Is anyone doing inktober/drawtober this year?? - Lemmy.World

I usually do a couple days of this before giving up lol, anyone else going to try it out? Any good prompts lists you’ve found??

Not really applicable to my art medium*, but I have thought about doing a modified challenge. My thinking is 12 entries (based on 4-per-week for 3 weeks) which gives more freedom for timing and prompt choice. Aside from being easier.

* 3D+vertex colors (Blender), used in Godot.

___ I have my own palette and can paint in grayscale (and then multiply the color twice per node in Godot) but that is sort of a stretch. Still tinkering with the workflow though, the basics are for sure there but a lot of the methods available are tedious if I need to change colors/material names. Unlikely to get help on that, though.

The beauty of Drawtober is that you can kinda just do whatever you want! My old art club at a comic shop was called “draw club”, and it was intended to imply that you were drawing on your creativity lol. We had people writing, doing blender, etc. So yeah…do a fun challenge of your own!

Sure, I was mainly highlighting it as it’s very non-standard even for 3D. Not good for motivation that I don’t expect much activity here (at least for me). That, and obviously I don’t have much relevant to say to other posters either.

I’m not even new to it but Blender isn’t even really my thing (not that I have an alternative even just for this niche), so that will be its own challenge getting into the swing of things. I may try some very basic tests with newer stuff (grease pencil, geometry nodes) just to see if I can even get meshes (+animations?) imported to Godot as I expect.

Side-note, image hosting is also an annoyance for me. I would like something that allows saving+editing alt-text (for copying markdown), plus upload organization.

There’s also [email protected] :)

Feel free to cross post back and forth between them

Inktober - sh.itjust.works

# What is Inktober? Inktober is a yearly art event intended to improve your inking skills. Every day, there’s a prompt which everyone will draw with either ink on paper or digital inking ## From the main site [https://inktober.com/]: Jake Parker created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year. ## What to do The main two ways to participate are to draw daily like a marathon or every second day like a semi-marathon. The operative word being marathon. It doesn’t have to be your best piece of art or even something you’re proud of in any way. As the creator of this community, I know quite a bit of what I create will be absolute trash. I’m ok with this though. ## This community A daily post will be pinned at the top to round up each days work. One may either make a post to the community, or comment on the pinned post. ## Want to mod? Feel free to contact me if you’re up to help mod this community. ## Rules 1. Be kind Constructive criticism at most. This is a strictly positive community meant to keep a habit for a period of time. If you don’t enjoy someones art and can’t phrase any advice in a supportive way don’t speak up. This will be strongly enforced with bans if need be. A dictatorship of kindness. You may, however, ignore this rule for any post made by @[email protected] [/u/[email protected]] [https://sh.itjust.works/u/sorrybookbroke]. Please, feel free to insult me so terribly that I’ll think about your takedown on my deathbed 2. No AI-Generated work 3. Submissions must meet the theme of this community Whether on paper or digital the creation must be inked. This means black and white with an ink pen or ink pen digital brush

ooh thank you!

Now, what would be the proposal for the challenge, since it's a variant of Inktober? Still the daily/every other day challenge, besides what's already in the community description?
