I don't really understand the wankery of doing your own prompts
I get it if you are doing kink, and using the official prompts to give it a spin, that's fair and good
But there's a lot of retards that just plain do their own prompts and that's like
whatever fag, what's the point if you are making the prompt
May as well just draw instead of making your list of stuff you want to draw

Yes, and your shitty non prompted work can drown on the sea of other stuff posted any other day, like every other day
You think it's something arbitrary, but it's actually a great idea to plain follow the prompts: people searching for the prompt/day will outpust similar results, and your stuff is more likely to be seeing by other people
Repeating prompts, and similar tags, will also cause your stuff to be relevant or may be seen by one fucking year apart!
But yu people are too retarded

Do Bubbletober and draw 31 color prompts if you want

I've never understood why you would enter this, but do so digitally? The entire purpose is for it to be done traditionally. It's like getting a participation trophy, but you didn't even participate, but were just part of the audience watching.
Like it's absolutely fine to work digitally with the prompts, or use it as an opportunity to do something similar, but why claim you've done 'inktober' when you didn't work in INK?

Anyway, I'll give it a go. It's been a long while since I've done anything in ink, though my inking brush has probably gone to shit. I've also got some nibs I've been meaning to try out.
I'll probably only do simple smaller drawings rather than put any huge effort into them though.

Sure, through the use of traditional media drawn in ink. It's INKtober, not whatever-you-feel-like-tober.
Just because the original organiser is a wimp who meekly said "y-y-yeah, digital is fine too", doesn't mean it really is. You don't get to use a motorcycle in a running marathon just because you want to, and you shouldn't be able to claim you've completed a traditional drawing challenge (and again, that IS what it is, because it's called INK-tober, and that's how it started) by doing digital.

I'm perfectly happy with people doing the prompts digitally, I just don't like them claiming they actually did Inktober when they didn't...
But maybe I'm being autistically pedantic about it.

Words have meaning. Like I said, you can't have a "running marathon" and then only say that running was a 'suggestion' and use a motorcycle.
A challenge is a challenge because of it's restrictions. If the prompts are only suggestions, and the medium is only a suggestion, and you don't actually have to draw everyday... then what ARE the restrictions for inktober? What is the challenge?

But like I said, I'm probably being pedantic about it.
I'm going to try for the actual traditional challenge, people can do as they like otherwise.

>>6859458
Doing ink or digital has no meaning for me, but people actually doing the original prompt is paramount to the social game
Trends are an objective reality on social media, denying that is being a contrarian faggot
Multiple people posting the same topic creates a trend
Trend gives exposition
I can challenge myself without the need to post it on social media, if I do inktober, is for the clout
having the stance of "I'll do inktober, and tell noone!" is being a faggot contrarian and doesn't actually happens.
From my pov (which is the correct one, of course) do ink or digital, it doesn't matter. But do the original prompts

I’m going to do one I did in 2017, picrel. I didn’t finish the last few prompts so I’ll add a few of my own. I tried to do the same in 2019, but I only got 2 finished rip. I want to see my progress over the years so this is how I choose to do it. I’m going to start sketching them now. I know it kind of defeats the whole “make a habit” idea but with ADHD there’s really no such thing especially since habits have a 100% remission rate for us. :’) Gotta show up for myself in ways that work for me and I encourage others to do the same. There are no rules except the ones we make up.

>I thought inktober was for trad only
The way I see it, doing inktober is really about challenging yourself rather than a competition with others, etc. I think the trad works are more impressive because you can't undo or modify your marks once you've made them, so you learn to be more deliberate with each one. That said, if someone does digital they still have to come up with an idea and realize it in a compressed timeline, so there's value to that as well. I'd just say not as much as if you are using a less forgiving medium on top of it. But there are some on this board that are diehard trad-only inktoberists.

I don't think so. I think so long as you have the 31 drawings at the end, and they're made within the month (give or take a little), it's all good.
Personally I'm planning to knock out the drawings for a few days on the first day, and then ink them on the appropriate days, rinse & repeat. Otherwise I feel like it'll interrupt my schedule.

We're talking about INK-tober correct?
Are the prompts also optional?
If so, and you're just drawing whatever you want, however you, how is that a challenge? Just because the creator of inktober is a faggot who backed down and caved in to digi-nazis, and now allows digital, doesn't change the fact it's stupid.

Do the prompts digitally if you want, but you can hardly say you did the inktober challenge.

>A brush pen is not like other pens. The tip is made of individual hairs like a delicate watercolor brush. The ink flows from a well in the shaft down into its bristles, patiently waiting to be released into the fibers of a sheet of paper. Unlike ballpoint or technical pens, it requires very little pressure to make a line. A tender lick with the pen on the page can produce a sufficient mark. Press too hard and the line becomes hulkish and coarse exposing the ham handedness of the artist. The pen challenged me, yet I was eager to bring this unwieldy tool to heel. It required the hand of a surgeon to make the kind of lines I was used to making with other pens. The more I experimented, the more I realized the pen had benefits waiting for me to unlock.

While the majority of the fun is obviously just doing the drawing, I do think there's a thrill from comparing what you did with with the prompt, to what others did with it.
So if no one is doing the 'monstergarden' inktober, then neither will I, even if the actual Inktober prompt list is dull as shit.

While you're not wrong, the only part that is cringe of Inktober variations is when people do less than one drawing a day.

I had, but I had to mull over each one for some time to squeeze an interesting idea out of it. Meanwhile the other prompt list inspired me with like 10 exciting ideas per prompt.

For example - for dreams I went through the obvious of someone just dreaming and sleeping, then went to dream monsters, actual dreams I had, that guy who appears in your dreams (y'know the one), this one idea I kinda liked of having a happy average family man in the thought bubble of a homeless man or drunkard...

But honestly none of these are as fun as even basic bitch answers for "sacrifice", and that's just the first prompt.

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 1 13:52:12 2023 No.6867210 Yeah, the prompts are dull as always but they get my mind going into places and I try to make something unique from it. I dislike lists with overly specific stuff like monster lists etc.

It was supposed to be a landwhale, because when I was a kid, my neighbor was a mentally unhinged lardass, who was the kind to use a scooter to get around.

She would go off screaming about anything, so I used to get nightmares about her screaming at me, falling out of her scooter, and, crushing me to death.

As clean as you can reasonably make it, emphasis on "reasonably". If you're a depressed permabeg who struggles to even pick up a pen, then it's enough for your goal to be to draw every day and finish the whole thing. If that sounds trivial, then do it better.

I usually sketch lightly with a pencil first. If I'm just doodling a detail, like an eye or something, I don't bother with the pencil. But at least laying down some rough shapes so you know where you are is nice. Actually, one thing that's really fun is to lay down ruled/compassed lines with pencil that are perfectly straight, and then follow them imperfectly with pen so you get some nice texture in the outline, but the form still looks consistent. But yeah, do it a couple of different ways with the intention to mess up and draw badly, and then give it a shot with the intention to make it look good.

I mean, look at that vitriol, because I think INKtober should be about traditional pen & INK drawing. I don't even care that much, you're the one who started talking shit out of the blue, so you're the one who is obsessed, I just responded.

I'm gonna use colored ink later just because I can, because I can work in color and still clearly be doing Inktober, instead of needing to restrict myself to black and white to pretend I'm doing Inktober while I'm digitally painting.

Prompt: maple leaf
Passage: oh how much you’ve changed.
Ballpoint pen with paint because I don’t have any ink coloring tools. Shrug I can’t afford to even buy crayola markers.

I’m liking everyone’s artworks so far, really amazing to see. The extent of my imagination currently is nude women because I can’t draw clothes so I appreciate the diversity here.

I was originally planning on comparing my 2017 inktobers to see the difference and improvement but it seems like I burned them all in 2021. I had posted them on Instagram but my account got perma deleted in 2020 with no chance to contest so there’s no evidence except my memory.
Kinda disappointed about all that but I’ll keep going.

If you walked into a dance hall, and half the people weren't dancing, and instead were hunched over on the floor gnawing their feet off, don't you suppose you would try to get them to stop, or at the very least try to figure out what is going on?
Does drawing with a pen on paper hurt or something? What kind of weak person are you, that you can't just pick up a pen and draw on a piece of paper to participate in this thing you wanted to participate in? Are you incapable of doing it?

Your analogy makes no sense because doing it digitally doesn't hurt them like gnawing your feet off does. A better analogy would be that they dance with full body tracking in VRChat instead of dancing in real life.
Fundamentally digital painting and traditional share the core principles of visual art, they are much more similar than they are different. There were never any strict rules about Inktober. Even if they were, people can do their own version of it to suit their materials, tastes and goals. You're like a kid that gets mad if everyone else doesn't play along to rules for a game that you made up.

>insecure
It's not that we're insecure, it's that we're disappointed participation isn't held to a higher standard. I like ink art, I like seeing more of it, I like knowing more people are learning it, because I think it's useful for becoming a better artist. Inktober not being about ink anymore is very disappointing, and it's upsetting that so many people are so confrontational about it, and will actually fight to make it legitimate to do digital in an event named after ink, and insult and belittle ink artists for preferring the event be about ink. Ink artists wanting the event to be about ink is an absolutely defensible, reasonable position, that hurts no one. So why do people get so mad about it, when they could peacefully participate simply by drawing with a pen, which costs nothing and is useful to your skillset as an artist?

Undo isn't even the biggest problem. Being able to resize, move, and rotate elements, and turn any "finished" layer into another guide layer to draw on top of, totally removes the need to work decisively. Decisiveness is very important in art. Twitch twice, and you're lost. Twitch once and you've got it made.

I worked in digital for years, and still do when making textures for 3D models. I switched to mainly working in traditional because I find I get better control, being able to work with the materials there in my hands, and so much of "high" digital is about replicating traditional anyway, with brushes and textures and stuff. In addition to pen drawings, I do oil painting, and watercolor, and dabble in charcoal, and both digital modeling and physical sculpting.

I see you just want people do participate traditionally, I just want more people in general to participate, so digital is fine by me. Insecure is probably not the right word but excluding people will always cause them to lash out. More people drawing is better than repeating this same argument every year. A soft suggestion that people try it traditionally doesn't hurt but anything stronger than that will just cause this infinite argument. I think it is better to just let your little brother play too. The benefits of traditional you mentioned are true. Speaking positively about trad will help more people try it out rather than shitting on digital.

>>6868445
Theoretically you could do it digitally even stricter than traditional. One layer, no undo, no rotating the canvas etc. In trad you could use every trick and hack in the book, like penciling first, rulers, guides, tracing etc. so it's not inherit to either medium.
Inking done digitally with the strictness of traditional seems to match the spirit of Inktober in my opinion.

I didn’t choose to delete my Instagram. It got purged in 2020 with a lot of Qanon accounts. At the beginning of Sars2 I got scared and became a poltard and posted political stuff in my stories for about 4 months before realizing it was all nonsense and stopping. But by the end of the year it didn’t matter, it still got deleted with many other political accounts.

And the art that was included in the burning in 2021 was all the stuff from my 4 year long abusive relationship. The inktober I did in 2017 was all related to that time when I didn’t know I was being abused yet it was reflected in my art. The classic denial and dissociation. I burned it to move on, it’s pretty common to do that therapy stuff.

But you’re right, I’m still ngmi but not for those reasons.

You can't "sell digital art" the same way you can sell traditional art. You can only sell prints of digital art, in the same way that you can sell prints of traditional art.

Print of trad art = Print of digi art
Original trad art = Original digi art (doesn't exist, has to be sold by commission)

It's my understanding that the quality of the art has to be high to sell prints of it. Maybe I'll sell some prints of my inktober stuff, I dunno. I'll definitely make sales with originals. Are you going to sell any prints of your stuff?

Thanks, I really appreciate that. I highly recommend Arthur Guptill's Rendering in Pen and Ink. Get that book. I look to Gustave Dore and Ian Miller, but my work is a bit sparser, so I'm mostly imitating Moebius, with a bit of Frank Miller.
The key is to just be deliberate and methodical, and always have an intention for every line you draw. When you draw a line, know what the difference is between the beginning of the line and the end of the line, like if the beginning is darker/thicker than the end, or if you're radiating your direction or going parallel, or if your ends are going to line up or be jagged. Then use your lines to build a stroke of hatching, and think about that stroke like it's a sort of triangle, with a flat end and a pointy end. There should always be some kind of difference between those two ends, in density or direction or length, unless you're filling a big background area with flat texture. Ends of lines connecting to a perpendicular line, versus ending in open space, is a big thing to keep track of, since those are very different effects. It's something to pay attention to when two runs of hatching run into each other. I tend to hatch to indicate texture, and then crosshatch to indicate shadow. A big part of it is just figuring out which level of perpendicular you're working on, since you might shade a hose with perpendicular ribbing, but you might also shade ribbing with perpendicular hatching. Hatching parallel to the detail you're shading, instead of perpendicular, usually doesn't work. Look at the wrinkles around his mouth to see what I'm talking about. And always contour hatch. You're sculpting the surface with your lines, like latitude and longitude lines on a globe. I like to work on a scale where a line can exist as a detail, instead of building large details out of small lines. If you see an area that looks too light, go put a few dashes or an X or a triangle in there.
Hopefully any of that makes sense.

Of course! Glad to help however I can. And you know, as incredible as Dore is, and as good as it is for learning texture and contour, that density of hatching is just going to be too much for someone like you or me, drawing comics or a cool illustration. So look to Moebius for his efficiency. He can express so much in so few lines, and even with gaps and breaks in his lines. Learning that technique is extremely useful.

the original idea was to work with ink, either with a sketch or straight into the paper, but you can do whatever you want, the main point of it is to increase your creativity with the prompts and enhance your techniques

there's even people who use color pencils instead or work digitally, I personally added watercolors to some of the prompts last year

just have fun

Where do people post this stuff outside 4chan?
I share my stuff to the Inktober page on Reddit, and file it away on Deviantart, but that’s about it
I actually prefer sharing it here most, since it feels more personal and like I can actually talk to other people making stuff

never! my problem typically is i wake up and get overwhelmed with what i can draw, so many options and then i sort of freeze at the paper for a while; having a word thrown into my face instantly makes me start thinking of things and gets me excited; going to ink the first sketch soon, might post here if there's a thread when i'm done
