This has been my first completed Inktober too (or any other challenge btw) and what I have made different this time is having the list of all prompts decided from day 1.
I’ve changed some subjects last minute, but in general, not having to think what to draw, find references, etc… in the same time slot I have for sketching has been a game changer for me.
I hope you do it! I discovered your work thanks to this Inktober challenge and I’m sure more people will do it too next year. It will be amazing if this tip helps and you can do it with less stress :)
As far as rejects. I’ve got hundreds of them. A director when picking an artist is like when you pick up food for the 4th of July. If I’m having a weenie roast I need hot dog buns not hamburger. And I like the taste of potato based buns. So the hamburger buns are perfectly fine but not needed for the picnic. This is how I view rejections
I listen to my heart when taking on month long challenges. For me I never discover anything until months later and I use it more like a mini boot camp. It’s how I learned 3d modeling and backgrounds (dedicated a month to them). The biggest lesson is efficiency and consistency for me when doing them. It’s hard for me to work them in these days
Oh man, yeah it’s great for learning. I did 30 days of Blender and 30 days of backgrounds (PleinAirpril). Most of it was absolute crap but I learned so much.
These drawings are too cute!

I like that … yeah if I do this again next year I plan to have all the sketches done by beginning of October… it will save me so much time 😊

Haha 🤣 I never thought of it that way before…

Good to know I am not the only one who uses them to try new things 😊

Maybe next time I will use them to try out some animation apps … your work has definitely inspired me to try more of it for fun 😊
