Inktober 2020 - Who is joining?

[franzvanderlinde]

I decided to go with Drawtober after reading about it. The halloween theme is not my favorite but I like the pace of it, giving almost a week for each prompt and having some community highlights. This will help avoid the controversy of inktober and feel like I can complete this challenge!

I hadn't heard about this. Can you elaborate for me?

I watched this and another video covering the topic. I guess I'm just a little confused because the Inktober art book isn't out yet? They undeniably look similar, but isn't that because they're both tutorial books for the same kind of art techniques?

I wish they didn't postpone the book release. I would have liked to see it for myself to validate whether or not it was plagiarism. I don't take art theft lightly and I don't want to support anyone who does it, but I don't really have any way of knowing for sure until the book is out.

From the video it looks like Dunn has an ARC. You can get books before they're mass produced for review, finding typos, etc. Here's the video!

I've done it before, this will be my third year doing it, I've managed to do all 31 days twice in a row so I'm hoping to do so this year. Right now I'm also doing the Inktober 52 challenge as well

I really love doing Inktober every year since it's actually helped me improve on my drawing skills

I do plan on doing this year's Inktober! And I will combine it with the OCtober to mix up the fun a little.

Inktober has been a fun tradition in each year october for me, and don't want to miss it this year, controversy or not...

TBH I wish Dunn had made a smaller video sticking to the point. One hour video is hard to watch...

I've never been able to do Inktober because making a drawing everyday seriously tires me out. Due in part because I'm a student. I'd go at most 3 or 4 days and I'd drop it. There's also the whole controversy with the creator of the challenge, with the plagiarism and the copyright of Inktober.

I think if I would do a challenge, which is doubtful, it's probably something that isn't done everyday lmao.

[franzvanderlinde]

Check out Drawtober, it's a drawing every 5 days or so. Makes more sense.

I think I'm going to do it this year too. I started in 2017 and I have done 31 drawings every year, but I often fall days behind and end up completing it in November. I don't usually follow the official prompt list. I did follow it every 6th day in 2018, but I think this year I'm just going to draw a pumpkin every single day. I love pumpkins.
