Inktoberfest - The Aftermath

Inktober 2017 has completed, and I'm happy to say that I've made it through unscathed.  Where in the beginning, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to keep up, by the end of it, it had become part of my daily routine.  I found that it really tapped into just how creative you can be, outside of drawing of course.  I mean, a lot of these words provided were so vague, but that also worked to your advantage.  Being creative means having no boundaries, and most certainly for some words, I really had to find a creative way to convey those words ("Poison" is definitely one that stands out for me).

Though I mostly just sketched my way through each day, I don't regret putting a small bit effort, compared to how I've seen others have.  I came to realize that it isn't how fancy your drawing is... just draw and follow the rules.  If it was based on how fancy my drawings ended up, you can certainly see when my good days were.

My friend and I who were keeping each other accountable each day were discussing our plans moving forward.  I may not have the same dedication for drawing each day after Inktober, but it certainly has made me realize that I would like to improve on my skills.  It has reminded me how much fun it is to draw, even if mostly on your own terms.  And there is certainly something to be said about drawing on physical media, compared with digital media... the fear of drawing something permanent without the luxury of the "Undo" option.  I love it :D
