When I think of October I think of Fall colors and black ink lines. October is InkTober! For several years I’ve participated in Inktober, a daily challenge to create in ink. In the early years of my participation, I was a purest, only drawing in ink. But it's hard for me to stay away from my watercolors for a whole month! In more recent years I’ve blended the two - created fall themed illustrations with ink outlines using my favorite ink pen.
There are optional Inktober prompts - which I don’t follow. Prompts are great, but I prefer to paint what inspires me. There are tons of creative challenges online. It doesn’t matter which one you follow or if you follow all the “rules.” The point of these challenges is to inspire and motivate us to create more regularly.
I’m adjusting to my new work schedule and am ready to fit in daily creativity - so Inktober comes at the perfect time for me. What about you? Are you ready for Inktober?!
