This year as every year I was doing the character a day challenge in October. But this year, I have dropped off on Day 19 :( Every day things just got caught up to me and I couldn’t go on. It’s a big disappointment but I’m thinking to make my own challenge in December so I can finish my year with a clean slate.
I’m posting here, some of the characters from this October challenge that came out nice :)
My first Inktober! First set of 18.
Inktober! Characters from Oct 1st to Oct 9th.
Inktober! Characters from Oct 10th to Oct 18th.
Hello.
October is a Inktober month which illustrators and comic artists post a drawing per day.
I have never heard of it until my students at MICA told me last year.
This year I wanted to try.
My goal is to post a small drawing of character everyday on my twitter and Instagram (@ayakakeda) accounts.
It’s been a challenge, some days it’s hard to come up with a good character, but it’s all about trying and have fun. It is fun to come up with characters everyday and I am excited there will be 31 new characters by the end of this month. So far I am able to post everyday.
I’m using these Pentel brush pens below on my cream color sketchbook.
Those are my favorite tools to draw since I was in college. They are so smooth and easy to use and I can replace the cartridge so I don’t have to through away. Also I really like this RED! This red is a Japanese traditional red which has a tint of orange.
My inspiration of those drawings are “Fall”
I’ve been drawing a lot of Fall inspired food characters, long pants, and a little bit of reminiscent from the summer.
You can see all 18 of them big on the slideshow below. I will post the next 9 when Oct 26th hits ;-) Enjoy!
