Inktober 2019

Every October, artists are encouraged to participate in the Inktober 2019 challenge across social media. This challenge includes daily prompts that artists can interpret for their own medium in a way that makes sense for them. While I’ve watched many artists participate over the years, I decided that this year I would participate.

Over the last year, I haven’t sketched as many designs as I’ve wanted to. I choose to use this challenge as an opportunity to stretch my creativity. And to help make it a bit more productive, I dug into my stash of stones to try and design to those stones so I could finally utilize the supplies I have bought in the past.

The end result was better than I expected. I found the different prompts challenged me and my creativity. The more I drew the better the sketches were and the more interesting each design became. I ended the month with a few ideas that I'm really excited to create.

I'm excited to continue this challenge next year and even more excited to see the designs I created in metal.
