According to Jake's website (www.mrjakeparker.com), "Anyone can do Inktober, just pick up a pen and start drawing."
Check out this Inktober Video to get a more in depth viewing of "How To Do Inktober!": Last year, in 2016, my artistically gifted husband, Javier Rangel, participated in #Inktober, by challenging himself to create an ink drawing each of the 31 days. This past October, Javier began to hashtag his ink drawings with #Inktober again, and I too became inspired to try to challenge myself to draw more! I have been drawing ever since I was a kid. As the years past by, and my education of Art and Art Techniques advanced, my drawing skills advanced as well. After studying Fashion Illustration in Fashion Design College, I began to fine tune my drawing skills in body proportion, drawing clothing details, and rendering human faces.

While participating in #Inktober 2017, I did not follow the given prompts by #Inktober's Official Website (shown above), but instead focused my illustrations primarily on Fashion! I mostly used recent issues of Vogue for inspiration, although there are a few sketches inspired elsewhere. You can find my illustrations posted on my Fashion Design Facebook page by clicking here.

 Inktober 2017, Day 31: Quick Sketch, Vogue Inspired I truly loved participating in the #Inktober Challenge of drawing each and every day throughout the month of October. I found it most challenging to simply find the time during my day to draw. However, as the days passed by, I noticed my rusty inkmenship and shading techniques improve, as well as other areas I drastically need improvement on! I have always needed more practice drawing woman's faces! Nevertheless, I hope that you enjoyed viewing my #Inktober Illustrations!

This sounds like a fantastic challenge! I love the idea of pushing myself creatively and improving my drawing skills. Inktober seems like a great way to do that, with the daily prompts and supportive online community. Plus, the fact that anyone can participate is really inspiring. I might just have to give Inktober a try myself this coming October! Leave a Reply. |
