What do you think about this year 'tober prompt?
>>7730692how do you even draw 'weave'?
>>7730802A basket?A loom?A street race?A boxer?There's any number of things you could draw
>>7730806>basketyeah... the famous term "mongolian basket weaving imageboard" is a thing, so maybe we can use that
>>7730692I like it better than last year's list. Last year the list felt like it had an underlying theme (like "outdoorsy"). To me, that was too limiting (though in hindsight, I should have embraced that since the thing I like about Inktober and prompt lists in general is that they force me to think creatively within the limitation imposed by the prompt)
>>7730692does ballpoint pen count for inktober?
>>7731243Counter question: Can you think of a single reason why it wouldn't?
>>7731244It's more of a sketching tool. It's closer to drawing with a pencil than a marker or brush.
I'm making my own thing-tober list again and I will draw digitally.
>>7731270Good luck and share list pls
>>7731243its not a competition, so you can do whatever the fuck you want from wash to pen to nib or brush.
>>7731257Ballpoint pens are ink, it's called inktober, so sketching with ink would still be valid anon
>>7731365Inking is the action not the medium.
>>7730692My prompt struggles are>blunder>arctic>rivals>lesson>vacant
>>7730692Anyone got any tips for drawing with ink for a beg?
I dont want to be a faggot who does digital for Inktober, but I also dont want to but out all my old trad supplies.
>>7734556Just go buy a sharpie my dude
>>7734553Just start with a sakura pigma micron. relatively cheap to pick up a starter set. You dont really need wide number of sizes. I wouldnt worry about the brush versions (pentel pocket brush can be nice, but some have defective bristles you need to trim/annoying if get shitty one, some sakura sets have 1 brush pen in it). You probaby end up using 001, 01, 03, 05 and maybe spot blacks with a brush or 1 (this is like marker thick kinda thing). Dont get caught up spending lots on nibs or gpens or watercolor brushes and ink. Just start with something simple like $10 pack of microns.https://www.youtube.com/@RichardFriendartist - comic book artist/inker. go through his archives. used to post lots of tutorials on inking, tools, and videos on hatching like wrightson and franklin booth, etc like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJXCw9J9eFI https://www.youtube.com/@stephentraversart - does lot of inking videos for landscapes and plein air type stuff. can see how he breaks down a photo or reference and how he builds the ink up into a full image.https://www.youtube.com/@longstrideillustration - similar to travers with arti tutorials, but shows how to render like other famous artists and other inking tutorials like rocks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KZATKZsRfc or grass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZiopESzIAo&t=5stry to do pen contorl exercises and focus on various lines and shapes like attached image. Just spend 10-15 mins doing these types of small blocks. focus on line quality. can fill block or go from light to darker/denser lines to create gradients, etc. look up zentangles. they are 'fun' little doodle exercises similar to these. can help with line control and weights to generate patterns and get used to using pen or whatever tool you go with. once done, move to textures like the rock, grass, etc tutorials. dont do entire drawings. just make generic rock shapes and try to render it. do small squares of bushes and grass sections.
>>7734553Watch speedpaint and something similar and mimic their technique/method to your drawinghttps://files.catbox.moe/ldxtds.mp4
Would it be cheating to start drawing now so as to make up for when I inevitably start lagging behind in the later half of the month?
>>7737562No, many people do this.
Swordtember completed, definitely started getting a bit lazy toward the end.>>7737562Yeah, I'd say this is the way to go. If you miss a day and have to do two at once, you'll just burn yourself out and quit, having a buffer is better.
>>7737630That's rad, do you have full sized versions anywhere?
>>7739009They're on Twitterhttps://x.com/NotFuji_
>>7730692Hell of a lot better than last year’sLegitimately excited for it this year and to draw along with everyone elseI finally finished 2023 prompts earlier this year, and started redrawing 2021 prompts, so I’m all practiced up. The only thing that might limit me is available time…
>>7734553Make sure you work at a reasonable size for your style. I tend to like using a lot of detail and the first time I tried I went 8x10 for each day, got disgusted and gave up. I did smaller pieces after that and it worked a lot better.
>>7739476>The only thing that might limit me is available time…Same. Dont think I'll make it with all these irregular rl schedule that I have on october. I've been tinkering around with the idea of drawing 2 prompts in 1 paper, but its squeezing the shit out of my brain in concept/ideation process; out of 15/16 drawing in that 2in1 prompts, I have only drawn 3 of them
>>7739745Just pick the prompts you like the most. You don't need to draw everything, 5 drawings is still better than 0!
>>7730692>onion
>>7730692>skeletal
>>7730692I'm barely even low /beg/ but I'm gonna try to do this anyways, if only to get more practice with ink
>>7730692I'm not drawing any of that stupid random shit. But I might put the #inktober hashtag on anyway
gonna start with the prompt now. definitely gonna fuck it up somewhere during the month
>>7739476>>7731183Supposedly the creator took notice on the absolute dip in hashtag trends stats, and changed things upIt was truly a horrible year for the promptsI will be drawing this year, this is a lot better
I hate the retarded ambiguous prompts they keep using. It should be plane, truck, city, girl, flower, tree, etc. Not vacant, blast, murky, pierce, reckless, sweep, heavy, rivals, and other nonsense. Its supposed to prompt people, not be force you to sit and ponder what the fuck to draw or try to figure out what nonsense they are implying.
>wanna do inktober>Realize i'm too slow and badNext year surely
>>7740099you cant think of ideas with just one word? are you dumb or dont have any imagination?
Just writing to catch-all the responses from people who say>theyre too bad>theyre too slow>the prompts are too hardIt’s as easy as you make it>heavy is just a lead weight>vacant is just an empty box>sweep is just a broomWould these make interesting drawings? No. But I thought of these in like 5 secondsThe purpose of Inktober is just to promote drawing something everyday, it doesn’t need to be magnum opus everytime, that’s just your ego getting in the way
>>7730692Started drawing last year around June, didnt wanna do inktober cause anything I drew that wasn't digital looked horrendousBut I just got a fountain pen and I've been loving it, super excited to draw this year
>>7740100i've been saying the exact same thing for over a decade now, the only one i ever done, that i remember was hoops, but this year, things will be different
>>7740454You'll make it brah
>>7740226I think my time would be better spent training ngl
>>7730802i was thinking spiders
>>7730692I gave up halfway last year because the prompts were shit. These are better than those. If I give up this year too, I'll have to face the fact that it's my own failure.
kek i'm already 9 days deep lmao next year get started in september and you'll make it bros
>>7741290I’ve been doing some line work and a bit of inking here and there on about 8 prompts, just have to start pulling them together.Up in Canada we got a stat holiday on Tuesday, and I’m taking today off too, so gonna try and hammer out a couple in earnest today before the 1st
>>7741290I only have 2 prompts and October 1st is a day away. Damn me.
>>7730692gonna be real with you my nigga. i'm not gonna do it kek
i'm doing a spooktober instead
ez pz
Im doing some Halloween themed prompts because I never like the official Inktober ones and I’m not pre-drawing anything beforehand like some people do.
are we going to use this thread for inktober or make a new general?
>>7742202I feel like it’s in bad taste to have 2 threads up, I vote for keeping it tight to this thread.But you jsut know some anon is going to make his own thread for it tomorrow
>>7742227I think I'll post my drawing in both threads if that's the case
is doing this gonna help boost my visibility bros
>>7742728Only if it's good
>>7742728no one gives a shit about intober anymore after asshole tried to copyright and steal everyones art for his own.
>>7742974>take a pic of your inktober canvas>open photoshop>put a big ass opacity'd watermark 'DO NOT REPOST' in your pic>post the watermarked pic on social media>get copyright immunityIt is that simple, its like taking a screencap of 4ch post and plaster the word NIGGER all over it so that safe edgy grifter account on xitter cannot steal repost your screencap (that you distribute on this site) to their account to farm internet point
>>7742728I did the last two years, it got me a minor boost in Twitter for the first 3 days then people stopped giving a shit and I was back to regular numbers.
let's go
a new thread would be good to remind everybody, a lot of people won't start if they're late
>>7743629bake it anon
Day 1 - I’m pretty sure everyone drew mario for mustacheI dont think i can paint these everyday, but gotta start strong!
>>7743634The wrench as a mustache is kino
i promise I'll do more than one day this timeDay 1 - Mustache
>Day 1 - Mustache (and Day 17 - Ornate)draw Navia with her iconic mustache pose, but since Navia also have some kind of ornate-lace pattern in her dress so I decided to include Ornate as well lol
Lets go day 1.>>7743634Nicely done! Adding color really makes the piece pop but i get ya, I think Im jsut sticking to ink this year.>>7743671Really liking the lines used on ther hat and clothes, esteemed mustache frog.>>7743676Really clean work, that hatching must've taken a long time!
>>7741095This is a cool idea
Day 1 - MustacheDon't know what exactly inking is btw
I did horror, houses and mice, this year I'll keep it simple and do some stickers.Let's start!
01 Mustache
das the stache mayne
01 (cats have mustaches I don't care what the science fandom says)
Didn't use nibs for 3 years...
Humiliation ritual
>>7744313Nice drawing.
>>7744313I look like that
Day 1: The prompt being mustache is a sign I will be drawing 40k for this inktober. Probably won't post them all here like last year, but will still be drawing them. Also>Error: your post is spam fuck youSorry for not replying to drawings, anon. >>7743614Really cool wizard/scientist. The energy effects on the orb look really cool. I love the dramatic shading too. >>7743634Damn that's awesome, tableguy. Your watercolors always inspire me. I hope you keep up the posting for the whole month, even if you don't color them all. Really looking forward to them. >>7743671That's really cute. I love the way you drew that eyebrow poking up, seems like something useful to keep in mind. Also really clean lines, especially on the stripes. >>7743691Really nice 'staches. The black coloring/negative as a highlight is really cool. I need to learn more about just drawing with ink/black lines. Also is that the disco elysium guy?>>7744313Damn, anon, that's awesome. Very halloween. How long did that take you to draw? Love the deformed belly.
i'll start posting here, whatever.will try to keep it up as long as possible.>>7743634so glad to see you here, love your stuff, even when I'm not into the ero-gurolove the dandy mustaches>>7743837is that a don quixote mustache?>>7743918glad you're back, the mouses were great fun, looking forward to stickers>>7744509genocicidovich seems like a nice guycan't reply to everyone cause 4chan thinks its spam, but everyone is doing great!
>>7743691i recognize the bottom 'stache
>>7744664also did some redraws of old prompts, but i'll post those somewhere else since its not 2025 specific.
My Day 1: Mustache
>>7744693AI
>>7744705Your mom is AI
>>7743671Day 2 - Weavesome terrible design choices here and there. let's not talk about those
>>7743634Day 2 - obligatory spider weaving>>7741095Fuck you beat me to it>>7744317Why is this drawing so small IS THIS FOR ANTS>>7744313You have inspired me to push my inks harder>>7743638It’s an old gag from a few years ago>>7743691I already dropped the watercolor>>7744664Ero guro? I’d never…
Day 2 : Weave>>7744663nice BatStache>>7744353your cat don't have mustache but nice boobs anyway
where's the cunnytober?
oh wow i tried and failed so hard. i dont know what it is, i normally draw with ink, but now that there's an expectation looming over me i just choke and can't produce anything worth a good god damn.thanks inktober, you've shown me that i can never ever function as an artist in any professional capacity
>>7744925>>7743692
damn I'm never posting mine again, it's too embarrassing to see how everyone else is super pro at doing these
>>7744926the master has failed more times than the student has even tried...or something>>7744930never give up
>>7744932my pb for a 10k is 48.37, but when i went to an actual run, i started overthinking shit, messed up my pacing, had to take two breaks and came in on an absolutely terrible 64.12i just dont do well under any kind of pressure, it's really annoying
>>7744937>my pb for a 10k is 48.37what does any of that even mean
>>7743676>Day 2 - Weave, Murky (Day 4), and Deer (Day 5)
>>7744905It looks fun, playful, and whimsical, luv it>>7744923Fuckin hot.. uhh aside from that I like your line control and hatching.
>>7743671>>7744905give us you blog pls
>>7744940he's a rooner10k - 10 miles48.37 minutes.
Day 2 - Weave
>>7744945The better version without cam scanner filter stuff
>>7744961Look at the non-metric system user over here. 10k = 6.2 miles.>>774493748:37 is pretty fucking fast that's like a sub 8 min mile. My best time in 10k is like 63 min, but in my defense I started later in life and wasn't very athletic in my 20's and 30's. Im slow, but I still get out there and do it.>>What does this have to do with artBoth running and drawing teach you how to suffer so pretty related. Good to see some of you from last year's threads. Im sitting this year out on posting cause my October is pretty packed and there's no space for the added deadlines. Best of luck and look forward to seeing your work.
Do people even do inktobers anymore? The whole buzz seems to have died online. Was it because the guy tried to trademark the thing or something?
>>7745134The drama surrounding the founder, and also the surge of other October based challenges. Spooktober and Kinktober being two big ones.
>>7745134>that day 2hee hee
A little late but I could only think of one thing for todays prompt.>>7744509Thanks anon! I experimented a bit yesterday and found a nice balance in using the white negative space. You've got some good forms on your portrait! >Also is that the disco elysium guy?the Superstar Cop himself you know it.>>7744668Mr. Evrart is helping me find my inking pen.>>7744983Fuck that's nice. Always loved the basked mask ever since I saw one of the crones from the witcher 3 have one of em. What is that called?
>>7745176I guess I'm not the only one who's been playing Silksong
>>7745179Based Skonger. Good hornet ya got there, I like how you used the negative space to kinda cut through the figure without giving the silk an outline outside of it.
>>7745176>Fuck that's nice. Always loved the basked mask ever since I saw one of the crones from the witcher 3 have one of em. What is that called?They're based on what Medieval bee keepers wore.
>>7744091Day 02 - Weave>>7744664Thank you, it's nice to see your drawings this year too!>>7744905Cute witches!
wtf do i draw for "murky"?
>>7743634TableGOD
>>7745325pond scum waifu climbing out of swampy murky water
>>7745335>pond scum waifusorry im drawing illumi for all challenges..do i just make him climb out of a swamp in a suggestive pose? i could take a nice ref for that, i got some ideas
>>7745179Lol same I'm doodling today since I can't focus
>>7745134I see a ton of people doing monstertober, lewdtoper and such, it's probably dividing the attention.Also everyone hated last year's prompt, that didn't help.
I need to draw these bigger
>>7744012I am so beg...
hows this for murky? no lines i went straight to painting but im afraid im blind and not seeing my mistakes now
sorry seems i pressed the reply button twice and these didnt get included. i should lay off the beer>>7745344really cute>>7745368aww, perhaps is she on a mongolian basket weaving forum? i really like this pic>>7745424its hard to make out whats going on exactly, but it really cute. love the character>>7745459mogs me
>>774428902 Weave
>>7745484you win.. its the cutestblog?
>>7745491Thanks! I don't post anywhere except occasionally here and /i/, at least for now
day 2 weave, half satisfied with how it came out. my camera takes shitty pictures.lot of anons thought of silksong it seems lol
Another spider :P>>7744923This is so awesome!>>7745134Haha, that spider is amazing!A lot of great drawings here, anons!
This one was a bit of a wash. I was thinking about those old airshows with plane acrobatics, but I lost the spark about halfway through the sketching.>>7744905Amazing! Great use of negative space, too!>>7744983Great clever use of the prompt, and no better paper for it>>7745368Too wholesome! This isn't my 4chan!>>7745459I thought about doing a wheel or loom too, but couldn't get it to fit my theme>>7745556I won't be getting around to Silksong, but I'm glad to see all the fan art for it!
Day 2: This will probably be the hardest one to come up with an idea for 40k. I settled on some administratum scribe or adept WEAVing an imperial flag. Also didn't think I'd run into silksong stuff here kek, still haven't played it. >>7744664Wow glad to see you this year, anon. I loved the trick r treating stories last year. Also you should post your redraws too, in a catbox link if you don't want to take image slots. As for this year, I love the grape costume so much so far lol. And really awesome backgrounds too. >genocicidovichFuck, I doubled the bi lol. >>7744444Jesus christ, sorry for not checking this yesterday. Quint 4s, checked.Nice drawings, anon. The wario nose came out really nice and hte facial expression on the bottom is funny. >>7744923Damn that's awesome. Love the the form of the arms(legs?) In particular, the shading or negative space. Super cool. >>7744993Damn that's really cool, what's going on there? Some titanic deer deaded and is being corrupted?>>7745556Very good skills with the pen, anon. The cracked egg head reminds me of angel's egg.
I feel like 'weave' is hard to be creative with
Day 2
I tried to get creative with horses weaving into a line. I see now it's mostly confusing.
Day 02: Weave
>>7745812its good to experiment, otherwise how would you know?
Lets goooo! My fav thread on this god forsaken board
Day 3, Bow to your Queen, peasants!>>7745812Yea, quite confusing, but I like it!>>7745739'Weave' would be simple with Eldar - Shadow WEAVER, etc. But your idea is better, screw these xenos!'Starfish' may be harder...
>>7745871i look forward to starfish and seeing the variety of assholes
>>7744993>Day 3 - Crown>Day 14 - Trunk>Day 24 - RowdyFucked up the tree perspective, but oh well...
Last year we had a palestinian anon. Wonder how he's doing.
>>7745841>>7745821Really nice.
>>7745739>Some titanic deer deaded and is being corrupted?big ass dear is something that I was thinking in there, mixed with some kind of virus-weave that are eventually pollute the surrounding water, but honestly I dont like how it turns out at the end. Drawing in kraft is hard>>7745841Good minimalistic layout composition and style, love it>>7745871Love that baba shape, its so grab-able. I'll be waiting for your starfish drawing
>>7743614>>7744924
>>7745159>>7745368Yeah, I saw spooktober before. I guess being too prideful of what you created led to people not wanting to participate in it. Kinda like how that one channel tried to copyright "react".>>7745161>>7745623Thank you thank you. Very cute anime spider girl.>>7745841This is really good, like I can see them refined to be icons/logos too.
I wanted to do my own spooktober, couldnt think of anything, already 2 days passed.I guess i wont do crap this year.
>>7744923Day 3 - my broccoli is CROWNing, get it? Drawing is the best>>7744993This is pretty fucking cool>>7744930>>7744926This is like my 10th inktober. You very quickly learn where to cut corners. You double up if you fall behind. You triple up. And you keep drawing into November because you just want to finish something for once in your god damn life.>>7745556I gotta push my blacks harder like this>>7745841This place is the best
>>7745322Day 03 - Crown>>7745368Cute Yotsuba!>>7745841Love the minimalistic style
>>7745176Day 3 - CrownKing of the forest>>7746030Thought about Volition too, real nice hatching. Iv'e yet to aquire the patience for doing em througout my inking.>>7746083Now that's a nice broccoli
had to draw a bunch of different stuff to get myself through drawing day 3
You see the latin root for "crown" is "corona", which is also the name of a stellar phenomenon!>>7746030Love Volition
>>7745459I have no idea what I'm doing...Thanks to "mogs me" for his kindness btw
Day 2 weave. I decided to add the black background digitally instead of trying a wash.>>7745871Jealous of your line control. They look great and with dynamic line weight too!>>7745798I like the composition on this one, good use of value with different stroke styles to drive inwards towards the bird.>>7746349Awesome
Beginning of inktober and already almost 2 days behind. Fuck
>>7746667Belive I understand you
>>774548403 Crown
I'm doing Murky the night before since I missed out on the first 3 days and I'm working all day tomorrow.This is really cool AND difficult though. I've never done this sort of art before so I feel like it's forcing my brain to think in different ways, but I guess that's the point. Definitely could have been braver and pushed the shadows more though.
Day 3: I was too ambitious with this pic kek. I had to cut the space back a lot cause I could not manage to fill the empty space. I'm gonna be busy tomorrow too, so I had less time to work on this one as well. It's the coronation of a new princeps on a mechanicus-aligned knight world. Plan to do lots of /m/ knight art this inktober.>>7745871>*ldarkek jk, I like the aeldar, but this is an imperium focused inktober for me I think. Originally I had a plan to do a story following a civil war on a knight world, but I changed my mind on the first prompt. My favorite faction is actually lost n damned. Rip...Do you have a fave?>starfishI don't know actually, it's a more evocative prompt than weave I think. Probably some chaos spawn or demon killing some guys is my current thought. Also haven't replied to your drawings, but they're really nice. I don't like poobs, but you draw them really nice. Love the hair texture too. >>7745812Badass, I think you did a good job on the horses. Looks really nice to me. >>7746003Damn, it looks cool to me, anon. Reminds me of lies of P. The tree trunk is really awesome. >>7746083Based, eat your greens.>>7746349lol same idea. That angle is much nicer than the one I went with. I ended up having a ton of trouble with my perspective. Really cool pic and I love how the open sky draws attention to the crown.
Day 3 - Crown
>>7746911Very nice anon. How long did this take?
>>77306923. crownnameless king>>7746003cute>>7746285handsome
>>7746915About 3-4 hours. Started it around 1:00PM and finished just before 5:00PM
>>7746928That’s some great work for 3-4 hours. I’m impressed
this prompt was also kind of a throwaway, not a particularly fun or engaging pic. nothing but masterpieces from here on out though!speaking of masterpieces, so many great drawings this year, im sad i cant comment on them all!>>7745821really nice, simple but excellent detail>>7745841love that crown! did you get inspiration from somewhere for this?>>7746204ive betrayed the maple in my canadian veins by not thinking of this. nice out-of-the-box idea!>>7746911this one's great, im such a sucker for crispy hatchingkeep it up, everyone!
>>7746915it's AI
>>7730802
>>7746975Shut the fuck up
>>7746915it's not AI
>>7746988im /beg, but what is the blue pencil even for?
>>7747015NTA but I've used it in the past. It makes it easier to remove the sketch lines digitally.
>>7746991lol I know it isn’t AI and never thought it was. The hands alone are a good indicator that it isn’t AI
>>7747015NTA but it's a remnant from the xerox era, xerox machines wouldn't pick up blue so you could draw in blue pencil and ink on top and the xerox machine would only pick up the inked lines.You could achieve the same thing by just adjusting levels or using a threshold tool which would kill all lines that aren't ink, but blue still works better if you're inking on the pencil sheet instead of using a lightbox. it's just not strictly necessary.
smol
>>7747029They can do a pretty good job, but they aren't perfect. I started using non photo blue pencil as a way of avoiding erasing since the eraser has a habit of rubbing away ink. If you need to avoid this and want to lay down flats quick without fussing around erasing leftover mess from corners and edges then non photo blue lead is breddy good for that.
I made two for murky but decided to go with this one instead. I feel like it had better composition compared to my first attempt. >>7746204Thank you. I think hatching in digital is more tiring than trad. Maybe its because of the tactile feeling you get out of it.Nice moose though.>>7746285Very regal. Kinda reminds me of Vinland saga.>>7746521This is really nice. Simple yet so effective. Its also sort of inspired me to make my day 4 work.>>7746761Hee ho!>>7746911I thought this was printed. Insane work.>>7747037Adorable.
>>7746918like this one
Day 4. Nothing to see there!>>7747103Nice art, really good hatching on the background!>>7746911Shading is incredible!>>7746892Very intriguing picture! It's really nice you want to tell a deeper story this inktober. My fav faction are probably Iron Warriors but it's a really hard choice. >>7746790I like this one! Very atmospheric!So many great pics in this thread! Keep going!
Day 03: CrownFucking hell, I have no clue why I struggled with this one…

This thread is popping! good to see so many inks!>>7746083Day 4 - i had this one saved up, but now im burning the extra credit already. The ink wash didnt work out and neither did the hatching. Gotta work on that readability >>7746616I love this dark shit>>7747037I hate you, draw bigger or i will destroy you>>7747143Nice one! Also cool foot hiding trick :P>>7746790Make sure you do the other 3 days haaaaaa
>>7747078>I started using non photo blue pencil as a way of avoiding erasing since the eraser has a habit of rubbing away ink.That's a bit strange, are you using some kind of marker pen instead of bottled ink? I've never had anything rub away but I use India ink.
>>7746171Day 04 - MurkyI'd love to print this on transparent film>>7746911Great hatching>>7747037Cute
>>7746204Loosing a bit of steam on day 4 but we still here.>>7747185This is so full of energy!
concepts for the next few days.now to finish deer>>7747283>Loosing a bit of steami feel you, im losing a lot of steam, not sure if i will be able to finish, unless i somehow speed everything up. which is why i tried working out a few concepts beforehand
>>7747459nicemurky used to be my main when i play HOTS
>>7747188I use both, but fading has even been an issue with Pilot. Not visually, visually it will look okay so long as I didn't etch lines very thin. But it can become a problem if I need to select areas after level adjustments.
>>7747459Love this
Day 3 crown. Wasn't feeling the prompt so I tried out using a brush to at least get something out of it.>>7746892I feel you, one day isn't enough to try and make a full panel. Love the perspective.>>7746947Great expressions and the body language conveys their emotions. It does feel a bit busy even though the thumbnail is clear, I'm not sure why.>>7747165Great framing and I like his little derpy face.>>7747185This could be the cover of a comic, wonderful work.
Day 4 - Murky
Making my life a lot more difficult than it needs to be with all this negative space
>>7747283I recognize this disgusting bastard dog
day 4": murky>>7747149reminds me of a blasphemous boss>>7747103i love blightown, nice work!>>7747110thanksies :3
>>7746572Day 4. Murky.
Wanted to post and comment on people's stuff earlier, but got too busy. Lots of great stuff!My use of the prompt might be a little weak, but I still really enjoyed drawing this one>>7747143there's something about the mafia execution and the crocodile like you'd see on a 5-year-olds birthday card that is morbidly hilarious>>7747149looks great to me, nice and gothic>>7747185fantastic! i like her hair as the tail. with the way she's positioned, would this just be an extreme case of vagina dentata?>>7747528her expression is great. horses in swamps, please don't tell me its name is artax...>>7747585beautiful and creepy! love the hatching
interesting prompts, it's going to be difficult to keep up with one drawing a day
>>7747512>>7747560thanks!
>>7747670biboo's face feels too wide (i think it's mostly the eyes) but good work
Day 3 of inktober. I was hopping to catch up today but I guess I won't
Day 4 - Murkycut the drawing out of the paper on a whim and ended up liking the result, might experiment more with doing this
>>774676104 Murky
Now I cought up
>>7747585Sick rendering. I have something with kind of similar composition with the prompt 'ragged'
>>7747772love the atmosphere and storytelling you achieved with positive/negative space
Day 4: Sleeping giant... or a well earned eternal restLove knights so much; plan to draw more of them. Also I got a late start today. >>7747143Thanks a lot, anon. I planned to have all of them follow a story, but now only a few of them will. The last one was part of it, but I had to cut it off lol. It had hte same heraldry as the knight here. >iron warriorsGood taste, I do love me some chaos. Especially those who are reluctant to fall. Also really great pic. Love the way you drew the underwater hair. Really gorgeous. >>7747575Thanks, anon. And yeah it can be hard to fit a lot of detail in without much time to thinking about it. I really like the outfit you have here. It's overall a really interesting pic to me. >>7747799Oooh, that's atmospheric. Really cool. >>7747772That's pretty awesome. Reminds me of the nightlands for some reason. Great job, anon. Asking again, how long do these take you?
Already done with my day 5 - "deer"Much happier with how this turned out than my day 4.
Day 5. Did this in a hurry because I got a long day ahead of me.>>7747944Very melancholic. I like it.>>7747972Insane work here.
>>7747165>>7747585I really like this kind of oppressive style>>7747627 see a little goblin lurking lurking in the background and tjis little gut > :3 <
>>7747944i love it
>>7747185Day 5 - i gotta go to bed, this one needed more ink but i was too lazy to render the rest of the owl
Day 04: MurkyAttempt at silhouettes in foggy beach area of a swamp
I thought heavy was day 6
i love seeing all the different interpretations of the prompts, really cool.instead of color stuff im going back to monochrome cuz its just easier for me, eventhough i wanted to use inktober to practice color. oh well
>>774726505 - DeerI really like how this one turned out>>7747772It kinda reminds me of Dorohedoro, great style!
>>7747629Inktober 5 deerInking is when it is black Yep, yep, yep!
>>7748289adorable>>7748276i love the tree>>7748234its always lurkin
i wasn't really sure what to do with this one, the drawing just came about i was went with it>>7747772this is great, the cutout gives it an entirely different look!>>7747972very cool, super spooky, and the highlights on the shroud are perfect>>7748084i never really thought about the deer antlers on the samurai helmets, great out-of-the-box idea>>7748282i love the stylized look to this, and nice pops of color>>7748299you could almost slap this on some farm equipment
>>7747944about 4-5 hours
>>7747575Thanks! I'll work on the business. I tend to add an excess after the main part's been finished.Nice gesture on yours, like she's been caught mid-movement.>>7747663It is a nameless horse, don't worry. But I do worry for the adventure those kids take. Is there a story you're going for?>>7747799Very melencholic and lonely.
>>7747283Tomorrow the real test begins, doing this shit during the weekday>>7747354Smart idea, it's really the coming up with a subject part that takes the most time. Maybe I'll write some stuff down beforehand so I can get straight to drawin.>>7747508Great scene, love te white space left on the tree tops.>>7747528the solid chunks of values really makes this composition so appealing to me.>>7748419Clean and serene
>>7748689can confirm coming up with concepts first is a big help, i usually just finish one a day but im on 1.5 now. i can finish this and another tomorrow perhaps and so build up a little bit of a backlogyour deer guy looks dangerous, wouldnt wanna mess with him
Didn't have a clever idea for this one
Day 4 murky>>7748282>Christmas in OctoberBack foul demon>>7748493I think it worked out well! I definitely feel the chaos of animals swarming for food.
Day5
Day 5wasnt feeling the prompt so drew this as protest
Working on starfish, a lot harder than expected.
>>7748578no, no story. just little illustrations with trick or treaters, i've been doing that a few years now.>>7748762the fact that social media auto-tags knew it was deer and not weird big dogs is a win in my book!
Ran out of time for Deer so just moved on to Pierce.
>>774779905 Deer
Day 5 - Deer
>>7748234hahahahaHAHAHA nice one kid
>>7746960>love that crown! did you get inspiration from somewhere for this?I just decided to stick with the animal theme and chose baboon
Day 5: Knight and his armsmen in battleDeer heraldry for deer. Gotta stop procrastinating on these. Could be a lot cooler with more time spent. >>7748264kek literally throwing up the high beams. Good pun. Love everything about your style honestly. Really good job. >>7748084Thanks, anon. Badass samurai. Adding animal parts onto armor always makes them cooler. In sparse amounts, of course.>>7748240Thanks a lot, anon. Knights are super cool. I have a few more knight pics coming probably. >>7749079Nice one, anon. I love the shapes you use for muscles. Feels really fluid. >>7749306kek, that is awesome. Printer inktober. Really cool ascii art, anon. Did you do it as pure ascii or draw it and then convert it? Awesome either way.
>>7749317Drew it, wrote the converter code, and typed it out on a typewriter.
>>7748353Inktober 6 - pierce
Day 6. A little hungover.>>7748299This could really go for a logo. >>7749317>>7748493Thanks. I think the samurai I drew, Sanada Yakimura is real but no record of his armor having said helmet with antlers. Based off the Nioh appearance. >>7749306This is very creative. Ink in another way.
>>7749306Nice. Was this done on a real typewriter? I see what look like indents in the paper, like the ink ribbon failed for whatever reason.
>>7746003>Day 6 - Pierce>Day 7 - Starfish>Day 13 - Drink
>>7749317>Nice one, anon. I love the shapes you use for muscles. Feels really fluidThank you! I love yours as well. I wish I was brave enough to tackle more ambitious pieces like this. Capturing a sense of motion and activity like this is something I'm still struggling to communicate with lines.
>>7749488Yeah, still the original ribbon, probably seen better days.
>>7748264Day 6 Pierce - piggy backed this off another drawing that was due today. I think the blueshell spike counts as a piercing. Or maybe its the bullet bill…>>7748763This deer is sex>>7748802Needs more antlers on the penis>>7749122A nice drawing amongst the penis and nipple deer>>7749306I think you won inktober
>>7748234Day 6 : Pierce
>>7744905Day 3 - Crownstill alive (?)
>>7749629Day 4 - Murky
>>7744949Thanks for all the comments my dudes, this is my sns but it's been dead for years. Gotta go back to posting with these @ddattabb on twitter@ddatttabb on instagram
>>7748689>Clean and serenethanks man, and great work btw>>7743671>>7744905>>7749629>>7749631coolest artstyle I've seen in years, I wish I had even a fraction of your drawing skills
>>7749520fantastic colorsany specific artists that inspired your style?
i want to draw more monsters, so if anyone has any ideas or inspiration please let me know>>7749079i love this expression, the highlight in the one eye looks very piercing>>7749239not ink, but still cool. i like the concept!>>7749306that's pretty crazy, how long does this take you to do? a really fantastic different way to go about "ink"tober>>7749520damn thats crazy! incredible drawing. i really appreciate the way you have the colored light casting colors like that. its a concept ive tried myself, but i could never get it to work>>7749629did someone already get you to post your socials? these are fantastic drawings!
>>7749631CUTE
>>7730692>want to do inktober>spilled all my ink>the art supply store is 60 miles awayCan I mix lamp black oil paint with mineral spirits? I have a bottle of india ink VDB but I don't like it
06 - PierceYou can't escape the gaze>>7748493>>7749454Thanks!>>7749122>>7749306Cute deers>>7749490Great linework!
>>7748689Today was quite a thoughtful piece.>>7749682Appreciate it!>>7749631That witch in the background is so good dude.>>7749819This is how it felt waking up today
I was going to whine about how I don't feel like drawing, but once I got started it wasn't even unpleasant.
>>7745871>>7747143Cute!
>>931741Inktober 6. Starfish
Ah fuck>>7749397Inktober 6. Starfish
starfishy
Day 6 - Pierce
>>7750089amazing
>>7750089Sexy
>>7750003I don’t know what’s going on, but I fuck with this >>7750009Very interesting.
>>7750089I was waiting for this.
deer>>7749300Love these little dudes. Very good simplification.>>7749454Great shapes and energy. Mechs are awesome.>>7749631Such nice flow and clear storytelling>>7750089kek
>>7750089hey hey
>>7749847I think the actual ink is optional now, a ton of people do it digitally.
Day 05: Deer
>>7749734>how long does this take youIt took like an hour to type out and it was awful. If I were to do this again, I'd redo the charset so all the keys are easily touch-typeable, so much of it being made of dashes wasn't a great move.
>>774912206 Pierce
>>7750122>I don’t know what’s going onIt is a look from above at a girl fishing a starfish with a star as a bait
Day 6 Pierce>>7749734 Thanks, I'm trying to keep the palette minimal and somewhat on theme
Day 6: Deer hunting....Decided a comic page was the best style to do this in.I ended up spending too long on another topic and had no time to do this lol. But it did inspire me to make a 40k comic at some point. >>7749454I also ended up putting some an ice worm reference in mine lol. That scene is so awesome. God-like game. Also really good rendition. >>7749494Thanks a lot, anon. I just get an idea in my head and have trouble letting them go kek. And you definitely can do something like that honestly, you just need to be inspired enough for it I think. >>7749520kek that face. Great job. >>7749631Hot damn. This is my favorite so far I think. This is pretty much perfect in every way to me lol. >>7749734I like this. I love how you always show the prominent full moon. Also the variety of what you draw always interests me.
pierce
Day 7. Starfish.>>7749869>piercing gazeClever.>>7749967Keep going anon, sometimes you just gotta push through.>>7750009I feel like this is a reference to something but I can't put my finger in it.>>7750089Really out of the box thinking damn, but it is really good.>>7750175Thank you!>>7750593Thanks man, that scene is probably one of the most hype moments in the game. Armored Core 6's atmosphere is phenomenal, along with other Fromsoft games.I like your idea of making the prompt into a comic. It could be an interesting challenge to tie a story together with the prompts given.
>>7749542Day 7 : Starfish
How do i draw reckless
>>7750682I was happy, floating, staring at the stars...>>7750741Someone doing something reckless. People try to think too much outside the box to the point it becomes abstract. Just go simple.... Or create yourself more hurdles, if you try to make an overarching theme to your inktober, it narrows the ideas, gives you a better guide so the themes don't feel so whatever. Ask Claude for prompts if you can't think of anything
>>7749520Day 7 starfish - ive been waiting to redraw this old starfish girl. They throw up their stomachs to eat outside their bodies. The more you know.>>7749691I cant find any watercolorists that i like. So i guess not. I’m open to any recs!>>7749734Oh i definitely didnt get the lighting right. But you will never learn if you dont try and fail a thousand times. So only like 998 more times to go.>>7750617I can feel the piercings>>7750009Dude. What?>>7750723The yonic imagery is strong in this one
>>7750682my inspiration came from thiscute art btw
my brother really liked the expression on this one>>7749918brutal picture, but i appreciate you keeping it real>>7750089>>7750233im surprised this didnt even cross my mind, fantastic!>>7750617i literally only know about these from that manga gachiakuta>>7750746what in the seven hells is happening here?
>>7750746heheheheh
>>774986907 - Starfish>>7749967Good work! Sometimes it's more the thought of doing then the doing itself. >>7750344Viking vibes>>7750682A star among stars
i went back to color for this one, my original plan was learning color more in inktober but it takes too much time i feel like>>7750723trippy, i likeit>>7750828cute>>7750857very creative, i love this kind of chaotic style>>7750941mechafish
Pierce. Fuck clouds man, I can't draw clouds.>>7750344Really like this. But also rotate your images phone poster.>>7750990Do these characters have some preexisting story or background? I need to know why elf woman unleashed her archery deer on some random dude sipping coffee.>>7751083I feel this
>>775037107 Starfish
>>7750003Inktober 8. Reckless
>>7751445I am retarded
Day 7: The gifts of Chaos!After chaos' victory at the battle, storming of the settlements and people of the planet commence. Some "lucky" few transform into idols of their devotion. Still not much time to do these. Not tomorrow either. But after that, maybe. >>7750352Forgot to reply to this yesterday somehow, but this is awesome. Very cute looking drawing. I really love the multimedia approach you're doing for this. Super cool and creative. Keep it up, anon. >>7750746Metal as hell, super cool. Great design. >>7750543Ooh fencing is really cool. Great job with this too. Really nice for being so small. >>7751076Ooh nice and cute. I really like how you colored the water. >>7751178Is that like a rocket ship? Nicely done, anon. >>7751206lol, realistic patrick star. Looks kind of dried out though... Poor guy...
Day 8. Reckless.Couldn't think of much so I went with the first thing that came to my mind.>>7750805Interesting. Thank you. >>7750828That's cute.>>7750857I like how dynamic you drew. You can feel the motion.>>7750941This took me a minute to realize its supposed to a 'mecha' starfish.>>7750965Simple yet effective. I can imagine myself seeing this on a cafe/restaurant near the shore.>>7751076 This is fantastic, but yeah coloring will take a lot more time considering you have to make one every day.>>7751083>tfw
>>7751076Try painting with a hard brush only, no transparency, no blending or minimal blending. Limit yourself to 1 hour "sketches"
xn0y
this shit too hard brehs..I've only drawn 7/31 and I'm aldready burnt out brehs..
>>7751753Try doing less quality
I'm proud that we made it through Starfish without a single person drawing goatse
>>7750723Day 8 : Reckless>>7750746Thanks, I learn a new english word
>>7750746Day 8 Reckless - except i fucking cant spell because i dont read enough>>7750941Cool beans>>7751446Atleast you can spell reckless and you didnt carve a misspelling in ink onto your drawing>>7751478Chocolate starfish?>>7751755I wish somebody had drawn some starfish nipples>>7751759Idiot didnt even draw his sword - pun intended>>7751518Thats a ripped starfish
Day 06: PierceHopefully the image won’t flip this time.
>>7751759>Dead HandFuck that guyCreepiest enemy in the series
>>7751076>cuteThanks! You did great job with the water, I wonder if you'll finally decide to continue coloring the rest of the entries.>>7751577>That's cute.Thank you! I like the concept of yours.
day 8 reckless. just kind of ran with this one, probably better ideas out therealso should there be a new thread soon? this ones at its limit, it seems>>7750941love this one, super interesting mech idea>>7751083>tfw burnt out from inktober, and its only day 8>>7751178thats ok, i cant draw clouds either>>7751518i feel like a slaanesh mark would be fitting for an eldritch abomination with tentacles, if you get where im going with this>>7751681is that how the story went?
>>7751076i only had 30 minutes to do this one, sadly had two office days in a row so no time for drawing much>>7751518thank you, your starfish is looking pretty yolked>>7751577colors are a pain. i love your interpretation of reckless>>7751622thats a good one desu, i feel like itll be better to practice it without the time pressure of inktober though :( >>7751868inosuke for reckless is so fitting, i love it . following you on xitter now
day 8:reckless, ignore the date written>>7751907>.7oooo i love this one>>7751577np :3>>7751868cute ;3
>>7751178I'm hoping to follow a very, very loose path of a LotR story. >>77517537/31 isn't bad. I wish I would have stockpiled more panels to give me lazy days in the future.
>>7751753Just do easier drawings sometimes, most of the words let you just get away with half naked anime girls to save your energy for the ones which don't.
Inktober 9. Heavy.
>>7752181Cute Russian. She has child-bearing hips
>>7749631Day 5 - Deeryou guys can go ahead I'm right behind youThanks for all the nice words my dudes. I was gonna quote people but the system thinks my post is spam>>7749918>coolest artstyle I've seen in yearsI really appreciate it! but also for your own sake look at more stuff please lol>>7749734>did someone already get you to post your socials?ye it's this >>7749632
>>775096508 - RecklessRules are meant to be broken>>7751577Stickers are meant to travel the world! Also love the sense of depth>>7752255>you guys can go ahead I'm right behind youI'll keep glancing back because the witches are too cute
Day 8 - Reckless
starfish>>7751518Yes, it's a rocket piercing through the clouds. Thanks>>7752148Rad!>>7752264I chuckled, a nice clean gag.>>7752276No Cirno, don't open the demon core!
>>7752299It's the other way around. The demon core is safe so long as the beryllium hemispheres are kept apart, it's when you close them that you get a bad time.Cute starfish.
>>775120608 Reckless

Going to take a break until shredded, i'm currently drawing something else

Day 8: Eh, a little late on this one as I expected. Played some kill team and decided to dedicate today's drawing to a moment from my match. Where I had a tag team of zealots RECKLESSly charge the geomancer. One good plasma shot from the missionary took him down. Really cool moment. The Sanctifiers just look so cool...I'll be back to the knight world story tomorrow. >>7751761Nice, I really like the action on that foot/sock. Also>wreckless>>7751892Damn badass action scene. Your drawings are always so jam packed. >slaaneshlol, good point. Here it's just the 8 pointed star. No specific cult in mind for the story yet, although I know what they're doing. >>7751995Very cute. Too cute in fact. Great job. >>7752181Fucking kek>>7752255Double dubs!Really nice texturing on the deer. Also kyoot witch. >>7752488checked dubslmao the deleted posts make it look like it's flipping and flopping around. Nice starfish, anon.

also>>7752654>in a very special episode of The Simpsons...>>7752686love this panty and stockings, so badass
>>77476705,6,7,9
Couldn't be bothered today
>>7752654That Lisa killed me.
>>7751446>>7752181I am brainrotted and unoriginal hiding my unimaginative self with memes and references...It's over
day 9 done, just in time
I think I've fully hit the point where I'm not even slightly invested in the drawings and only want to get it done. Only twenty days to go!
>>7752976nahh bro keep going seriously, we can do it
>>775226409 - Heavy>>7752299Thanks!>>7752574I want to print them at the end, for selling we'll see. I'll probably just post the printable files for anyone who wants to use them.>>7752937Not all of Gaul, there's a small village...
Okay that was a uhhh prompt...
reckless>>7752305You got me to read the wikipedia article. I didn't realize the whole thing was just a guy deciding to ignore safety protocols
>>775237009 Heavy
Day 9: Scavenger salvaging the site of battle between the two knights. Got himself some heavy metal. A secondary turret barrel. Back to the knight world. >>7752686Damn that's really cool. I really like the gun Panty is holding. Saving this for reference later...>>7752751That's cool, reminds me of eva. Kinda looks like he has a tiny sleep face in the iris pupil lol.>>7752795Jeez these kids always end up everywhere. Helping centaurs with a Sisyphean task?>>7752805Cute Canada!Good job on all of those. >>7752919This is really nice. I like the way the dress and hair are drawn. >>7752954I thought this was for heavy for a second. Sweep makes a lot more sense.
Day 10. Sweep.Anyone here remember Dustforce? >>7752575Simple yet effectively conveying the prompt.>>7752599Dunno much about 40k but I assume that skeleton thing is really strong.>>7753192Nice Spike but was this taken in like a old phone or something?
