Admin Post: Community Check-In for September
Sep. 29th, 2017 03:57 pm
Did you get a chance to take part in any fandom activities in September, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you currently trying to meet a deadline? Feel free to share upcoming challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on.
Also, are you considering taking part in the Inktober challenge? If so, will this be your first time? If you've tried it before, what has your experience been like?

Date: 2017-09-30 09:07 am (UTC)That's the spirit! *high-fives* Same here too. *g* Both work and home life is scheduled to be super hectic in the 2nd and 3rd week of the month, but I'm ready to give it my best shot.
I made a list of uncommon myths, monsters, and creepy animals so hopefully if I'm feeling uninspired it'll be easy to pick one
Hey, that's a great idea! Especially since I know that there'll are certain days to come when I'm going to experience high levels of anxiety or be extremely drained, and I just want to turn my brain off - not usually the most conducive when it comes to producing art (for me, anyway).
I think I'll make an "Inktober Inspiration" folder consisting of:
(1) Interesting reference pics (especially with particular poses or lighting effects I want to try capturing)
(2) A list of ideas that interest me (like mash-ups, pairings, characters, creatures, etc.)
(3) A list of really easy drawing/warm-up exercises that the average child can accomplish in about 15 minutes (for my most taxing days, when I want to just get something out on paper, but lack the energy to brain.)
Thanks for the idea. :)
