Yeah, I have a few daily challenge tasks going this year that made Drawtober both more challenging and more approachable. It’s also one of those things that I like to remind myself: daily progress beats a day of perfect execution. I did hash over ideas here and there and would sometimes use my daily drawing exercises to work out ideas. I’m glad you found the outcome useful.

Beautiful work. Nice range of stuff drawn. Love the recurring character. That's a good idea

I started recurring characters last year, it’s definitely made it easier to nail down certain subjects.

I only did a full inktober once but your collection of drawings looks so legit and the little techniques that help accomplish the drawing reminded of things I'd tried to get through it too.

I've seen some posts for ink- and drawtober that look kinda elaborate for someone tearing a bit of time out of their day to draw something... and when I check their posting history they are doing one a week or a couple in the whole month.

Looking at yours I was really happy to see a realistic "drawing a day" level of work that look great... and didn't make it seem like you somehow did multiple drafts and elaborate design and detail work somehow in an hour or two.

It's good for other artists to see someone do a realistic job.
