Inktober 2018

I cannot draw. I am an abstract painter. I'm good with color, design, lines, patterns and shapes. I keep telling myself it doesn't matter that I am not a strong illustrator. My sketches are my own style . I participated in Inktober this October on Instagram.

Inktober is a challenge to do ink drawings for all of October. Utah illustrator, Jake Parker created Inktober. I thought it would be fun and a great way to practice drawing.  It was a challenge to find time to do each drawing, post it.  I really did learn from this practice. I learned about ink pen options and about hatching. I liked seeing other participant's work and learning how to draw from seeing other work. I was surprised by my ability to come up with ideas each day.  Here is the prompt list & my drawings.
