Great video explaining inktober to a newbie. This comes at a perfect time for me as i have been wanting to up my abstract watercolor art with drawings. Yes, keep it small, simple and have fun. At 70 I don't need to compete with anyone just admire.

Thank you. I hope you find it rewarding and fun.

Fantastic. Thank you. Reigniting my art journey after doing "life". Now it's time to do something for me. Too shy to share, but will follow the prompts. 😊

Good luck on your challenge. The act of drawing will have you improving regardless of posting. But you may find that you will hit a few out of the park and want to post, that might start something new.

Great advice. This isn't a competition. It's skill building fun. I do small basic 15 minute ink sketches (with humor when possible). If I want something more detailed, I'll do it after day 31. I just like to play with the prompts & just my pens ... & have a bit of fun.

That is great. I struggle with adding to much detail, or keeping my idea simple. I am traveling and as a result already behind. But I am trying to catchup, simple would help. Mark

I'm all excited to do Inktober again. Back to basics this year.

[@WeTalkArt]

Yeah, I am planning to do the challenge simpler this year. Thinking of just working with fountain pens… or fude… or… well simpler anyway.

I also have done Inktober previously and have yet to finish the full month. I’m giving it another go this year. I’ve already started planning my drawings so that I am ready to start inking each day and won’t lose time trying to decide what to draw that day. Thanks for the lovely, encouraging video!

Sounds like you have a good start. That is a good idea to think out your ideas before hand. I think I will try that. Enjoy your challenge. Thank you.
