More Inktober
This month has been super inspiring. I've been having a ball working on these ink drawings daily (well almost daily; I missed a couple). Here are a few more. I'm thinking of opening an Etsy shop and selling some. We'll see!

These ink drawings for Inktober are so much fun to create! I really love working with ink. Ink and watercolor are something I really want to get more into. I feel like my whole outlook on making art has been changing the past few months (well probably since IMC). I'm really interested in a different style than anything in my portfolio right now. I will have to create a whole new portfolio eventually with the kind of work I like to do now. And I'm still figuring that out...
Here's a video I created of one of the Inktober drawings. It was a pretty quick and fun video to make since I didn't have to speak in it (yay!). I screw up a lot when I have to speak. I hope to make more of these!

Inktober
It's Inktober! I jumped on the bandwagon a bit late (hadn't even heard about it before) but I did 3 ink drawings the first day to make up for it. It's a lot of fun so far! I have been interested in doing more ink work and more traditional work in general, so this was a great opportunity to get motivated and jump right in.
I'm trying to free my mind and draw whatever I want without thinking too hard about it. My creativity sometimes gets killed by over-thinking things; For example: Would other people like this? What should I have in my portfolio if I want to illustrate for X or Y? Maybe I should have more of this or that in my portfolio, it has to be PERFECT! (and it never ever is)... Those kind a things.
So, none of that!! I will just draw whatever is in my head at that moment. I think this will give me a better idea of what I really love to draw because I have had trouble figuring that out.
Here is my arsenal: various pens, markers, and inks. I love the look of toned paper with black and white ink. I also bought a couple "fancy" inks, one in gold and one that has an iridescent green shimmer to it. While I was at IMC in June, I bought a Winsor & Newton Series 7 Sable brush and I can't say enough how much I love it! It is a little pricey but it should last for quite a while. You can paint a line that is about a centimeter think to as thin as a hair with it, no problem.

I'll be posting them all on my Tumblr.
