Why this community?
In 8 days inktober starts. I’d like to have a place were people can see others results and discuss their experience daily. After failing to find a community for this event I’ve created one myself. I’d love to hear peoples thoughts on how this should run though.
What is inktober?
Inktober is a yearly art event intended to improve your inking skills. Every day, there’s a prompt which everyone will draw with either ink on paper or digital inking. You may also dedicate yourself to a half marathon style Inktober by inking every second day.
To be discussed:
My suggestion is that we have a daily round up thread where yesterdays art is collected in one place and, if wanted, vote on our favorite piece to be included at the end of the month in a “community favorites” meta post.
Any suggestion on how this should be run, anything we can do to make this more fun, or something not listed would be greatly appreciated.
Want to help the community?
I’ll admit, I don’t have the most time. I’d heavily appreciate it if some of you would be willing to become mods so you can make the daily roundup post, pin it, unpin yesterdays, and update a list of these posts. Of course, enforcing the rules and cleaning up spam would also be kind but I understand we all have time issues
So is there a minimum level of quality required? I love to doodle but my art skills are atrocious.
The idea of a marathon seems like fun though.
Absolutely not thankfully. I’m in a similar position here personally which is why I love inktober. No matter your skill level, you’re always welcome.
To be clear that’s the case for the entire event not just this community. It’s quite a nice event
Thanks for the community, I was looking for the prompts but they haven’t been released yet, excited to see what people come up with !
As am I, there’s some amazing creativity on lemmy.
As for the prompts looks like they’re up now on this site: https://inktober.com/rules
Awesome thanks for the update !!
I’m excited. Have a new sketchbook. Microns, dip pens, brushes and inks, fountain pen, etc all ready. Black, brown and blue inks. BRIIIING IIIT!
I’ll try coing Inktober this year 😆
I’m excited to get as far as the ADHD will let me! Maybe it’ll be halfway this time!!!
I’ve got time, work from home, and I’d be happy to help if you need it / no one else has stepped up.
Uniquely suited I must say.
haha, nominative determinism strikes again!
