How big is inktober on instagram? Last year on tumblr and DA I hardly got any notes for it at all.

I don't know if it's up your alley, but I like using my Platinum Preppy Pen. It's a cheap fountain pen (around $4) that makes nice thin lines. I'm not sure if it's waterproof, though, since I use Micron pens when I'm working with water.

I agree with >>3132302 that brush pen has amazing line variety and great ink flow. If you haven't used brush pens before something like the Pentel Touch or Zebra brush pens would be much easier to use thanks to their harder tips.

You can also try using Kuretake Zig pens. Super cheap, great for consistent lines.

Have you tried the Pentel BP? Quality wise it's like night and day. Copic is a great company but their brush pens are poor quality, fraying quickly, barely any line variety. You'd be better off using a thin marker instead. I wouldn't recommend them over Pentel.

What those anon are saying is that there's no way of knowing that you're posted drawing is legit by word unless you somehow post a video of the date and time or live stream your drawing. Of course, if you're a person who has a good rep and can be trusted, it helps too. Not that those anon know anything about that.

I get it, it just doesn't work for me. Part of my process is to put lines down and then work over them again to refine the forms. Not only can I not do that in the same way with traditional ink, but if I'm worried about ruining the image, it produces a tighter and more lifeless design. I don't think this will go away for me, it's just my personality.

I tried Inktober last year but I really fucked myself up because 1 I was fucking awful at art in general compared to now, and 2 I kept trying to have an actual, finished, presentable piece instead of just having fun with it.

Also I'm glad to see the Pentel Pocket Brush getting its praise in this thread. I have the gray-tube that feels like it's made of rubber or something, though but I see most other people have a black tubed, more solid looking one. Is there a notable difference? My local shops don't have the black tubes and I feel like I don't have such amazing control with mine. Was going to get a g-pen next but if the gray Pentel pen is significantly lower quality than the black one then I'll hold off on the g-pen for now.

I'm guessing you're referring to the Pentel Color Brush. I have both. The color brush (assuming you have the medium one, black cap = medium, grey cap = extra fine) has a bigger brush, and mine, at least, comes to a sharper point. The color brush has blacker, more viscous ink, and you can control how wet the brush gets by squeezing it. The PBP has a smaller brush, grayer ink, and the brush stays a lot wetter than the color brush. It's totally rigid and you can't squeeze it to change the brush wetness. Honestly I get a lot more control over line width and wetness with the color brush. I like the PBP more simply because it's easier to refill the cartridges with a syringe plus fountain pen ink, and it's much smaller and lighter when you don't post the cap on the end.

Peter Han made some instructional videos about the color brush pen for svslearn that some anon has here: https://mega.nz/#F!JKYEgSBD!McbMi1DCKRVMbIgO25x5Hw (torrented unsorted > peter han)

>>3134544
Staedtler Triplus Fineliners: inexpensive, the nibs feel relatively soft and springy for their size. Dye based ink, but you can leave them uncapped for days without them drying up.
Sharpie Pens: different from the markers. Permanent waterproof ink that is slightly grey. Much cheaper to buy a dozen on Amazon, but a 2-pack is $4.
Ultra-Fine Sharpies: permanent alcohol ink, flows like crazy. Terrible for details, but they're super wet and fill pages with ink quickly. 2-pack = $1.77. Much cheaper by the dozen.
Papermate Flairs: Felt-tipped, much more resistance when drawing, which isn't always a bad thing. Very good line variation, very black dye-based ink, tips last until the ink runs out. $3 for a 2-pack, $6 for a dozen on Amazon (which Wal-Mart will price match).

Those are the cheap ones I can recall Wal-Mart having. I'd recommend the Staedtler Fineliners the most. I think a 6-pack is $8, and they have packs of colored ones around here too.

I did it last year and it was great, we had an /ic/ thread and I think only about 4 people finished all the way out of like 50 who started. It's a real endurance test.

What are your thoughts about using digital "inks" for inktober? As in doing digital lineart drawings rather than using actual inks?

Jake Parker is a marketing pro. He does complete drawings like the one in the link, then copies it "live" in a YouTube video and spews all the shit about drawing freehanded so that he comes off as way better than he really is.

All these guys who sell tutorials and motivation for a living are masters of misdirection and marketing. They made me quit believing in art instruction and the job industry as a whole... they teach you how to enter a job market when you are really the market and they're exploiting you.

Look at all this negativity. In such short time faggots found many excuses why no one should participate in a simple drawing challenge.

I'm so excited. I've got like 4 bottles of ink I haven't used in a few weeks. I love dip pens, fountain pens, brushes.... Everything about October is exciting and this is one of the things that really gets me excited. I love October through the end of December. Everything goes by so fast and everyone seems to be much more positive and hyped

I've never understood the point of calling it a "challenge". It exists as viral marketing for its creator's blog and portfolio. If the challenge is in not being able to erase then just as well call it "Paintober" or "etchasketchober". Or just draw pencil normally but... gasp... don't erase

People who treat drawing in ink as a badge of honor and inktober as a right of passage are cringe af desu. The people doing it digitally are in the right, simply on the merit of undermining this nonsense art meme month (that is, again, just viral marketing that someone else is getting paid off of)

It's way easier to commit to a finished drawing a day when someone else gives you the idea.

It also adds to the community aspect since you can compare your work to others and see how you interpreted the same prompts.

I totally understand you. It got me into smoking weed because of it's creativity booster aspect.

The best way to solve that problem is by:

-Expanding your memory library by drawing from references.

-Try drawing inspiration from books, movies, music, ...
>pun intended

-Drawing everyday. Even if you can't come up with anything you can scribble on a paper, try to make interesting shapes out of the result
and then go on from there.

And (just in case you're also in a similar situation) go outside. I didn't know how much I underestimated something as simple as going for a walk.

Am I the only one trying to make clean confident lines without undersketch?
I feel like if I sketch first and then ink over it my line strokes lose speed and confidence and look much less dynamic.
I do few sketches on separate paper first though to make the general concept of what I wanna draw.

When you don't have an underdrawing you're drawing with ink. When you have an underdrawing you're tracing.

You just need more practice. It's easier to learn to draw with ink over a pencil drawing than it is to learn to draw perfectly with zero guidelines.

Really varies from artist to artist. From what I've reads lately (and thats not alot sadly), its either shaded with copics or added later on digital.

Well right now I waste a huge amount of time chickenscratching shit out then tracing over "the perfect line" with pen, rather than thinking carefully about where lines and forms should go before I put them down. It still looks "okay" to untrained eyes because I end up erasing all the underlying shit pencil scratches so it looks like there's a single good line in ink there
So I guess maybe? it'll help me think before I place confident lines and overall planning of the sketch more than just splattering huge amounts of lead on the page and then digging out the best fit, because that doesn't happen in ink

You know what? Fuck the "chicken scratching" maymays. It's so sad to see newbs like you getting taken by that.

Line confidence will come along naturally the more you draw, it's a passive ability. Like learning to breath, learning to run.

Training that shit is only worth it once you've already mastered your fundies knowledge. Perfect lines are like the glaze on a cake, an embellishing aura for your drawing. But if your art isn't that good to begin with what's the point of making good lines? Pros do train that though, for they already have mastered their fundamentals. So please, come back to the light side.

To build on this idea, I think you may be overdoing your undersketch if you're literally tracing when you ink. You can use a rough pencil sketch to block in the general form without also drawing in all of the detail. I recently saw a video that was about this idea, so maybe this will help you:
