Inktober is a drawing challenge started by a Utah artist named Jake Parker. Basically, it is to challenge artist to draw with ink, everyday, for the rest of October.
I have never really joined this before even if I had heard of it years ago. Why? Too busy, too lazy, to many excuses I have that doesn't really matter, because at the end of the day, I am 31 less of ink drawings..
But this year, 2015, I decided, why not? It really is a great way for me to practice my skill and creativity. It is a positive habit and a productive one to boot. So even if I am late in joining, I still pushed thru and started drawing.
:)
Here are my first Inktober drawings:
With these ink drawing, I tried to challenge myself with subjects I won't usually draw, (well once in a while I give in to the temptation of drawing something I really like *cough*sailormoon*cough*!
I hope me sharing my sketches will inspire you (dear reader) to also join us in the fun. It's never too late to pick up the pen and draw.
What did you say? How will you join?
EASY!!!

If you are asking what I use for these, I am just using my old Unipin 0.2 and a cheap calligraphy pen from Daiso Japan.
You can use whatever tools you want (brush pen, Liners, ballpen, nib pens, etc) as long as your medium is ink. :)
