I'm working on a setting for my tabletop roleplaying games and this is exactly the type of stuff I pictured for my books !

Beautiful!

Is this ink or watercolour? How did you learn to create art like this, I’d love to learn this style!

Thank you.

Lines are done with a pen.

Shading is via a bottle of waterproof ink, a paintbrush, and water.

So in a way it's a watercolour, but all ink.

I hope that helps.

All learning has been through YouTube videos.

Thanks, that does help. I’ve mostly seen inks as black but the colours are nice here

This ink wash thing is new to me, and I agree. I'd only ever thought of black. However, this is a beautiful blue, and I'm staring down the rabbit hole, as I now see all the beautiful inks out there. Some are smooth and rich, others granulate, and are matte and muted. Too much fun.

The shadows on the mountain kind of look like a doll sitting down, at least to me

What is Inktober?

Inktober is a yearly art event intended to improve your inking skills. Every day, there's a prompt which everyone will draw with either ink on paper or digital inking

From the main site:

Jake Parker created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year.

What to do

The main two ways to participate are to draw daily like a marathon or every second day like a semi-marathon. The operative word being marathon. It doesn't have to be your best piece of art or even something you're proud of in any way. As the creator of this community, I know quite a bit of what I create will be absolute trash. I'm ok with this though.

This community

A daily post will be pinned at the top to round up each days work. One may either make a post to the community, or comment on the pinned post.

If you don't enjoy someones art and can't phrase any advice in a supportive way don't speak up. This will be strongly enforced with bans if need be. A dictatorship of kindness. You may, however, ignore this rule for any post made by @sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works. Please, feel free to insult me so terribly that I'll think about your takedown on my deathbed

  2. No AI-Generated work

  3. Submissions must meet the theme of this community Whether on paper or digital the creation must be inked. This means black and white with an ink pen or ink pen digital brush
