(or goretober and all the other versions you wanna do)
I'm very hyped this year. Last year was a fail for me with only two pieces but maybe this year I will do better. I still need new copic liners (those are my favourite for inking) but hopefully I'll get anything I need before October is here. :3 It will most likely be a "OCtober" for me again. I love drawing my characters.
I did Inktober last year; this was when I was first starting drawing and had no idea of what I was doing. I actually did the first 5 days of Inktober while I was camping, and all I had was a black felt tip pen. After the first five days I got a fine liner and that helped me a lot; I ended up doing my own prompts with my own characters mainly since the prompts didn't work with me. I had a whole sheet of them (No idea where they went). I was really surprised when I got through them all.
I think some of my prompts were stuff like 'Pariah, Hero, Villan, Rabbits, Alone, first prey, clan, etc'. I believe I did a couple of my characters for the first couple, but for rabbits i drew the spirit rabbits from legend of Korra.
This year I'm gonna be doing the same thing; I'm planning on drawing a lot of images for my OCs who don't have that many images. Instead of paper and ink I'm going to be doing digital, since last year's images have never seen the light of day outside of deviantart since they are low quality images.
Since I'm really busy this year, I may make inktober into like October/November. Meaning I'll be doing a prompt once every second day, giving me two days to do it. It'll be more OCtober than anything else; I enjoy drawing my OCs rather than other media.
(this actually reminded me to start putting together my list for inktober, thank you!)

Sounds nice! ^^ ooo and thanks for mentioning digital. Completely forgot about that it can be done digital also lol. Hey maybe I mix. :'D
Doing every second day is actually a pretty nice idea! And definitely more chill. Noticed how you feel pressured quickly so this will make it better. I actually also kinda did that before. Or did 3 in one day because I felt extremely motivated. (And so that I can take 3 days break xD)
And same here! I actually only enjoy doing an "OCtober". Because any other media is kinda boring to draw? And at the same time your characters get some art :D

Last year I definitely did several in one day to make up for days I just couldn’t draw; so one every two days will hopefully give me that chance to catch up!
Yeah any other this is pretty boring for me; I don’t ever draw fan art and rarely others OCs unless it’s a part of a WL thread or Artfight. It’s definitely more about the characters than the fun for me. Inktober last year allowed me to develop characters more than I would’ve without doing it. Lumetur would never have existed without it.

I'm kinda scared... I made a promise to myself that I would complete thirty things (all random, some art related some life related) before I turned thirty... Inktober is one of them and I only have this october and next october left to hit that goal...
My problem is usually that I start strong and then something happens in life and I get a day or two behind, then it just all comes crashing down. I'm hoping for a smooth october, but it looks like I might end up being REALLY busy with life stuff (and maybe moving out of my state finally!?!?) but I'm just... ugh.
Second problem is usually the prompts... I find like 1/3 of them inspiring, 1/3 confusing, and 1/3 just totally uninteresting. i know I can do any prompts (or no prompts) but I REALLY want to do the "official prompts" just once in my life.
Sorry, didn't mean to type that much but honestly whatever css you have on your profile makes the font I'm typing in so cool and I just ... want to keep typing... okay srsly what font is this I love it

ohh trust me I know this issues too well >-< I think it´s best to not put too much pressure on yourself. I´ve definitely done this and ended up giving up a lot quicker. If you only finish a few, hey, that's fine too. But I understand the disappointment you feel when you know you didn´t continued :```) I almost always found myself mixing promts or coming up with random ones. Because some from the official list really arent that fun and some confusing like you said, which is also kinda demotivating. But I wish you luck <: and I hope you still have some fun participating
and the custom font I put in the textbox is called Gloria Hallelujah

I really like it as well, feels like handwriting :D

I wanna do goretober, but make it as heavy and realistic as possible. My motivation dropped after 2 days last year, and was similar for the past years before that. I'm hoping I can get at least more than 5 days this year lol.
I might make my own goretober sheet though...

uhh sounds great! I´m a fan of gore. maybe trying it out as well. I mean I always wanted to but never really did.
I feel the motivation part. Motivation can drop so fast, even if you thought you will do all days on day one or two. :`)

Was excited to do the inktober thing but heard about the plagiarism they had going on and stopped trying last year, not going to even think about it this year.

Ah right. There's was a thing going on. Honestly I just want to draw daily ink drawings for fun. I don't really care about other stuff or drama tbh. I follow my own random prompt list anyway

Oo care to share a link?

You mean to a prompt list? I don't have one. I meant that I draw a random theme every day. Which I decide on the day I draw it.

That's nice too! :D hope you have fun! I actually managed to do 2 years in a row as well but it was 2017/18. Both years were super fun and easy. After that it was too much for me for some reason :'D

I miiiiiiight do goretober (because I keep failing it every year- XP) Or I might end up doing something more low-effort like some sort of sketchtober! :Oc
2 years, 8 months ago
Oh sounds nice! ^^ completely forgot about sketchtober tbh, Sounds more relaxing. Might give it a try when I feel like laziness and demotivation kicks in :'D
