Aw yeah!! Inktober is here and I am here for it! Now for those of you who don’t know, Inktober is an online art challenge where you post one ink drawing every day for the month of October. It’s a contest to motivate and inspire artists to keep drawing everyday. Not to mention that it’s a challenge to see how much you can improve in 31 days! There is a prompt for this that you can reference here (but I never do the prompts). This year, I am doing African American witchcraft inspired drawings. Hoodoo ( not to be confused with Voodoo) is distinctly African American in origin and is a huge part of our history in the south. Now…I come from a family with 3 baptist pastors so I understand why my mother never told me about this part of our history. However I personally find it fascinating and will be giving you some tid bits that I learn along the way with every drawing that I do!
I will NOT be posting my inktober portfolio on the blog until it is completely finished. Checkout my FB/IG/TUMBLR pages to see the pictures as they are completed throughout the month.
Happy Inking!!
