[Kitalpha Hart]

Anyone participating?
I'm posting them to my tumblr but here's the first two days since I ran late with Day 1 and so whipped them off real quick together:

Day 1

Day 2

I have a ways to go before I'm used to calligraphy

definitely intriguing....what is inktober?

[Kitalpha Hart]

Draw once a day in ink for all of October
There are prompts for each day too

And since Autodesk has teamed up, looks like digiart's allowed too, but generally people prefer tradart for this

aah, I wish my schedule (and wrist) let me participate in inktober. I learned about it last year, but was way late to participate lol.

Keep us posted on your progress!

[Kitalpha Hart]

Can do
I got a follower out of it so far ovo

[Kitalpha Hart]

Oh, Di, forgot to ask
Does your wrist prevent it entirely or would the 5k version, which is one drawing every week, be fine?

Day 3

[Diana]

cute!!!
I'm in the early stages of carpal tunnel, I guess, so when I draw or use a trackpad for too long my wrist and fingers hurt really bad for a day or few after. I've got a brace for my wrist now, and I've been trying to take it easy on my right hand to give it some time to recover, and I've also been working out different ways to draw. It's been really difficult to tone the usage down though, since everything I do (school, work, windlyn, various other hobbies) are really wrist-intensive.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Use your off hand? Or is that wrist affected too?

[Diana]

I'm learning to write with my left hand, I think it looks like I'm in 2nd grade now. haha
Our witchby hat April Fools item was drawn with my left hand a few years ago. I can do it, it just doesn't look nice lol.

My day 1 sketch is getting so many likes
Mostly cuz fanart

Day 4
I used a reference for his outfit

[Lemon Cheesecake]

do they have prizes for participating or is it just all for fun?

[Kitalpha Hart]

It's for practicing drawing with ink
And for consistently drawing in general
So the "prize" is a buncha art you've made

Day 5
Kinda breaking out of the story for this fanart
