InkTober Roundup!

I've been on Instagram for a few months and I just love it! During the month of October, artists from all around the world take on the challenge of doing one ink drawing a day. Jake Parker came up with the idea in 2009 as a way to improve his inking skills and he named the challenge InkTober. 

Let me tell you, it really is a challenge! It took a lot of discipline on my part to draw consistently every day (I think the last time I drew this much was before our daughter was born!). I've been feeling a bit rusty but it feels so good to be back at the table with my sketchbook and pencil (and in the case of last month, my ink brush!). It really is an ideal way for me to unwind at the end of the day! I hope to keep up the habit (you need 30 days to create a habit, right?!).

I've selected some of my favorite drawings I posted on Instagram from InkTober! I seemed to alternate among a few themes:

Halloween

Mermaids

Lunchbox Notes

Everyday Life

Animals and People

I actually still have to finish my 31st drawing (I fell a little behind because of preparations for Halloween!). If you'd like to follow along on my drawing fun, click here to check out my Instagram feed! For any inquiries about the drawings, please, email me!
