Inktober prompt: blunder

3/20 Edited to

... Read moreParticipating in Inktober prompts like 'blunder' often encourages artists to embrace imperfections in their creations. For example, when drawing a character like Pokémon's Spinda, known for its distinctive and irregular spots, what might initially seem like a mistake can become the artwork’s highlight. I have found that allowing myself to experiment freely with each sketch relieves pressure and sparks originality. Whether it’s a misaligned line or an unintended stroke, these ‘blunders’ often lead to unexpected and delightful effects that enrich the piece. Using a Pokémon like Spinda is particularly fitting for the 'blunder' prompt because the character’s very design embraces irregularity and asymmetry. This showcases how the theme can be interpreted visually in a fun and playful way. For artists looking to improve, try turning errors into features and use them to tell a story or add personality. This approach not only makes your work unique but also enhances your resilience as an artist, teaching you that perfection is not always the goal—creativity and expression are.

Why I don’t use the official Inktober prompt list
Nope. Not for me. I don’t use the “official” inktober prompts simply because I don’t want to. I already have more ideas than I can ever execute within my remaining days on this planet. Why would I draw something that doesn’t inspire me and light me up? So if you are contemplating an October drawing

Peachtober 10: Critter
Day 10 was critter. Based on this one you’d think I was doing an inktober prompt or a spooky prompt. This was inspired by the 1986 B horror movie Critters. You see what happened was I didn’t love my sketch for critter so I googled critter and this weird movie came up. I watched it and decided that

First day of October means first day of Inktober and this year I'm giving myself a special handlettering challenge! . Rules for myself: 1. Everyday must be a new quote inspired by the official Inktober prompt list. eg. Today's word was "backpack", I went with a "baggage"
