That time of year has rolled round again: Inktober! The idea is that you make an ink drawing and share it every day, even if it just on your fridge. I’m posting on Instagram at #CarynsCreationsTX. There is more information at https://inktober.com. I’m following their prompts, but it certainly isn’t required.

Last year I drew something chicken themed for each prompt. This year I want to go minimal. I like art that is the hint and essence of an object. It is how I like to approach making logos, but I usually use Illustrator, so designing in ink pushes me out of my comfort zone. Taking the minimal approach certainly isn’t time saving, as each line and fill needs to be so much more precise, but it is turning out to be a good exercise. Before using any of these further, I would refine them in Illustrator, but again, the idea is to push out of comfort zones and increase skills. Happy #Inktober!
