Pushing Our Creative Development (PLUS!! Inktober '21 Wrap-up)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 дек 2021
- At an early age we begin pushing our creative development through play, exploration, and positive reinforcement. But, can adults push their creative development to bring their work to a new level? I say, "heck yes!"
Whether we are amateurs beginning our creative journey or seasoned artists who have been at it for decades, without nudging our creative development even just a little bit, we will be caught in a repetitive cycle of creating the same work, over and over, without every breaking out.
By introducing a single change in the way we work, the tools we use, or the environment we work in, we can alter the course of our creative development by leaps and bounds.
ALSO in this video, I share my Inktober 2021 Wrap Up with you, and how I chose to push my own creative development to create a unique set of characters during the challenge and for 31 days get to intimately know them to finish with a cohesive body of work that I'm pleased with.

I love the Edward Gorey style art and the continuing theme for each design. So impressed you don't even look at the prompt word until the day of the prompt, then come up with a creative, detailed design and ink it... 31 days in a row! I guess you don't sleep during October, LOL. I tried Inktober for several years but found the process too stressful and wasn't happy with the quality of my work.
Triple quadrillion grossly good! So glad you have it book form, it warped my mind each day.
lol!! Thank you, my friend! I'm very fortunate for your kind support and words! I'm sincerely humbled! If you could see my face, I am wearing a big smile as I write this reply! Have a wonderful holiday season!! ~ Mark
Absolutely stunning and gorgeous sharing love your creativity and results turned out just awesome 👏🏻 thank you for sharing this beautiful work greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you so much for your generous words, Anjalfinearts! I really appreciate that!
I love this and I love your characters. There was one year out of the four that I participated in Inktober that I didn't have a theme, and my drawings for that year are all very uninspired. I find having a theme keeps me excited and motivated to work on the next drawing, and the next, and so on. I like the idea of creating a printed book each year. I'm making this year's Inktober drawings into a coloring book. It's a lot of work, but I'm really looking forward to the finished product. Thanks, Mark, for another great video with a useful message. I always look forward to hearing what you're going to say.
Another wonderful body of work, Mark! It was great fun watching your characters unfold and develop over the month and I enjoyed seeing all the drawings collected together here. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the importance of continuing to grow. You’re the best!
I really appreciate your feedback, my friend! Thank you! :)
Awesome work!!!! Super beautiful
Thank you so much for that. It really means a lot. Hope you are well!
I love the idea of getting everything printed into a book, great idea. This is the first year I completed Inktober, I had to commit about 5-6 hours a day. Thanks for sharing and the excellent advice.
Thank you Art By Cat Fitz! I understand, having dedicated _much_ more time on drawing this year than any other year before. But, in the end, I felt this year was well worth the effort! Thank you for watching and for your thoughtful feedback.
Great advice, Mark! Even for a golden oldie like me. You are a wise younger brother :-)
You made an awesome book. Your creativity is boundless.
Thank you, Diane! That means more than you know. I'm blessed to have you out there rooting for me. Have a wonderful holiday season!
@@MDCampbell You're welcome. If you were to go ahead and publish your book, I would buy a copy.
Really enjoyed the narrative that developed with the characters- like the neighbours of the Adams family lol. This was my first year of Inktober and I enjoyed it mostly, but next year I'm going to set some ground rules to make it more enjoyable.
Thanks for checking this out, Mark Begbie. I totally agree that setting some ground rules or parameters is a very wise idea. Of course, sticking to them is a whole other story! lol!
Congratulations, as usually fantastic work!
Thank you, Paulo Olivenca! Your support and kindness for ALL artists is deeply humbling and I'm grateful you choose to acknowledge my work. Thank you for that. I hope you and your loved ones are all doing well! ~ Mark
@@MDCampbell Thank you very much for your kind words my friend, I wish to you and all your family Happy Holidays or as we say in Portuguese "Boas Festas" Cheers!
Beautiful project. Your talk inspires me to keep going. This month I did my first botanical illustration after only doing studies of individual elements. It is such a wonderful feeling to have a finished project.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this, Meda Halmaciu! I'm so excited to hear about your botanical work. That is a field of study I've _always_ been interested in, but never pursued. I applaud you for indulging and employing your creative passion! Congratulations!! And yes, it IS a wonderful feeling!! :)
Mark, you are such an inspiration. Thank you for taking time to share your insights and experience. Wondering...will you be going for the 2022 Inktober challenge?
I'm touched by your kind words, Ann McCarthy. Thank you for taking the time to share them with me. I am preparing for the 2022 challenge, but I always go into it with the adage: "If it's not fun, then I quit." I will only do it as long as it is fun. Fingers crossed! Are you planning to tackle it this year? If so, I wish you all the best and fun! ~ Mark
Can't wait to see more of them. 🙂
Thank you, Moma B!! I'm working on it! I appreciate your time watching this one.
So, what's up with the blindfolded/ball-gagged character?
Kind of stood out to me in an overall innocent-looking (obviously slightly dark) concept.
You know, barring the cannibalism, kidnapping and child-neglect being depicted, lol.
He's a fan of the film "Pulp Fiction."
@@MDCampbell
Ah, guess I would have caught that had I watched the actual film. (:
Great work, nonetheless. Looks like a stylistically cohesive collection of illustrations, and the 'sparse'/accent coloring and rendering really adds a lot!
@@MsCroftTR thank you so much, MsCroftTR!! I really appreciate the thoughtful feedback on this. Stay well! ~ Mark
Mark, I love this video as usual. I need a copy of the ink Different. I know you made one copy. Can you make another one and send it to me. I will be very happy to pay all the expenses.
Wow, thank you, my friend! That is such a kind sentiment. Let me complete the project I'm working on and perhaps I will send you that. I am expanding on these characters in hopes to publish them. Fingers crossed! Thank you always for your support and generosity! ~ Mark (ps. if you are still interested in the book, send me an email and I'll see what I can do).
@@MDCampbell sorry for my ignorance but I didn't find your email. I real need to direct communicate with you.
@@ismailabdelhamid7114 sorry, too! If you go to my website, you can find my email there as well as a "Contact Me" page. I hope that helps! Thank you!!!
Your drawings are amazing. I really enjoyed looking at them. Have you considered publishing a book of line drawings for colorists to color or selling your line drawings as PDFs on Etsy? Thanks.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Shadow Guard. I have honestly never considered a book of line drawings before. That is definitely something worth considering! Thank you! ~ Mark
@@MDCampbell thank you for your reply. There are many very popular coloring books and coloring pages for sale. The most popular and famous artists I know are Johanna Basford and Kerby Rosanes. There are so many artists whose books cover a variety of styles. My favorites are: (1) ‘The Ink House’ by Rory Dobner; (2) R. J. Hampson has a number of coloring books; (3) ‘Busy World’ by Colin Thompson which currently I can only find in magazine form from Colouring Heaven (purveyors of coloring magazines from the UK which are shipped around the world); (4) Zoe Sadler has coloring pages for sale on Etsy. I hope a book of your line drawings is a viable option. All the best, Shadow. EDIT after I posted this comment I realized you might already know of the artists I mentioned.
