Inktober 2020 was a lot of fun, but still one hell of a challenge. I’m glad this year’s really pushed me outside of my comfort zones. Allowed me to dip my toes into new subjects or ones I was out of practice with: Like extreme perspectives, landscapes, horror, romance, new characters etc. Plus always it’s good to be reminded exactly why pen and ink is my favourite traditional medium to work with. Given the wide variety of materials and methods of applying ink to paper and create the desired textures and effects. All the things I love to see in work done by professionals I look up to. I even had more coloured inks to try out. For that, and getting all 31 days done, I feel proud of myself. ‘Proud as I am, I can’t help but think my pieces at the start of the month are better than the ones at the end.By that time, I was eager to just get finished a couple days early.

The virus has made this an upsetting week and shot my anxiety through the roof. Seeing the group, seeing my old neighbour and being able to get two bottles of milk made me feel a lot better.

It's actually so cool to find another self taught artist from the North East. Your art's really good, I'm crap at graphic and comic drawing.

Thank you so much! Always good to find the others. Comics + Pen & Ink have always been big influences and my favoured traditional medium.

Welcome to my group
