Inktober 2018

It's over! I finished all 31 days of Inktober. This year, I used the official Inktober prompts list to get my ideas, but I also added my own layers to the challenge.

First, every drawing had to be of a female character, usually being something weird or different than just a normal human, like a robot or an alien, but still have charm and appeal. Second, I drew them all on 2.5" x 3.5" artist trading cards. These are small! At first I thought it would be easier and faster to just draw something small instead of spending all day filling up a sketchbook page, but that kind of backfired on me since drawing so small took patience and precision. But having a bunch of finished cards all together like this sure does look cool, and I'm happy to say that I made it through the entire month finishing one card per day on time and without missing any. You can see everything as it unfolded on my Instagram www.instagram.com/sykografix/ and my Tumblr sykografix.tumblr.com/ , though I did make a few minor corrections on some of the entries shortly after taking the picture.

My favorites are the Gem Girl for day 16 (Angular) and the axe-wielding girl fighting evil trees for day 24 (Chop). Which ones do you like?

Here is the 2018 prompts list. The cards I drew are in order starting at the top and from left to right.

To all my fellow Inktober warriors out there, congratulations. We did it! I'll be happy to check out the Inktober experience of anyone who comments below.

Sayonara, Inktober!
