inktober

every october, there's this thing called inktober, which is when you draw using inks for every day of the month. there are prompts given but it is not necessary for you to follow them, such as these ones from the inktober website.

i decided to actually try it out this year even though i can't commit to anything. i didn't follow the prompts though. instead i just drew what i felt like drawing and what i was feeling like that day, so it was quite therapeutic for me. i stopped after the third day, which is no surprise, because i had to focus more on my school assignments since assessment week is coming up.

the materials i used are: winsor & newton drawing ink in black, winsor & newton watercolours, a g-pen, uniball white pen, dr ph martin's pen-white white ink, dr ph martin's concentrated watercolours, a moleskine sketchbook & a moleskine watercolour book. 

i think inktober is a great idea since it motivates people to do more with ink and will help develop their techniques. i have not touched inks for a few months so inktober is a great excuse for me to play with ink around more. i would love to continue my inktober drawings if given the chance!
