Thinking about doing Witchtober this time because of all the Inktober controversy. Witches are my favorite so that's an easy one.
I somehow completed Inktober last year. I want to continue that completion for this one XD. I hope. XDXDXD
I think he just trademarked it? But still, seems like he didn't mention to anyone about it until after the fact
Many, including me will be skipping the hashtag inktober, but as i do love that challenge i will still be doing it but using different tags and prompts.
Here is some really fun different challenges ive found that i probably will be using as my inktober prompts and ive read some using #drawtober as a tag instead so might give it a try

I wasn’t sure about inktober but I was planning something for it. I was gonna recreate the Simpsons NOLA tour clip in comic form with my OCs
Clip in question:
It's really a shame about the whole Inktober copyright/plagiarism mess, I never finished the challenge but I liked using it as an excuse to break out my pens. I never even knew who started the whole thing until all the controversy came up, and it's disappointing to see it get ruined for so many people because of one guy. I feel like even using the hashtag would draw criticism now because it'll be misinterpreted as some kind of show of support for that dude.
Anyway, I might attempt OC-tober but we'll see how much free time I have around then.
I'm planning on doing inktober but after all the plagiarism situation I will definitely not be doing the official prompts nor using the inktober hashtag. I was also thinking about doing daily drawings during October but not posting them, and wait until November to use them for the Huevember challenge. Previous years I've never had enough time to draw an color the same day, so this could work for me.
I ll be joining this year again. Hopefully this time ill be able to keep it up til end of octobre. However I am not sure if I want to do the schedule of jake parker. Do you guys know any good other lists with a good community to share and discuss your works?
I've never done it because honestly it feels like a lot of work and I'm kinda lazy, lol. And now that the creator of the hastag is coming after inktober participants with his lawyers I'm not going to. Love the art, though! Ink and the creative ways pepole use it is always fun to check out.
Last year I joined OC-tober instead of Inktober and I actually enjoyed it more! But this year I may do Drawtober instead, since it's just 6 prompts and I never finished all the days anyway lol
Could someone please explain the plagiarism situation to me? I hadn't heard of it until just now, and I'm kind of lost.
Jake (inktober's creator) screwed it up for everyone by plagiarizing the book of a black artist. I had already made my own list this year (all about my novel) and completed it last month. I am just doing my own hashtag and such, but its very painful to see Jake is screwing over so many artists.
1) It's the LAST day in August- a little too early to be worrying about October...
2) I've never done Inktober before because I'm too busy working on my comic or other art during October. Why would I want to stress myself working on an inked piece everyday for 31 days? I'm trying to get to the zone where I'm not stressing about doing/completing art PERIOD...
3) Then some goober goes and copyrights the term...that makes me want to participate even less, coz motherfuckers always fuckin up the fun aspect of a thing by trying to copyright some shit to claim ownership and trying to monetize off the ownership of said event meant to be for fun for people.
From I've heard, people are putting together a "promptober" of sorts to replace "inktober"- that'll be under the exact same idea to use prompts to draw in ink, but will of course open up the floor to writers as well since they use ink..... I haven't looked too much into it myself but it sounds a promising alternative.
I think someone referenced this youtuber before on the forums but I can't find it. I did have this pop up earlier today in my feed and thought it was interesting. A lot of drawing advice and writing advice is to draw every day, but what people mean is to just practice and practice better and if you don't you won't get good. This guy does a good job of outlining and explaining it. Since "inktober" is initially founded on the idea of "draw a complete thing each day for a month!" I thought this would be informative.
