Inktober 2021 – Week 1

I love drawing challenges as a way to commit myself to a regular creative practice. Inktober provides a daily drawing prompt every day for the month of October. Here are my first seven days.

This year I decided to combine my love of postcards with the Inktober challenge. The idea of finishing the drawing and then sending it out into the world, for someone to hopefully appreciate added a new dimension to me.

Day 1 – Crystal

Day 2 – Suit

Day 3 – Vessel

Day 4 – Knot

Day 5 – Raven

Day 6 – Spirit

Day 7 – Fan

Background

Inktober was started in 2009 by Jake Parker as a way to improve his own skills and practice.
