I am grateful to the community of artists and illustrators I follow on Twitter, who generously share words and pictures of their work, their process, and their lives. Though I can’t aspire to their level of craft and professionalism, they provide inspiration that feeds my daily drawing practice.
I’m noticing how hard I lean on colors to make a picture ‘work’– I’d hoped to work only with black ink this month, but get near the end of my drawing time and don’t feel like I can pull it together without some washes of colored inks. At least it’s all ink.
I think I’m going to do Inktober this year (not following any prompts, but restricting my media for a month) so this gets a blast of color out of my system in preparation
