so my inktober from last year kinda fell through, so let's try it again this year! I want to try to do multiples in a day to get around my working schedule.
with that said, this is a piece of an anthro quilfish I've drawn only a few times before, currently out on lunch with a peer. said character is normally pretty slim, but can expand (or be expanded) to great sizes.

Hmmmm.... not that I need to consider any more painting apps, but what do you use?
Also how do you ink? I feel like I know, but I probably should ask before attempting this (because I've kind of wanted to take part in inktober....if possible. I have a growth drive I'll upload later on if nothing goes wrong ^^')

I'm using a personalized version of the inktober brush set made for sketchbook pro, which is and probably will remain my signature choice for digital drawing software.
and the process is a bit hard to explain, but basically after doing a sketch of what I want to ink, I'll fill out lines and details with my various brushes, my main strategy as been to largely stick to just black and white, and only create mid tones through hatching and other inking techniques.
I've also been training myself to embrace the roughness and imperfect look of the brushes, a lot of them are grungy and don't make a mechanically perfect line, but it's those imperfections that create texture and give the piece it's character. I also try to do this with solid black areas, where I fill them in with a grainy brush and leave a little bit of grain in there for the sake of texture.

Huh, well I have some experience with other apps from the developer sooooo I think I'll stick with what I have, but good to know.
And as someone whose self-taught, most of that flew over my head XD I can work with black and white though. It seems like it's basically sketching and drawing lines, but with no colors. I've got some inking brushes, so maybe I'll use this month as a time for experimentation (need to draw more anyway, and this feels like it would make me focus on an area I struggle in)
Also.. would you happen to know where this list of Inktober themes is?

here's the prompt list for 2020 https://inktober.com/rules
and to phrase it more simply, I do a rough sketch, typically in a standout color like red or something, and then on a layer above it I start doing lines and solid black areas and such.
