InkTober 2016



Do-Something-Everyday, October 6, 2016

If it is October then it is InkTober on social media. I  heard about InkTober for the first time last year. It was created by Jake Parker in which every October artists all over the world take on the InkTober drawing challenge by doing one ink drawing a day the entire month. He "first created InkTober in 2009 as a challenge to improve my inking skills and develop positive drawing habits". 

 I decided to join in this year and here are three of the six I have drawn so far. The top one is an inky doodle I did while on conversation with my daughter on the phone. The two below are illustrations that I took undertook in the true spirit of InkTober which was to improve my botanical drawing skills, especially herbs and vegetables. You may or may not recognize the vegetables below as they are more commonly used in Asian and African/Caribbean cooking. If you do, please put their names in the comment. 



Thanks for visiting. Linked to Paint Party Friday. Thanks to Eva and Kristin for hosting.

    As a lover of veggies I'm taken with your black ink on white drawings. Well done. The colorful doodle is fun too?

    So cool to meet someone else doing Inktober! Are you using markers, liquid ink or something else? I made my own list of themed prompts this year http://bit.ly/inktoberff :)

    Your doodle is gorgeous - much more than a doodle to my eye:-) LOVE your okra! Beautiful and effective shading.
