanks, I try to do something different every day

>>6873195
Day 4

prompt: Sacrifice

>>6873425
VOID TENANTS WOOO

Scott-sensei I have failed you

>>6871474
If you wanna draw do inktober, if yiu want likes and followers bitch like everyone else on social media #relatable shit is always gonna get more likes than art but it shouldn’t stop you from drawing

>>6873425
Great. Love the tile/light effect

Nice to see so many familiar styles this year from last year. I've got to sit out this year as I've gone down the fiber arts black hole yhis month and am hand stiching a bunch of things, but I enjoy the hell out of seeing your posts! Best of luck to you all.

>>6873056
If you stick with it and make yourself finish a piece each day (even the bad ones) I guarantee you will see improvement. Doubly so since you're starting out. Don't be afraid to get outside your comfort zone, and push the boundaries of what you feel is your ability...you might suprise yourself.

>>6872691
This line of thinking is a trap, and it's one that I always fall into. Next thing I know it's 1am and I'm scanning my "30 minute" drawing that I started at 7pm before I get my 4 hours of sleep on a work day. Totally worth it though.

Day 4, Dodge

Looks like ass but it's still much better than I could've done when I started doing more "realistic" art.

Captcha: ARTKWG

what the fuck do I draw for dodge
I swear this faggot just picks words at random with no thought put into them at all.

>>6873926
same
I think I will go with the photo manipulation meaning of the term

>>6873926
draw a Dodge Viper; but yes it's probably the worst prompt of the month

>>6873926
it’s funny, “dodge” came to me pretty quick, but I wound up really scratching my head on “golden”, which should have been arguably easier

>>6873926
maybe you should dodge the prompt and draw something completely different

>>6874005
>golden
>as a prompt for inktober
does this just confirm that they don't give a shit about ink anymore?

>>6874059
>not taking up the challenge to draw different surfaces with just black and white
ngmi

>>6874075
gold doesn't have a unique texture. There's nothing to differentiate gold from any other metal if there are no colors.

>>6874081
for you

I feel like this isn't a very good prompt, but then I'm not a very good artist, so I guess that works out.

>>6874081
>fields of wheat
>the morning sun
>doubloons
>a certain breed of dog called a “shiny and highly conductive metallic element” retriever
you gotta step out of the box youve built up in your mind

>>6874081
Gold looks more shiny. Also gradients mah dood. KEK, HE DOESN`T KNOW.
>>6874085
This guy gets it.

>>6874098
it doesn’t need to be a masterpiece to get the point across, i understood pretty quickly what hes doing

>>6870965
day 4: dodge

I HATE THESE PROMPTS BROOO
i don't want to draw complicated situations involving movement and weird perspectives. I just wanna get a prompt i can use to draw a cute character. For that, I give you a badly drawn Dodge Charger and you're gonna like it.

>>6871007
All of those require specific landscapes and movements and perspectives. I don't want to draw a composition dawg.

>>6874106
>can't draw
>wants to draw
>refuses to learn to draw
?

>>6874107
Couldn`t say it better myself anon. So yeah >>6874106

yeah? so you should be able to tell from this picture which of these rings are gold.

>>6874106
>hates drawing movement
>day 3 drawing includes an arrow to easily convey movement
i don’t understand

>>6874117
oh fuck
INK IS FINISHED
I repeat
INK IS FINISHED
IT'S AN INFERIOR MEDIUM

>>6874119
i hate that drawing as well, was that supposed to be a gotcha? If so, then you failed, pathetically. tsk.

>>6874120
ink is fine, inktober prompts are just absolute shit and have been for years. I wouldn't be surprised if jake parker just uses a word generator to fill in every space.

>>6874117
1, 3, and 6

>>6874138
there were only 2 gold rings.

>>6874117
>if i can’t physically see it in living breathing color, how can i tell what it is?!
youre like a living embodiment of a jaden smith tweet
if you’re really so trapped in the idea of needing it to be irrefutably something golden with all the concept of “imagination” and “interpretation” sucked out of it, then just draw
>bunch of circles
>bunch more circles attached to the circles
>its a gold atom
you must be really boring at parties…

>>6874145
pretty sure it's 3 check again

>>6874148
I'm concerned that you know what a jaden smith tweet is like.
it's just a shit prompt list. jakey won't suck your dick for defending him. he probably didn't even come up with it himself

>>6874148
>a gold atom
Fuck I might just do that.
My other plan is to go buy some gold-colored ink.

>>6874166
It would be funny in a tongue in cheek kind of way
If you really want to get your point across you could draw an atom using gold ink

>>6874150
anon I promise you it was only 2.

>>6874188
9, 7, 15, 2 i've alredy done this one before ez

The prompts are all terrible as every year but this is getting autistic, anon. Please stop.

>>6874224
no

No you.

It's over..

All my life I've been led to believe there were FI-I-I-VE GOLDEN R-I-I-I-INGS!

>>6874440

Can't improve without trying stuff out.

>Draw ahead of day.
>Just inked day 4
Anywho, have day 3: Path —

>>6874534
And day 4.

Gonna do some abstraction for the map: day 5

>That shot of the knockoff microns tho.

>>6874536
Last thing to add, day 3 is technically incomplete; wanted to do the shadows I did on day 4 for 3.

Day 4. Started out doing the car chase from Bullitt but much like >>6873443, I couldn't bear the idea of letting Scott down. So, I started over and went with the "Dodge City" idea...

>>6874005
>I wound up really scratching my head on “golden”
there is gold ink and gold metallic pens

>>6874563
I draw only in black and white.
I put a few extra limits on myself during Inktober, cause I find I come up with some neat ideas if I do

Golden-ratio! shit I'm a genius... feel free to steal my idea.

>>6874588
Golden Gate Bridge
Golden Girls
On Golden Pond (or it's NSFW version: On Golden Blond)
Gold Medal
And so on and so on and so on

It's nice seeing a fellow PoE appreciator out in the wild
You should post that to Reddit, if you care for that.

Eyes remind me of Egg of the world from Berserk

>>6870306
any socials? I like your style!

>>6874609
no that's impossibru you can't do it without colorrrrr

Day 4
Prompt: wind
Passage: What does anger cover?
Ballpoint pen

>>6872691
Worth it tho. Awesome stuff, love the color and the vibes.

day 4

>>6874569
It can be done.

>>6874698
Could use a little bit more contrast. But yeah, pretty standard stuff. It's not like nobody has drawn gold before.

>>6874698
exactly, lots of ways to draw stuff and still get your point across

>>6874698
Cool tutorial on drawing silver/platinum

>>6874744
>you can only draw grey things with pen

>>6874759
dont feed the trolls

>>6874759
the point was there's nothing to differentiate between gold, silver, or platinum without color or some kind of marking indicating what it is.

...is picrel supposed to be your example? because i feel like those could be any shiny metal/color. You just know it's gold because you know bullets are golden/yellow IRL.

>>6874780
Shell casings aren't all brass, they can be nickel, steel, or even coated.

>>6874744
Checked and kek'd but seriously, if the lack of color is the obstacle there are ways around it.

>>6874773
>>6874780
It's an artistic philosophy renaissance. They've just now thought to ask "how does one know what color a subject depicted in monochrome is?" We're making great strides here, people.

>>6874793
it's sad people don't know I'm memeing
if you want to go full autism though, gold bars (and rings, and basically anything made of gold) is stamped with some kind of identifier.

>>6874780
>You just know it's gold because you know bullets are golden/yellow IRL.
that applies to all black and white art. you guess the colors based on IRL knowledge. if the prompt was red and someone drew an apple you would assume its a red apple not green or yellow.

>>6874809
I would assume space marines would use something other than brass desu. probably steel cased shit ammo.

jesus fuck you guys will argue about anything

day 4

>>6872691
nice day 3, you pulled off that sense of space really well
>Do you use a limited palette?
I like to use complimentary color pairs and a lot of unmixed pigments straight from the bottle... feel like ive been stagnating on color for ages though... think need some color studies from life to really improve

>>6873425
got anywhere I could see more of your work? this is fantastic.

didnt ink, just sketched today. glad i got ahead
holy hell, what happened today. i was gone ONE DAY and EVERYTHING goes to shit, haha

lol day four

Day 4

Day 3, Route.

had two ideas for this but half assed both of em
i need to start putting in more effort into trying to put what's in my mind into the sheet

>>6874961
I have never tried, and probably never will, attempt something like this. (at least not without a ruler) Kudos to you

I put a doge in a dodge so he can dodge while he doge

>>6874428
Cool. Is this all digital, or just the explosion?

>>6874657
Yes I take these eyes as reference

Day 4, Dodge.

Pretty rushed, but oh well.

>>6875082
The explosion, half his face and some of his clothes are digital. They were initially trad but I spilled ink everywhere on the page by accident

>>6874853

Ah, the joys of traditional materials.
I think it end result is nice, at least.

Easily my best one yet, because I wasn't overly ambitious with this one.

Day 5, Map
Your average "Which way do we go?" group shot.

>>6875759
Image fell off, I guess

>>6875761
I originally had a similar idea, but ended up with the physical map on a table.
Good job anon! I like it.

Day 5
Prompt: strawberry
Passage: What is the need your are trying to meet?
Ballpoint pen and a little paint

>five drawings in
>already severly burned out and sleep deprived
Bros...

>guys makes challenge about building good habits
>artists: >>6875833

man, fuck this prompt

>>6875863
I was just thinking the same thing. I wonder what the correct way to approach this is, to make drawings you can be proud of every day, while also not destroying yourself.

>>6875872
>>6875863
>>6875833

Map
I'm actually happy with this, even if the perspective is warped to hell and back.

>>6875833
Sometimes it do be like that.

Honest question for the people putting out the really detailed high quality stuff:
Is art your profession? Is that why you’re able to spend extra time on drawings?
If not, how are you able to put out high quality drawings while also balancing your IRL job? Do you try to do daily prompts, or do you just spend time on the ones that look most fun?

>>6876040
why don't you quote specific posts that you're referring to?

>>6876040
A few of my friends who are professional illustrators only ever did Inktober once and then stopped because it was too stressful for them.

>>6875833
>work all day
>get home at 10
>work on prompt till 3
the grind never stops

>>6876040
I do not sleep very much.

>>6876053
NTA but
>>6872085
this one was kinda mind boggling good
also im guessing it was done in the course of two days because 10-15 hours in a single day sounds like madness

>>6876040
First you have to ask what you mean by professional. My definition is that if you get paid to do it, you're a professional. Others will say you're a professional if the money you make sustains your living. I get paid for my art but not enough to sustain my living.

I am an abstract painter and with these nature inspired prompts I am putting out more finished detailed work than I normally do while also practicing female anatomy. >>6875781

I think what helped is spending a few hours one day before October sketching a couple of the prompts beforehand. Then whenever I feel like drawing throughout the day I make sure I'm sketching or doodling one of the prompts. I'm up to day 17 with the sketches. When each day comes and goes, I make sure to ink the day's prompt and post it. This way I am drawing every day with ink while not putting pressure on myself to do the creative process from start to finish in the few hours and/or brain cells I may or may not have that particular day.

Another thing that's helped is to not try so hard. To give myself room to half-ass or not line something perfectly or have master draftsman quality figures. I'd like to have that, but that's not where my skill level is at right now so I practice not judging myself or my art and produce what is happening right there in the moment.

And something that keeps me in the space of drawing without being distracted by ADHD is to listen to an audiobook. I'm currently listening to "The Body Keeps The Score" by Bessel van der Kolk. It's very technical heavy with data and statistics as well as scientific study stories. I'm able to focus on what I'm drawing for myself that way. I think my art would be different if I listened to a story book so keep that in mind, the subconscious is always awake and taking artistic creative information from around us. So you have to know yourself or learn about yourself in the process. It's something new I found this inktober and I'm grateful. Hope that helps.

Isometric perspective is the easiest one with not much to learn. But it looks kinda sophisticated.

day 4 (late) - ranger + dodge

Not posting today, got a lashing at my job and just don’t have the motivation for art

>>6876575
I'll give you a lashing if you don't draw.

>>6876575
I just had to help with putting restraints on a mad patient in the psychiatric ward I'm working in and yet I'm still drawing and so should you.

>>6876529
It's harder to do once you've done other perspective stuff. I kept moving toward an eyeballed two-point instead of keeping lines parallel. And then kicking myself because it should be easier (or so I thought)

>>6874853
day 5, low effort easy day... but apparently I cant draw rectangles

>>6874867

Catching up.

last day im going to be keeping up with daily posts this year, i think. irl life has gone south, need to shift focus to it. good luck everyone!

this is great, excellent proportions and detailing

Very exhausting but it's done. I'm already feeling the strain. But with 12 hour shifts life is terrible already even without drawing sometimes.

>>6876764
You're an inspiration to us all, cat guy.

>>6876784
No, I'm terrible at this.
But I love you guys and how we're in this purgatory together.

>>6874672
Thank you, but not really on the socials. I have an Instagram account but all it has are the Inktober posts from last year and this year. I've been meaning to do more, but life (and self-doubt) gets in the way.
>>6874688
Thanks! I like how it turned out, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't more accidentally cool than intentional. (But more intentional than stuff I've done in the past).
>>6874853
>complimentary color pairs
It works really well in your pieces. Color has always scared the shit out of me.
>>6874867
>i dont know nothing about dodge city
Other than it being an Old West town, that's about it. Glad you like it! This may seem like odd praise, but I like how your pieces work in thumbnail and full size. I see a lot in other threads that look really good as thumbnails but fall apart in full size.
>>6874881
I like the stylized color here. (But how did it get on the island!?)
>>6874961
Superb hatching!
>>6875188
I can't put my finger on it, but these are really appealing to me. Not sure if it's the hatching or the use of negative space. Great stuff

>>6875403
Clever! I love these.

Day 6, Golden (Axe)
>>6875763
Thanks!

This was actually kind of a pain. The gold glitter ink is difficult to work with. It doesn't want to stay as a colloid, so you constantly need to stir it, or you don't get a steady consistency. It's also not resistant to rubbing, so I couldn't do a pencil underdrawing. I did one on separate paper under the one I was drawing on, but it wasn't really visible. If I did this again, I'd see if I could jury-rig an old tablet into a crude light table.
Also, as you can see, my hands just aren't steady enough for drawing freehand chemistry diagrams. I just hope I didn't fuck up the number of electrons. There should be 79.

New thread when?

Can't believe no one drew Giorno Giovanna for today. I was going to do it, but decided not to because of how obvious it was. Turns out nobody thought of it.

Day 6 Golden, which I didn’t over detail the goose had to colour the features to contrast the white feathers. You live and you learn.

>>6878160
nice!

Trying to catch up. Doing Inktober plus Gobtober.

>>6878160
Yeah, it's hard to know what to detail and what to simplify sometimes... but you went way too overboard on the feathers lol
Then again you could just white it all out.

Good entry anyways, love the concept and you almost nailed the execution. Thumbnail looks great

day 6 : gold
