D'Kid has me committed to doing Inktober this year

https://inktober.com/

Do any of you folks participate, or have you done so in the past? I was gonna do it last year, but I saw "Oh SHIT! There's actually PROMPTS? Like you HAVE to do these words? Fuck that; I'm out"

I think I've mentioned that I've been struggling with a near-paralyzing case of artistic block* [as far as pens & pencils & paper goes, that is; I'm writing fine, thanks] Performing to an assigned task right out of the gate was a bit overwhelming for me. I've been doodling around a bit lately and even posting pix now & then, so I feel I have gained a little bit of confidence back. This may be the beginning of a return to form, who knows?

I especially like that Jake uses running metaphor in his intro

Note: you can do it daily, or go the half-marathon route and post every other day, or just do the 5K and post once a week. What ever you decide, just be consistent with it. Inktober is about growing and improving and forming positive habits, so the more consistent you are, the better.

INKTOBER 2019 is coming!
🖤
This will be my 11th time doing it since starting the challenge in 2009. I can’t believe how big it’s become and the effect it’s had on some people’s lives.
🖤
This year I’m planning on doing another BIG piece with characters on it. Still deciding what genre to do (I’ve done fantasy and sci-fi so far) but my heart is saying do it in the SkyHeart universe.
🖤
I’m posting the prompts on Sept 1 on the @Inktober account. But the people on my email list get it a week sooner. Go to mrJakeParker.com to sign up!
🖤

Wow! That's amazing to me. I could never draw. My daughter can draw and paint, and I've had artistic friends and it always blows me away. My talents lie in other areas. At least that's what I tell myself. I had one buddy in college who would just do a caricature of the person he was sitting across from just eating pizza or whatever. On, say, a napkin. And it would be amazing.

Post more of those!!

Looking at your art in the morning just got my day off to a wonderful start. Thanks.

The link takes you to Jake Parker's IG - not mine, sorry

He is the creator of InkTober, and yeah, he's really good

Email from Jake this morning with a sneak peek at the prompts, but there's a caveat ...

Quote:
Please keep this to yourself. The list won't be shared publicly until September 1.


... so I won't post it quite yet

I will say it's gonna be fun and honestly the prompts are not THAT challenging [last year there were prompts like "Guarded" "Cruel" and "Swollen"]
