Here we have it, the last Inktober drawing that was completely finished in 2016. This is how far I got before I just couldn't keep up anymore. I think I'm already doing better than I was then, I'm faster at drawing and better at getting the corresponding blog posts published. I hope that's the case anyway, because after today, there will be no more drawings from last year to fall back on...
I searched and searched but I couldn't find any photos of the making of this drawing. I doubt that I didn't take ANY but there's a very good chance that they're on one of my old phones. I think I changed phones twice in the past year... Without photos it's hard to remember much about my exact process in creating this piece but I do remember drawing it while sitting in a cafe XD I drew the figure without reference, so it's not bad considering, but I think I could do a much better job of it if I were to attempt drawing the same pose without reference now. I've just been soaking up human anatomy and perspective like a sponge recently. It's like what I've always aspired to be able to draw is finally sinking in. I'm sure next year I'll look back and feel like this again; I hope to always be improving throughout my entire career!
I hope everyone is doing well with Inktober so far! Remember, if you start to get overwhelmed, consider dropping down to drawing something every-other-day, only on your days off, or even just once a week. The point is to exercise your inking skills intensely, so if a daily drawing is too much, just do what works for you while maintaining a sense of regularity!
