I did it! October daily doodling done!

Yay! This is the first time I actually managed to complete an Inktober I started haha!

The secret really was to NOT FOLLOW any Inktober prompts and just draw whatever. There was no overarching theme to follow except for the daily practice, and there was no need to be precious about anything, be it the sketchbook, the coloring materials, or the ideas. And when I was getting bored, I stopped and just went back to it when I could. So there were some inspired drawings, some intuitive ones, and others that were just so-so, which I guess reflected my mood as I was drawing.

I’ve decided to continue this habit, and I’ve actually started doing my Tonique Bebe girls again in another sketchbook. It was a project I started during the pandemic but had not done in over two years. I’m trying different styles with the girls, while still incorporating Zentangle designs in the drawings. I’ll upload more of my old girls in the Images and maybe write about it too.
