Welcome Inktober 2023!

I’m a bit late coming to the party.

But better late than never.

The premise of inktober is for people to create one piece of ink art per day for the entire month of October. One can use any type of ink and any kind of artwork. Apparently, it’s a real movement, and I love the concept.

Each day of October has a specific prompt, and one can be as creative as possible to convey that prompt. The prompts for the month are listed below. I fell behind, so I caught up today by sometimes combining two or three prompts into one ink drawing. While the rules of inktober allow for pencil sketches gone over with ink, I decided to take out my trusty G2 07 pen and do the first eight drawings using only ink. 

It’s a humbling experience but fun. Now that I have caught up, I won’t be remiss for the rest of October. I will share my ink drawings, along with my oil paintings throughout this month on the days I post, Wednesdays and Sundays.

You might see previous drawings through the paper. I am using a special sketchbook: a miniature one that my daughter gifted me on my birthday.

This drawing has both prompts 7 and 8.

This one has the prompt “dream.” It’s a coincidence that I chose to draw a ghost during the month of Halloween.

This covers the prompts golden (the sun), dodge (I created a Dodge car), map (GPS to go with the car), and path (which is on the GPS and is also quite a bumpy path for the car).
