MY INKTOBER JOURNEY - DAY 17 TO 19

Hello there! These are the last three drawings I made for the Inktober challenge.

It's a bit too late now to continue this challenge, so I decided I was done with it for this year. October and November have been very busy for me and I am still very happy with what I managed to produce for a first participation to this amazing challenge.

18 drawings in total, and I like them all. There are things that I would do differently if I were to restart it, but it taught me a lot about ink technique, and I really enjoyed doing this.
There is no doubt that I will participate again next year!

WINTER IS COMING!

Yes guys, this is the Norwegian flag!

The past few months have been very busy for me. I haven't been able to post articles as often as I would have liked. The reason is, I am preparing to move from France to Norway, to join my boyfriend!

I've been preparing my move for more than 3 years, and it's finally becoming a reality in January!

A lot of things are going to change for me.

It will be my first time living in a different country. I will probably need some time to adapt, but I know it's going to be great.

Also, until now, I have been working in an advertising agency. Once I have moved to Norway, I want to work as a freelancer and dedicate my career to my passion for illustration. So I will have much more time to develop my artwork, post more regularly on this blog, and I hope you guys will enjoy it! I have so many ideas in my mind and can't wait to begin this new life!

I think it could be fun to share my move and my experience of Norway here, so I'll probably take you with me on this great journey! :)

MY INKTOBER JOURNEY - DAY 7 TO 16

Some more drawings I did for 2016's Inktober.

MY INKTOBER JOURNEY - DAY 1 TO 6

I finally scanned some of my Inktober drawings!

As some of you guys know, I was very excited to start this challenge, because it was the first time I participated to it! 

For those of you who may not know what the Inktober Challenge is, let me explain quickly what it is all about.

Inktober was created by an illustrator named Jake Parker. He decided in october 2009 to challenge himself and draw one piece a day, only using ink in order to improve his inking skills and drawing habits. His challenge got so much success, that people started to do it too. Then it became a yearly event on Instagram, that everyone can attend to, professional or not.

I highly recommend visiting his Inktober official page to have a look at the archives of all his drawings, since the creation of this challenge. His artwork is very inspiring!

Jake Parker posted on Instagram the prompt list for 2016, that I decided to follow.

As I expected, it wasn't so easy to keep the rythm. 

One drawing per day is not something I am used to. Especially since I am working in an agency during the day, and only have the evenings to figure out what I am going to draw, and then, actually draw it !

We are now in November, and I am only half way. But it's so much fun to do it, that I won't stop, and complete this challenge, even though it's supposed to be over now. Next year, I'll manage better for sure !

Here are Day 1 to 6 (Day 5 is missing, I unfortunately couldn't find the time to do this one...) 

The rest will be following in the next article.
