I’ve done the Inktober drawing challenge for three years in a row (if you’re curious, you can also see my 2018 and 2019 posts). The creator of Inktober, Jake Parker, was even kind enough to recently come on my podcast and talk about it 🙂

When I first started Inktober, it was a bit of a lark with a big self-deprecating wink. Over time I’m actually noticing improvement as well as receiving spontaneous feedback from others that I’m improving. It’s a pleasant development. I’m not saying I’m great or anything, just getting better. Who knows what next year will bring? I’ve even bought some art pens.

Jacktober Day 19 – Mother Box

Comics artist Tom Scioli ran “Jacktober” this year instead of doing Inktober. Each day was a prompt related to Jack Kirby. I did one day of this with the mother box prompt. I think it was the first time I’ve ever tried to draw kirby crackle and it was fun to do.
