Are You Up for an Art Challenge?
October is a key month for the art challenge known as Inktober. Daily prompts for the month of October created by artist, Jake Parker. I’ve participated a few times and had immense fun each time. This particular challenge grows worldwide every year…it’s a challenge and it’s fun! It’s also a great way to improve your skills.
But if you’re not the inking type, what’s an artist to do?
Well, initially I wasn’t the inking type either. But I saw the great stuff other artists of all levels were posting and I couldn’t resist. And even though I have my fair share of artist’s pens and even artist quill or nib pens, I’m much more comfortable using ballpoint pens. It’s still ink, right? I’ve seen artists using alcohol inks, drawing inks, Copic markers, and even watercolor and ink.
But what if none of those floats your boat?
My answer to that is…who says you have to wait for Inktober? Google drawing prompts and you’ll be inundated with prompts to last you a lifetime!
The only thing you have to figure out is what the art challenge will be. I’d humbly suggest that if you’re not the inking type, then there’s a challenge right there…
