What Do You Do After Inktober?

[@MinecraftPony155]

The hardest challenge for me was to take a picture of the drawing before it gets dark outside

[@Angbwillinspireu]

That was my problem as well. The lighting in my house is like 19th c. candle.

[@Shesvii]

Relatable. Also colour correcting and uploading each piece to your media daily.

[@oxlion6163]

★Breezy Blue★ exactly! Me too

[@daijishinomori9161]

That was my problem, too, at first. I've since rigged up a fluorescent lamp on an adjustable lazypod over my workstation. So I can draw and take pictures of my drawing in a bright space, whatever time of day. Not as ideal as natural lighting, but it's better than nothing.

[@Phianett]

I actually started to feel a little bad about myself being just an "absolute beginner"/"casual creative". Right now, art for me is a hobby that I hope to one day develop into something more. I have a full time job, but I still manage to carve out a couple of hours at night to practice something. This is my second year partaking in Inktober, and though I have fallen behind both years, (full time job, family, life) I manage to catch up. I DON'T GIVE UP! And yes, I do celebrate when it's done, because I proved to myself that I can learn something new, improve my techniques, and create something, if not everyday, then damn near close. And when it's over, I'll go back to doing what I was doing before: creating something, if not everyday, then damn near close. :)

Good on you! I don't know you, but I'm rooting for you.

@@MDCampbell Thank you for your well wishes, and is my pleasure to follow you and learn new things from you, you always do a great job with your videos, and your Instagram.

[@mindofwatercolor]

What do I do after InkTober? I watch an awesome video by my buddy Mark Campbell that gives me sage advise, thats what! Excellent and something I actually hadn't thought much about. I confess I wasn't fully committed to the full 31 days but I did manage 15 ink drawings. More than double what I did for last year's InkTober. The time I needed to set aside for even that many was considerable. I love the idea of realizing I can carve off that time in the future for some other project important to me. Great video my friend!

[@MDCampbell]

Thank you, Steve. I admit, it's been a huge treat to see your work on Instagram during this challenge. It's been a huge influence on me and my own work, and I can already tell I'm going to be trying new things and new approaches, just based on seeing your work. This was sheer fun for me this year, and I never felt it was too much or burdensome until the very end (I've had some really annoying dental issues which are still going on, but which also influenced a few pieces in Inktober, too!), so finding time when I wasn't feeling 100% was definitely tough. Thank you so much for watching this one and for your kind, thoughtful words. Grateful for you, my friend. God bless! :)

[@mindofwatercolor]

@@MDCampbell Thanks my friend. Such a kind and generous comment. Your creativity, execution and follow through was definitely an inspiration to me as well. Both this year and last.

[@SolisScriptorivm]

Your line work is phenomenal!

[@TravisTraps]

Thanks for this... I was just wondering what November was going to hold for me. I completed my first Inktober challenge successfully, 31 drawings, 31 days, no bullsh!t. Congratulations to those that finished. You know the thrill, the pain, the despair, and eventual elation you faced as you met the challenge head on and came out the other side triumphant.

[@ScotCampbellwindowpainter]

I skipped it this year but I will always remember my 2017 experience. It was grueling because not only was I doing the drawings I made videos of each day, some of the videos were elaborate. It was a great experience however. Congrats on finishing each day! You are one of the most ingenious artists I know, so clever with an uncommon inventiveness rarely seen in any medium by any artist.

[@RICOFRITO]

Very inspirational Mr. Cambell! I drew every single day during the challenge for my channel! And I now have a half way filled book with inked illustrations, which I haven't done in a looong time, I mostly do digital. Now I can take my illustrations with me, out and about, and show it off to people! This challenge has developed good habits in me, and I can't wait for what the future holds!

[@LillySchwartz]

I started drawing again this year after many years of mainly doing other stuff. Since I started with a 100 day challenge I actually had to ask myself that question at the end of my challenge and I decided to just keep drawing with the goal of making a comic in the end. Inktober was part of that continuation and I pushed myself quite a bit out of my comfort zone with it. I didn't do the prompts, just came up with new ideas on my own every day and that was probably the most draining part. Normally I allow myself to work on drawings for several days, so I don't have to come up with so many ideas back to back. It was really fun though and I managed to make it to the end without falling behind. What comes next? Well, I continue with my drawing to do list - next month it will be mostly focused on character design. It's all fairly open-ended and my daily drawing routine is something that makes me profoundly happy. I definitely want to keep going in that direction. As for categories, I used to be in the casual group, although my skills were rather "'meh" in my own judgement. I thought of myself as a beginner, but quickly realised that this wasn't quite accurate. Turns out I am better at this than I remembered! After half a year of daily drawing I fit squarely in the last category and was well prepared for inktober! I think your observations were quite accurate and your message is spot on with this! I will definitely keep going.

[@maryellencookmeynig9034]

Thank you for sharing this video. I am a mix of all three. Drawing is extremely hard for me so most of my drawings look like a kindergartner drew them, but I am extremely creative and use that creativity in other challenges like ICAD and an upcoming daily art journaling challenge . I also use it, like you said, in cooking and other areas of my life. Now that I have participated in several different challenges, I get some of my supplies ready in advance, look at the prompt list, and wait with anticipation for a new one to begin. Thanks again for sharing. You have great observation skills and a great way of explaining what you’ve observed.

[@ColoredMud]

I love this piece! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, very interesting as usual! :)

[@jvm1960]

Oh my! Did this resonate with me? This was like my own conscience shouting at me, like it does every day, at every hour...I know last October is long gone and the next one is almost upon us but I only came across this video now and, honestly, I had never had anyone talk to me like this, so direct, so precise in so many ways, it’s almost uncanny! Huge respect for the artist and for the human being that can summ it all up so well.

[@madnesslives]

YESSSSS!!!! A new video!!!!! I've been watching and rewatching your whole playlist!

[@JenniferCharleeArt]

Great video and pep talk Mark! I have been refining my creative goals recently and feeling the need to value and prioritize my time better to be able to complete projects I have been putting off.

[@TheTinkerersWife]

Really appreciated what you shared here. My first Inktober here and was just thinking about this subject. Finishing the last drawing this evening and taking stocknof the direction I am headed in next. Your statementvat the end is excellent.

I loved doing Inktober so much, I want to do more, more, more! Thank you for your channel.

[@sketchingjohn1852]

Mark, this was a GREAT video. I love the idea of not racing to the next challenge, but finding the next major project, of deciding what's important artistically. I need to get serious about that myself and always appreciate the reminder.

[@MDCampbell]

sketchingjohn, thank you so much! I've watched your growth over the past year or so, artistically, and I'm sincerely amazed at your passion and dedication, which is so clearly evident in your work. I admire your tenacity and positive, subtle approach to every piece. To me, well, I think you already are pretty serious about your work, but only you can measure that, right? lol! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Looking forward to seeing what you do next in the year ahead! :)

[@daijishinomori9161]

I love your uncanny insights. I am totally of the second category, and do aspire to do something more with my efforts. Thank you for bringing voice to those aspirations. Hearing it from an experienced artist is certainly really helpful.

[@sketchwarrior3937]

I think I have made a proper progression the last three years of Inktober to moving forward with keeping a consistent project moving forward after it's all done. Thank you for this video, I think I will do just that.

Thank you for this video. Inktober was a great challenge, but also full of a mix of joy and frustration sometimes. My "after inktober" project is to make a book out of my illustrations. This is something new and, I think, a nice opportunity. :)

[@izthistaken]

I finished with 62 drawings because I did two prompts lists this year, and I'm so thankful I made it to the end. I think I have the technical skill of the absolute beginner, but the drive of the consummate professional 😂 I'm participating in Huevember to keep the ball rolling :)

[@suchatimeasthis1958]

All of Your drawings are fascinating and your videos are very informative, I really enjoy watching them. Tfs :)

[@ashleywolff9448]

That's a great point, I'm glad you said that! It's motivating to hear that you can continue on what you want to do.I pretty much failed the challenge because I'm still working on "Slice" even after October ended (better than what I did last year)...I'm totally the "creative casual"..so timing myself has been difficult . Though, I've always wanted to make animation clips or work on more videos on my channel with art. Since I don't have a studio, I can't make oil paintings after it's gotten so cold out, and I guess that's a part of what bums me out- along with not having inspiration, diversity of artists, and feeling tired from retail. After this challenge, I wouldn't mind continuing setting aside time on what I've been making that's small, and work on commissions when I need too. It would be a fun challenge that I need to stick too. Thank you for the video, it was inspirational!

[@essietangle9931]

Oh another dimension to the bucket list...good way to look at it. Really enjoyed your art Mr. Ink Man.

[@chriskatt]

After two trys inktober worked out this year for me. I'm so proud I did the 31 days. Also Inktober helped me to get into drawing again. I worked for the last years out of the creative field. This Oktober I began to study design. The challenge helped me to go back to the creative process and to start to share my artworks again. I hope and I will try to draw more after inktober. I've already started to plan out some drawings. It's a good feeling after such a long time without creating artworks.

[@PineapplePanda]

This was my first time completing inktober, and it was really fun and allowed me to practice shading. I would say I started out getting all ready, setting my supplies and getting my sketchbook ready. I was so excited for the 1st of October. I almost fell behind and ended up having to do a lot of prompts in 10 days.

[@mariakutsu5946]

Im so happy I completed this challenge! It gave me the opportunity to make so many fanart for a show I am into right now! Plus I got back into traditional art thanks to this challenge. But this is the first time I actually finished inktober thanks to the fact I do art part time as a job and my full time job requires me to stay at home. I was blessed with time and I learned to harness my creativity to even make a "bad" drawing. Yes, if you make one discipline, it can bleed to other disciplines. Like how parents always teach their kids to do chores---it teaches them not only responsibility but also discipline. I hope now I can compile my inktober fanarts into a mini zine to be sold at a local event in the winter. Nice talk sir. I loved your coffee breaks.

It's nice that you posted this video! I found the time that I had used for Inktober is now a good space for me to draw in general. I don't have to draw in ink but one of my charcoal pieces or commission work. No matter what (unless something takes me out of my physical space), I will use that allotted time to work on my technique and skills. Now that I have trained myself for 31 days, it's time to get down to business!

I think I learned so much within the last 31 days and I'm sure I could learn so much more if I'd keep on drawing and participating in a challenge helps me a lot

[@marielacristina762]

What a great video. I am finishing my first inktober/drawmystyle and i'm feeling great!!!! This new routine is one to keep for a long time. Greatings from Argentina

[@dianebishopdesigns]

Thank you for this video Mark. Last year I was asking myself this very question at the end of Inktober and as you know it led to me starting my 365 day challenge. It's been hard keeping up with drawing every day, I haven't managed to keep up to date with making the art tour videos because of work (although I do hope to catch up with them at some point) but I have learned so much and it's amazing to see that you can fit in the time to do something if you are committed to it. Today is day 306 and while I am looking forward to when I don't HAVE to draw every day and I can take a day off when I have too many other things on I still fully intend to continue using my time to be productive and make art on a regular basis even if it's not every single day :)

[@MDCampbell]

Thank you for sharing your experience, Diane. Your work throughout Inktober has been wonderful and I sincerely believe that you, of all people I've seen recently, are going to have the biggest benefit from the incredible dedication you have in investing time and passion into your work. It shows in both the spirit of the drawings you do and with the delicate hand you are able to create your work with. Your personality is all over your work, and that may be one of the hardest things for artists - especially those younger artists out there - to be able to capture. Unfortunately, my drawings often exhibit how weird my personality is, which is both good and bad, at times! LOL!! Cheers and I'm looking forward to seeing what's next from you! Cheers!

[@dianebishopdesigns]

Thank you so much for all your kind words. I don't think there is anything unfortunate about your work or how it can express the weirdness of your personality, lol! I love how quirky and unusual your drawings are. They always have a lot of personality and I can instantly recognise your style when I see one of your pictures :)

[@ekvaartis8952]

Most people do Inktober just to get some extra exposure. My first Inktober (2017) helped me to return to drawing (and not just talking about me drawing), it helped me to maintain the discipline to draw something regularly and helped me to realise how much I used to limit myself by trying to achieve perfection. I was really glad I completed the challenge. This year I stopped drawing for Inktober after few days. I no longer needed the daily push to get me drawing, I do that now anyway. And mainly, this year's Inktober was a distraction from my drawing rather than helping me to focus on it.

Great video, and your right! It was my first Inktober try in 3 1/2 yrs of sketching and painting! I wanted to challenge my self as to how well can I really sketch. No erasing in ink! I did a ship first, but your right, I lasted three weeks, but mainly because of death in the family , health =& other little things. But I should have kept plugging on. I did find out one thing, I am an artist, as what I did do I amazed myself and I gained so much more confin my art. I think it’s a great challenge and I’m definitely in fir it next year

[@hiltsyartnstuff1142]

I am going to learn to paint, Watercolor & Photoshop (something I have wanted to do for years). I didn't realize how depressed I was until I started drawing again and it made me happy, so I'm not stopping, and I can also work on a peace for multiple days now and not feel bad ;)

It's my third time anticipating Inktober. In 2016 did only 8 drawings. In 2017 it was 22 of them. And this year I've managed to complete it all. And a same time I refused to put my channel aside, so I filmed and composed videos too. But I should say, it made me give up on a lot things that needed my attention, desperately sometimes. I don't think I could keep this temp constantly. But I hope to keep a habit of doing art every day!

[@TheCrescentLune]

Hi, I love your videos! Sometimes I just put them on to listen whilst I draw. I was curious, I mostly use colored pencils & markers for color, but really want to try some inking techniques like you use. Was wondering if you, or anyone, might have suggestions about, What kind of ink do you use, what would you recommend? I often see India, Sumi, & Liquitex acrylic ink, but don't know what's best. What's best for applying, a brush, or nib/dip-pen? Also, do I need JUST the ink, or does it need to be diluted or mixed with something? Is watercolor paper best, or something else? I know that's a lot of questions, but I appreciate any advice anyone might have. :) Thanks for your great videos & advice!!

[@MDCampbell]

Thank you so much for your time and interest in the work I do here, shannon bryant! As for your questions about drawing or painting in ink, here's what I use on a regular basis: INK: Windsor & Newton drawing ink, Liquitex colored inks, Dr. Ph Martin's matte ink, and Rotring inks, and Higgins. PENS: I have a large variety of dip pens and nibs that I use ranging from expensive to cheap. BRUSHES: I have a selection of watercolor brushes dedicated just for ink, so when I clean them I can use harsher cleaners like alcohol. Also, diluting is great for getting thinner washes of ink, but to be honest, I rarely ever dilute. As for PAPER: I use watercolor paper for the toothiness of the surface, which I like, but I also use Bristol for the smooth surface, when the mood strikes. Basically, the best thing to do would be just make a minimal purchase, if you don't have these things already, and just start using them. It won't take long before you discover which products you enjoy and which you don't. For me, I don't enjoy using markers, but I have gone out and purchased some to try them. I'm still getting used to them after not really using them seriously for many, many years. It's an interesting challenge for me, for sure! lol! I hope this helps! Cheers! :)

[@TheCrescentLune]

@@MDCampbell Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out & give some suggestions. it was a big help, & I really appreciate it!!

[@HiyazXD345]

this video is coming up on a year old now so perhaps this is moot to say, though i do see at least one other recent comment so i guess at least i'm not the only one with an Opinion late to the game. but while i think the message of this mindset on the whole is helpful, and certainly well-intentioned, your examples of the pyramids, the eiffel tower, and harry potter aren't perfect and potentially counter to the point you want to make. the first two took thousands and thousands of people's labor, most of which was involuntary, and JKR wrote harry potter while deep in depression and poverty as a way to cope (plus there certainly wasn't social media and phones in the 80s/90s, at least not how we use it now lol). that being said, if we're going to roll with those metaphors/examples i think a big takeaway implied there is SUPPORT NETWORKS. you mentioned your facebook group, and how everyone encouraged everyone else. i think a lot of folks doing inktober, notably the consummate professionals, tend to isolate themselves during the month to do their work. even if they post to social media as they go, that's mostly one sided feedback and the audience only sees the finished product, not the struggles and labor that went into it. so having someplace to vent frustrations as well as sharing your triumphs is super duper important, and if i do the challenge this year i'm going to consciously keep that in mind because i haven't in previous years, and have yet to complete a full month so far. so thank you for that little jog in cognitive skills!! i have a lot of new perspectives on tackling this beast of a thing because of your other videos on inktober as well, and this was a good addition.

Really excellent reply, cubesprite. Yes, this is an older video, but I think it will still hold resonance after the upcoming Inktober challenge is over, again.
