Inktober is rough don't read the prompt list 0:26 I make digital art, mostly digital paintings. Follow me here: Instagram: / ronillust Twitter: / ronillust
I once hyped up me doing inktober on twitter and after a week I stopped talking about it, hoping that no one expected me to do more lol. That shit is tough!
Man this happened exactly to me. It is literally happening rn. I stopped at day 5 and thought I’d make up to it in the weekends. Weekends just flew by as if they were nothing
The way I’ve found of making it a non stressor and more fun for myself is to just combine prompts for every day I miss. It ends up with more interesting drawings than it would have been otherwise, today I drew an eagle crab 🦀
For real, I’ve never done Inktober but I’ve done magical march, and I followed the prompts of the year before, so I had all the sketches ready, I only had to clean up and colour, and even so it was EXHAUSTING
I was lol'ing really hard at your comment like "ahah no way" actually yes way, you Madlad went and animated each list item on your channel qdefeqedsfvd big kudos for the strenght. Telepurte ain't the only one able to pull through madness
This year is my first inktober Ngl the first few days of inktober were rough, mainly because of exams lmao. But so far, I've been doodling what was in my head and letting it run wild while learning from any mistakes I've done and how i can avoid them in the future.
I have been doing pretty much the same, I missed days 1-6 but I have been going strong since then! Although, I really don’t know what I’m gonna do for today. We will find out
I stopped doing Inktober after 2020, half because of controversy over the person who started it (and getting sick and tired of hearing about it) and half because I just don't have the time to do it between College and everything else.
For the tea seekers: basically the guy who created it tried to get inktober copyrighted and everyone lost their collective minds over it, and feared their art getting claimed by the creator. Also the creator said something kinda snobby about how digital inking doesn't count since you can just erase your ink lines while conveniently forgetting that white out exists for traditional artists
They can't, because November is NaNoWriMo, where all of the authors goes through pretty much the exact same process. It can't be extended due to convoluted bureaucratic bullshit. The red tape of creative challenge months is as dense as it is nonsensical, I'm afraid. We've got our best people going through the legal system to change this, but it's not going to be easy or quick. I'm sorry to say that, as it stands right now, you can't challenge yourself to draw a picture every day in November. It's just not legally plausible.
inktober prompts are so toughh. artfight is the one event that i'll probably keep doing every year. Getting art and seeing cool designs creates a really great inspiration loop that i find better at making me draw things outside my comfort zone.
My art teacher is forcing my class to do the entirety of inktober because we're all seniors and it's the most advanced art class we have since it's the final art class they give. I'm. So far behind. I don't enjoy the prompts too much, it's not on-par with my preferences so I never voluntarily do inktober. I'm not doing so well currently, I just wanna work on my actual art project :(
This year I’m finally participating inktober and I decided to make some changes to the original challenge that’s its easier to do each day 1. I made up my own prompts 2. Each drawing is only 2 square inches so it’s not as time consuming 3. I Limited myself to portraits because I enjoy them most 4. I’m sticking to a certain colour palette so the final product looks cohesive 5. I do a drawing each morning while drinking tea I admit this is making it less of a challenge, but it helps me stay motivated
This is my first year actively participating (I always forgot until like Oct 5th so it was “too late”). This year I remembered and I’ve kept up with it every day so far, but I’m not following a prompt list, just practicing portraits and using a gpen. The lag I have felt every night knowing I need to start my piece for the day is unreal
I wish so many artsy things didn't happen in the fall lol. I like drawing, so I do inktober. I like cosplay, so I craft a cool halloween costume. I like writing, so immediately after October is done, I do NaNoWriMo. I've learned to rotate my main focus throughout the years tho so I don't get burnout. No inktober for me this year, but I am working on a cool cosplay B)
I am still yet to join inktober and after my first artblock from doing a full painting each week while qt school I have realised how hard this would be. :/
Here’s just some of my personal experience, hope it’s helpful for someone looking to finish inktober. I gave up every year before as I was hoping to make some masterpiece out of my fried brain, but this year, my goal was to just finish the thing and see the prompts as warm up doodles that takes 20-40 minutes to get me draw every day. I’m still standing so I would say it’s working lol. This might not work for everyone but hope it helps!!
Lol, I've done inktober and MerMay twice (each). I liked MerMay a lot more because inking is the most tedious thing for me. With mermaids I can just leave it sketchy to my hearts content. XD Even then though, it was teeedious. Now that I have kids free time for personal drawings is a myth, so I don't do any of these kinds of challenges.
I feel this. Not just with art challenges but as an artist in general. I get creative burnout every now and then and when I do have motivation, it turns out to be low in quality
I stopped after day 7, Took a 3 day break and picked it back up, not trying to punish myself just have fun! (Also for the prompt ego I made it alter ego which was a lot of fun, I also did the prompts out of order based on what I found more interesting)
Yessss. I'm doing Inktober for the first time and this is pretty relatable. First one was good and simple. The next 4 were ridiculously detailed, then the next one was meh. The next few after that were also pretty high quality and I enjoyed them but today the prompt is "armadillo". I don't know how to draw an armadillo and I can't be bothered learning. All I have is a really bad 15 second sketch of a dumb-looking armadillo.
I don't really know the rules for Inktober, but I set a goal of making 31 ink artworks anyways just to get myself to draw more, even if I don't get it done within the october limit. That being said, I technically failed day 1 because I was in the middle of moving.
There are no rules, there is no failing. In past years I just made a point if drawing in ink at some point during the month without the list. I've also used the prompt list to draw with friends in private over many weeks or months. Or included many propmts in one drawing.
Lol you definitely captured the inktober artists! Every year I say I will do it, and I have only managed to do the whole month once in the last 5-6 years, and even then I had a few days where I was doing multiple prompts on the same day as quick sketches haha😅
On the other end of the spectrum, we got people like telepurte doing Inknuary, Inknuary, Inkmarch, Inkpril, Inkmay, Inkjune, Inkjuly, Inkgust, Inktember, Inktober, Inkvember, Inkcember
I don’t even do Inktober. Not only because I’m lazy, but after giving up on doing it, I see many heavenly godly arts that discourage me more and more from doing any art ever again.
I drew all the days of the challenge I’m doing in advance, I’ve managed to keep up with three 30 day art challenges now since last year. I got massive burnout last year after October last year so I’m awaiting my next bout of brain death
The best way to make it through Inktober is to keep your pieces small and simple. Save details for last. Plan and design ahead of time when you’re not busy. Time yourself for 20-30 minutes and stop when that time is out. Don’t forget that brushes are a thing for ink and can speed up the process. Try reversing out and do white gel pen on ink. Have your tools ready to go ahead of time so you spend more time drawing and less time preparing to draw
I think the problem artists have for inktober is that they think that every day needs to be better or just as good as the last You could literally do something simplistic for all days, something that challenges you but doesn't take up too much time leading to burnout
Participating in Inktober for the first time this year, and after two weeks of keeping up with inking, I can say I understand why is it followed by a no Nut November. My hands won't be able to do anything for another month
Thanks for telling me not to read the prompts. I had a huge laugh. Through trial and error since 2017, I learned that I *need* to have a backlog or else I won't finish. I got halfway through 2017 before giving up. Four days into 2018. In 2020 and 2021, I just drew the whole thing in advance.
I combined several prompt lists this year to ‘spice things up’ and i’m also largely using the month as an excuse to try out experiments/styles I’ve been itching to do so that I can do something fun with the extra restrictions. It’s been going surprisingly well but it's prob helped that i’ve kept up a nearly every day sketching streak for a few months prior.... but if you told me at the start of the year that I’d be this determined to finish.... 😅
This is why I’ve never joined it lmao. But surprisingly I found out that I have the mental capacity to do it by doing a character themed inktober this year, I still haven’t missed a day
Damn, this is so accurate, man. I participated in inktober for three years. Year one I lasted for 10 days, year two - 9, year three - 15. The last one took a toll on me, got burned out and for months wasn't drawing as frequently as I used to. So after that I decided to stay tf away from inktober, this sh*t ain't for everybody.
i didn't even try this year. The only inktober Iv'e ever finished was the very first one I did in 2018 I think. It's really hard to pull though when you get a serious case of The Lazies™
Something that I find helps is setting a hard time limit i.e. one hour for each drawing. It forces you to draw faster but also not over commit to each individual drawing

They were crabby because their eagle partner forgot their anniversary
This is my tactic but I've straight up just combined whole prompt lists. It keeps things interesting 👌
Ooh I'll have to do that lmao
Yeah I never liked the prompts, I usually go goretober because that's a thing and at least it's general enough that I can actually draw something

@@kawaiic418 Thank you
Every single artist ever is now just spamming skull emojis, both to represent inktober and their fading Desire to draw each day
They should make inkvember, for those of us who spend all of October going “I should’ve done inktober this year”
They do have year-round weekly prompts after Inktober
there's huevember
They can't, because November is NaNoWriMo, where all of the authors goes through pretty much the exact same process. It can't be extended due to convoluted bureaucratic bullshit. The red tape of creative challenge months is as dense as it is nonsensical, I'm afraid.

Felt that one to my core
I wanted to do inktober but decided to just draw something everyday in different art mediums for October so I don’t stress out to much.
As a person who is *kinda* participating with Inktober, I am trying to catch up with the last four days including this one.
This video on loop is the life of every artist that tries inktober
I did a music version and this happened to me basically exactly at day 15 (after already missing a bunch). Super accurate. Can’t wait for next year!
