So we are just about
halfway through this spooky month of October, and of the drawing month of
Inktober. I am a doodler by nature and
an animator by training. However, while
many who are gainfully employed will agree, it is difficult to continue to
create things on the side. And yet, here
we are on a crafting blog. Which implies
that I must create stuff. But it has
been hard to carve out the necessary time to create something worth
sharing. I haven't even sewn in about a
month.
That's where
Inktober comes in. I was inspired by my
animation bros and stuck with the puppy Halloween costume theme, where I draw
images of my dog in various guises. What
I like about it is it makes me happy.
The drawings are ridiculous and freeing in their constraints. It's always the same subject, but different
scenarios. Drawing is something I love
to do, and I am finally giving myself the time to do it.
The second weekend
in October, my sister and I went to Alternative Press Expo, or APE, which is an
independent comic convention that I've been to a few times in the past. My goal is to sometime table there and make something
worth selling. My goal with Inktober
became unlocking something good enough to show, and I feel like I may have a
plan with these drawings.
But wait, there's
more: I have been inspired to make more
stuff. I started needle felting again
and cutting out a new shirt pattern. And
writing this among other things.
So I recommend find
a challenge and run with it. And be ok
if you miss a few days, lord knows I did.
