Inktober 2019

Inktober came around again, this time I was more prepared and actually made it to the end! (here’s last year)

In the spirit of “Inktober”, this year I tried doing some sketches in ink, but ended up doing a few digital too. Below I’ve also added the prompt provided by Inktober and my caption if I posted one.

It was really hard to keep a consistent quality of work every day, so some days turned out bad, and some I spent no more than a few minutes on… So for that reason i’ve omitted the worst! I don’t think I’ll be doing it next year, but even so I certainly did enjoy the challenge.

If you want to check out my other doodles, I post on @nrvdraws, thanks for reading ✍️
