Inktober 2021

[AmandaW]

So... who's attempting Inktober this year?

 

Somewhere around here I have a sketchbook begun some previous October, in which I only managed a few days, so I'm thinking I can turn the page and make a title page with an embellished "2021"... and not even need to buy anything. In theory.

 

And to make it easier I'm going to choose a theme up front so I don't even need to think what to draw. October here is peak time for Spring roses so I'm going to pick one each day and draw that.

 

If you struggle likewise, how about: the things on or in your desk, the kitchen, your morning coffee, a monster, your shoe collection, your pets, a daily selfie...

I'm thinking about trying it again.  I did it a few years ago and posted the drawings here on FPN, but the last couple of years it hasn't worked out time-wise for me, the way I always try to make time for NaPoWriMo in the springtime (although this year has been so crazy I had to double check to see if I even *did* NaPoWriMo for 2021 -- I couldn't remember... ).

The complications this year are that I'm traveling a lot this month -- Chicago Pen Show this weekend, and then a memorial and burial service for my husband's two late brothers' ashes -- and that I haven't gotten the new laptop to talk to the scanner and printer (and vice versa).

Is this a necropost?  I realized I never posted my inktober challenge, which I actually completed most of with fountain pen inks, last year.  Here you go, FP people!  I have closeups if anyone wants to see anything in particular. XD



and the one not included, but part of the effort, was I think "Crispy" or something and someone asked me to draw bacon, so I did:
