InkTober – Week Three (Days 17 – 24)
Week three completo! Just one more week to go. I think I’m going to make it you know!
Once again to remind you, I placed the following limitations for each drawing I have done for this InkTober and will continue to do for the rest of them:
1/ Complete each drawing within one hour – This is to improve my speed at drawing, and become more decisive and fluid with my mark making on the page. I hope this will help me to be more rapid when hired for illustration commissions. Also I wanted to make the whole 31 day challenge doable… sparing an hour of my day is more than doable.
2/ Each drawing will be based around a particular figure, posture, and perspective – To improve my anatomy drawing further and also be willing to make bad drawing and learn from them.
3/ No visual source material, just rely only my knowledge of anatomy and perspective – a real challenge but also probably quite necessary to get stuff done faster. Letting go of any crutches, so to speak, no looking up images, just start sketching.
4/ Using pre-selected randomised themes each day (I wrote 31 ideas based on things I like and put them in a bowl to pick from each morning) – This is to test my creativity and think up something unique and quirky on the spot. I want to approach each drawing as if someone was telling me “I need you to draw something based around this theme.”

Definitely feel a growing of confidence in my knowledge of anatomy and foreshortening. I also feel a lot more decisive in my line selection and confidence in my pen strokes. This has come from having the time limit bearing down on my, ain’t no time to faff around!…
