At the end of September, I impulsively decided to take part in Inktober (and Peachtober – but that’s another post) this year. I have a goal of getting better as an illustrator – and there’s no better way than to make more art!
I love drawing, but the first week was hard. I needed to really look at my capacity to create around my responsibilities. By the second week, I found a more steady rhythm. I traded sleep-ins and late-night doom scrolling for planning and executing A5 pieces of work. It soon became a welcome place of meditation and quiet during my day. I also reset my own expectations for the pieces to enjoy the process rather than try and produce perfection.
I actually don’t know if my inking skills are getting any better, but I’m building a (hopefully) sustainable art discipline to work from.
Anyway, here are my illustrations from the first 15 days 😀
