Today marks the start of Inktober, a daily ink illustration challenge running throughout October each year. I took part last year and it was incredible for pushing my motivation to create and for sparking new ideas (I'm currently working on a series of comics based around The Falconeer above!).
So, if you'd like to take part (and I really suggest you give it a go at least once!) take a deep breath and commit to one drawing/painting/scribble in ink each day in October and post it on Twitter, Facebook or wherever you like with the hashtag #Inktober. If you don't want to take it so seriously, no problem, but you might fall in love with it.
The full collection of my Inktober drawings from last year can be found here, and a summary of everything I learnt, enjoyed and struggled with is on my blog here (worth a read if you're going for it!).
Go and have some messy, inky fun.
This is such a relatable post, especially the part about getting lost in admin work and forgetting the creative side. Inktober really does sound like a great way to reconnect with creativity and build consistency. Even if you cannot fully commit this year, dipping in when you can still counts and keeps the momentum alive. It reminds me how balance is important in every field, whether it is art or academics. Many students feel the same pressure while managing deadlines and often look for support like Cheap Dissertation Writing Services Uk to stay on track. Wishing you the best with your upcoming projects and hope you still enjoy a few creative moments.
