Is anyone doing inktober this year or is it too controversial/commercial now?

I'm ready for it.

I have not followed what's going on with it since last year, so I don't know if it has become commercial / controversial.

I'll just do it exactly like last year, I see a topic that I can sketch, I'll do it, if not or if I don't like the word, skip.

Easy and relaxing that way :)

Ouch. I remember when it was just a thing. All corporate now, which just kills the fun for me.

Easy and relaxing that way :)Well for basically ten years it was a group thing, more of a movement really, but then the guy who came up with the idea suddenly trademarked the name and started doing brand deals etc. Fair enough, but I think a few independent artists got burned with take down notices, there was a bit of controversy. It went from beea fun community and self improvement exercise to basically free advertising for Jake Parkers new inktober 'brand'. However, recently there's been even more drama because his impending book (about inktober) has been pulled at the last minute to investigate plagiarism claims from another well-known artist Alphonso Dunn (his book is excellent btw) so we may or may not ever see Jakes new book.

I don't know, the whole thing has left a bad taste for me. I love doing the same prompts as everyone else because it's fun to see the interpretations, on the other hand do I want to give free advertising to a brand associated with stealing another artists work? Redd.it/YouTube/twitter as you can imagine have gone nuts with this. I'll definitely be drawing portraits in ink all October but should I follow the prompts or even tag inktober, that I'm not sure of yet.

For myself, I still crave the erasability of graphite and charcoal. But I'll be interested to see what others do with this.

Thanks for the summary of the situation for people who don't keep up with the news such as myself.

Wow, that's just a sad affair overall, there are several ways that could have been handled that will result in more favorable outcome, I'm sure.

Doing prompts is a very common method for encouraging creative interpretations, I'm sure we can come up with our own (like azkid said).

I have pencils, pens, inks and drawing paper available to use so may as well use them. I'm not going to get stressed by trying to think of something to draw for some of the daily prompts this year but will do what I can. :) Also, I don't tend to call any of my images #Inktober.

I have a copy of the official Inktober 2020 prompt list if you want it. Saves someone the effort of thinking of 31 different prompts.

I will participate in Inktober as the last years, and I will try to do the whole 31 again.

My sun will from today’s perspective participate at least partitially.
We saw in the last years (especially the last year) that it was really really hard to keep up and stay motivated beside school and other activities.
I want him to have fun with it and not transform it to a burden, so he will participate in those prompts/days when he is motivated to do so and skip the rest.

Regarding the other stuff
I don’t like and also not care about the commercialization that happens, I just ignore it.
Jake Parker came up with the idea of Inktober, but imho he is not „Inktober“ or the art spirit of it.
Imho he does not own the spirit of it, he might trademarked the term Inktober and related stuff and commercialize it, but as said, I don’t care.
I‘m interested in the art event and being creative together with many other artists in the world.

I know the videos of Alonso Dunn and I think he is a great artist, I considered buying his book several times in the past, almost pulled the trigger several times.
I also watched the video where he compared the similarities of his and Parker’s book.
But to be honest for me the critique about plagiarism is not that obvious.

These are books about basic drawing techniques, and of course the same basic things will show up in many of these books in a similar way.
Also Dunn did not invented pen drawing and light and shadow, different stroke techniques, shading, texturing,.....
And he was for sure not the first one who used boxes and spheres and eyes with arrows to illustrate it.
And of course listing up drawing pens will result in a very similar list including similar drawings of these pens.
Some times in his video I got the impression that Dunn thinks he has patented all the basics regarding drawing and nobody else is allowed to illustrate common basic techniques.

So at least I will not judge if the new book is too similar in certain aspects to the old one, yes I see similarities in some cases, and yes Parker might be inspired by Dunn’s book, but we are talking about basic drawing techniques and Dunn has for sure not the only right to use shading, light and shadow, gradients, boxes and circles.

If Dunn is confident enough to start a lawsuit, so be it.
It will not affect my attitude of the Inktober art event.

I agree with Ptero that no one can trademark the concept (let alone the spirit) of using prompts to spur creativity. This has been done in a million different ways over the course of time since people can communicate with each other.

Here, 30 prompts straight from a random word generator that I found in 10 seconds of searching online (9 seconds was spent typing the search query). :)

Let´s get it started. :)

My son and I are using this year Hahnemühle Toned Grey Watercolour sketchbooks with 200 gsm.

Last year we used Hahnemühle Cappuccino sketchbooks with 120 gsm, the paper held up well, but when it got really really wet it came to its limit (but for a 120 gsm paper extraordinary good).
So we decided to try the new Watercolour sketchbooks this year and I can already tell you, they are awesome.

Prompt: Fish

It's Britain and it's the weather - it's important! Also that wiki entry is not terribly accurate (shock) and technically it was actually Bill Giles' fault as he was the duty forecaster and failed to predict the track the front took correctly. Fish was stitched up like a kipper. ;)

Anyway, a disturbingly accurate portrayal of Mr Fish, Suzy. I wonder if you were (un)consciously influenced by the prompts for the 8th and the 17th. :D

I like that you're interpreting the prompts creatively. And that's an excellent picture.

Biros/ballpoints may not be of much interest in the fountain pen discussions here, but if the drawing is that good, I doubt that anyone cares how the ink got on the paper.:cheers:

Which reminds me of a painting on our wall by a seafarer who used what he had available; a board from a packing crate from the whaling station on South Georgia and ship's paint.


Noodler's Lexington Gray sketch (am definitely finding it a handy pencil-replacement).

Very likely egg sucking tuition, but fwiw a bit of judicious dilution and you can have different grades of pencil.

Enjoying all your efforts, folks. Wish I had the time and talent, but will make my contribution as appreciative audience instead. :applause:

Aha, I have it in a PenBBS medium where it isn't the wettest, so I can get quite a few different grades by pressure/speed. Default stroke is quite light.

Hey Christof, welcome to the party :)

Both inputs are great :)

I already missed you and your fish, still remember him from last year, there your funny entries were always a highlight.



Prompt: Bulky


This prompt was not as easy as the previous ones for me, I did not really knew what to draw.
But I think this is an important part of the challenge, that you can deliver also something for prompts you don´t like so much.

I didn't like this theme much either, and didn't want to draw a bodybuilder or a pile of luggage, so instead I made a pile of tea that is much bigger than the teapot used to brew it...

I love your creative inputs :)

Prompt: Fancy

To be honest, I had no idea what to draw with this prompt.
After thinking a while I thought about fancy features and gimmicks.

So I came up with a dude having a nuclear power plant on his hat powering the wipers mounted on his fancy glasses might be a fancy enough gimmick.

Of course the radiation exposure using this gimmick is quite high, so unwanted side effects like radioactive smoke out of ears, glow in the dark teeth and brain attrition might occur.

Therefor it is obvious that the manufacturer excluded liability on all possible risks and damages using it´s product.

But this is a little price for beeing that fancy.

Ok, time to choose a new primary ink color.
I´ve decided to change the primary ink color used after 4 prompts.

I´ve started with Diamine Sargasso sea the first 4 prompts, then used P.W. Akkerman Voorhout Violet for the next 4 and inked my fountain pen up now with Diamine Sherwood green.
I plan to keep this ink change rhythm the whole challenge.

Ok today I had a drawing accident.
My normal drawing setup is usually like this:
I have my monitor in front of me, on the monitor foot my keyboard stacked, and on top of the keyboard my iPad (used for reference photos) leaning against the monitor.

I drew and thought nothing bad, just wanted to grab something from the front under the keyboard as my iPad fell from the keyboard towards me.
Of course there were 2 open ink bottles, the Silbergrau and the Heliantus, and of course the iPad fell on them knocked them over and spilled the ink on my desk and my sketchbook.

Great....... my biggest ink accident in the last years so far..... but some time is always the first time.

Almost a full bottle Silbergrau and a half bottle Helianthus made some nice ink seas on my desk and the sketchbook......

Shit happens.......

Luckily I had a kitchen roll right next to me and I managed to stop the ink before reaching the edge of the desk decorating the carpet. :)

Ok finally I think the spilled Helianthus, Silbergrau on my today´s drawing does not look bad at all.
Think positive, it gave the drawing a different look than before, not necessarily a bad thing.

Luckily the damage on the sketchbook is not that bad, only a few pages are decorated with grey and yellow.

Let´s see how I can integrate the next page (almost full of ink) in tomorrows drawing. :)

Noodler's Lexington Gray for sketch, Diamine Winter Miracle and bleach for background. I'd intended it to just be ink and water, but also had an accident and knocked my sketchbook over when it still had lots of wet ink on it so it ran in lines... Hence the bleach! Bonus: Lexington Gray is not affected by it. The gold is sheen.

Prompt: Storm

Another 4 done with Toffee Brown in the last 4 days so time to change my color in my Pelikan.
The next 4 prompts will have Red Dragon as primary color.

Red Dragon is one of my all time favorite red inks.
But looking at the "Storm" drawing I think more contrast would have been better.

Prompt: Dizzy

To be honest, I´m quite annoyed by this prompt.
It was already part of Inktober 2019 and now it´s in again.........

Is it really so difficult to create a list with new prompts and not to repeat one 2 years in a row???

I disliked the prompt already last year.....
Anyway here is my new interpretation of this silly prompt.

Ptero, Chrissy, truthfully, I just follow the Inktober prompts because I love to see your (and others who participate, of course) interpretations and arts.
Plus the fun of doing something together with pen friends.

If the prompt is lame or worst, annoy me, I'll just gladly skip it.

Repeating the word from last year just shows laziness, which leaves me further unimpressed.

How about next year we come up with our own prompts? :)

I'm quite happy to just skip those I don't like. I almost skipped "Disgusting" this time.
The problems I see with choosing your own prompts is that someone has to do it and might get blamed for any "dud" prompts, and anyone can at least get some ideas from what others have thought of for the Inktober prompts if they are completely stuck for an idea. :)

Chrissy,

As I demonstrated in one of the post up there, all it takes to come up with 31 prompts is to use a random word generator. It may take some curation, but even with that, it won't take any time at all. Plus we are all pen friends here, if you don't like a prompt, just skip and move on, no blaming needs to happen :)

As for completely stuck on ideas, i get that it's a personal thing, for me, if I'm really-really stuck and can't come up with anything worth sketching, again, I'll just skip and move to the next one.

Anyways, not trying to debate you or anyone else on this, just a suggestion, that's all. :)

I like your "Dizzy", by the way. Reminds me of the Fallout Vault Boy (the shirt mostly).

Will, No worries at all, and it's a good idea. :) Curation could work very well. :)
Thanks for your kind words. :) I couldn't think of much for "Dizzy" and this was actually copied from a clip art taken from a small group of comic images of people feeling dizzy after a heart attack! I'm not usually any good at drawing something completely from nothing like others can, and prefer to attempt to copy something from an image on screen. :)

New ink today (changed after 4 prompts).
This ink is different than all the others before, because it´s a waterproof sketch ink (suitable for fountain pens).

I´ve drawn my son as a baby. :)

Prompt: Music

First I thought this is a difficult prompt, but then I had the idea to show dancing people enjoying music.
I always liked drawings/paintings in sketchbook tours where double pages were used, I think this is kind of cool using 2 pages as one canvas.
So I decided to create my own double page drawing..... and here it is :)

To be honest, I´m quite satisfied with the outcome and think this is one of my favorites along my own pieces in this inktober.

Time for the endspurt and the last ink change of inktober.
Diamine Twilight is gone and Rohrer & Klingner Alt-Goldgrün replaced it in my trusted Pelikan 400NN Brown Tortoise.

Looking at the prompt shoes the decision was clear for me, it had to be a high heel.

I know that these shoes are a pain wear and also bad for health (my wife also do not wear such shoes), but as a man they are appealing for me, they just look asthetic, sexy and elegant on the right feets ;)

@Voiren,
I‘m interested in your technique and would like to know more about it.

You wrote you use bleach.
What kind of bleach do you use?
As I understand there are many different kinds of bleaches out there.
Is it something based on chlorine or something based on hydrogen peroxide, or something based on calcium hypochlorite,....... ???

To be honest I have no idea what people (especially from the US) are talking about when they are say: common household bleach
I never used any kind of bleach and I also don’t know anyone who does, nor that here is something in the supermarket which is sold as “Bleiche” or “Bleichmittel” (German for Bleach).
So I think one could say that Bleach isn’t common in Austrian or German households.

Is your “Bleach” something to bleach clothes or a kind of chlorine based toilet cleaner, or something completely different?
Do you get it in the drugstore?

How do you apply it?
On the dry ink/paper or when it is still wet?

Doesn’t it damage the paper? (or will it eat up the paper over the next weeks/months)

Can you still write draw on areas which had contact with bleach, just like before?

Please tell me something about the process and your experiences. :)

Thanks!

If you look up Nick Stewart (https://nickstewart.ink/), this is basically his technique. (Heh, on his Techniques page he has a couple using Lexington Gray as well for the resist).

I use Sainsbury's Basics Thin Bleach, active ingredient: less than 5% Sodium hypochlorite. (Blurb: "Bleach can be used to effectively kill germs, remove stains, whiten whites and remove unpleasant smells from outside drains and wastepipes."). Yup, really cheap general cleaner, without the added perfume or limescale remover there tends to be in toilet cleaners.

I use a paintbrush that I only use for the bleach - it hasn't noticeably degraded yet. To get the spatter, I flick the end of the brush with a plastic pipette. Sometimes I might use the pipette directly to make bigger splodges. That's also only used for this.

Depending on how saturated the ink is and how resistant, you can get it going straight to white, or need to go over it several times and get gold or blue-silver colours before it reaches white. Or it might do basically nothing.

It doesn't seem to have long-term paper degradation issues - Nick might have posted about that as he uses it for paid art, but I seem to recall that bleach degrades reasonably quickly so doesn't continue acting. My pieces from last year look just the same as they did then.

Normally I wait for the ink to dry first before applying, but you can do it wet - it just might spread more where you may not want it! Yes, you can put more ink on top - again, works best if you let the bleach dry first, or it'll start bleaching what you were just adding. So you can add highlights and put a colour wash back over them. You might get a slight reaction if it was very saturated with bleach first - leaving it longer would probably help with that.

I like it because it works much better than fountain pen whites in most circumstances! Unless you used an ink that is unaffected by it.

In my brown notebook, it will bleach the paper a bit as well and make it whiter. Again, it does more if it was an actual droplet rather than a dryer brushstroke.

I‘m interested in your technique and would like to know more about it.

You wrote you use bleach.
What kind of bleach do you use?
As I understand there are many different kinds of bleaches out there.
Is it something based on chlorine or something based on hydrogen peroxide, or something based on calcium hypochlorite,....... ???

To be honest I have no idea what people (especially from the US) are talking about when they are say: common household bleach
I never used any kind of bleach and I also don’t know anyone who does, nor that here is something in the supermarket which is sold as “Bleiche” or “Bleichmittel” (German for Bleach).
So I think one could say that Bleach isn’t common in Austrian or German households.

Is your “Bleach” something to bleach clothes or a kind of chlorine based toilet cleaner, or something completely different?
Do you get it in the drugstore?

How do you apply it?
On the dry ink/paper or when it is still wet?

Doesn’t it damage the paper? (or will it eat up the paper over the next weeks/months)

Can you still write draw on areas which had contact with bleach, just like before?

Please tell me something about the process and your experiences. :)

Thanks!

If you look up Nick Stewart (https://nickstewart.ink/), this is basically his technique. (Heh, on his Techniques page he has a couple using Lexington Gray as well for the resist).

I use Sainsbury's Basics Thin Bleach, active ingredient: less than 5% Sodium hypochlorite. (Blurb: "Bleach can be used to effectively kill germs, remove stains, whiten whites and remove unpleasant smells from outside drains and wastepipes."). Yup, really cheap general cleaner, without the added perfume or limescale remover there tends to be in toilet cleaners.

I use a paintbrush that I only use for the bleach - it hasn't noticeably degraded yet. To get the spatter, I flick the end of the brush with a plastic pipette. Sometimes I might use the pipette directly to make bigger splodges. That's also only used for this.

Depending on how saturated the ink is and how resistant, you can get it going straight to white, or need to go over it several times and get gold or blue-silver colours before it reaches white. Or it might do basically nothing.

It doesn't seem to have long-term paper degradation issues - Nick might have posted about that as he uses it for paid art, but I seem to recall that bleach degrades reasonably quickly so doesn't continue acting. My pieces from last year look just the same as they did then.

Normally I wait for the ink to dry first before applying, but you can do it wet - it just might spread more where you may not want it! Yes, you can put more ink on top - again, works best if you let the bleach dry first, or it'll start bleaching what you were just adding. So you can add highlights and put a colour wash back over them. You might get a slight reaction if it was very saturated with bleach first - leaving it longer would probably help with that.

I like it because it works much better than fountain pen whites in most circumstances! Unless you used an ink that is unaffected by it.

In my brown notebook, it will bleach the paper a bit as well and make it whiter. Again, it does more if it was an actual droplet rather than a dryer brushstroke.

Thanks a lot for your detailed answer. 👍
I think I will search for a suitable bleach and try this technique out.

The last prompt for this Inktober.
Time to look back to my 4th participation in Inktober.
This year it was really easy and smooth for me to perform Inktober.
A perception I didn´t had the previous participations.
Of course there were days where I did not liked the prompt or when I was already quite tired in the evening or was not top motivated, but overall it gone very easy.

I also loved the new Hahnemühle Toned Watercolor sketchbook, It is the best sketchbook for wet ink washes I´ve used so far, and the first time I used both sides of a sheet without any problems.

This year I focused on widely monochrome pieces in Inktober, mainly 1 primary ink (plus white sometimes) and sometimes 1 or at maximum 2 additional colors.
This limited color palette forced me to focus on the avalable contrast and tone range.
I love using colors but also this limitation resulted in interesting results.
Ok, sometimes I struggled a little bit with this approach and wished to have more colors available, but it was a good exercise.

At least I changed the primary color always after 4 prompts and used a new ink.
Despite the ink attributes of the used inks were quite different I was satisfied and pleased with all the used inks. Maybe drawing alone with Red Dragon was a bit of a challenge because of the quite limited achievable tone range.

Used primary inks were:
- Diamine Sargasso Sea
- P.W. Akkerman Voorhout Violet
- Diamine Sherwood Green
- Montblanc Toffee Brown
- Diamine Red Dragon
- Rohrer & Klingner Lotte (the only waterproof ink used)
- Diamine Twilight
- Rohrer & Klingner Alt-Goldgrün

I also used the same fountain pen in the whole inktober, an awesome Pelikan 400NN Brown Tortoise from the 50s with a fine nib.
I consider the vintage Pelikan fountain pens of the 50s as some of the best pens ever made.

Looking back to my pieces there were some which I do not liked at all and some which I was very pleased with.

My favorite pieces along my own ones are:
- Slippery
- Armor
- Coral
- Chef
- Music
- Shoes
- Crawl

Inktober for me is not only an opportunity to improve and practice, it is also always an opportunity to look at pieces of other participants.
I really enjoy loooking at pieces of others, see how they work, their techniques and how they approach the challenge.

Thanks to all the other participants which participated the challenge.
I enjoyed looking at your pieces.

Overall I really enjoyed this inktober (also with my new approach), it was a much more relaxed one than the previous 3 I participated.
I´m looking forward to the next years challenge. :)
