inktober Days 1-8, and a question

[minoanmiss]

Over at my journal:

Days 1-4 and Days 5-8

Also, a question.

I came up with an idea for a prompt that would involve a recursive image. I use my computer to create recursive images, and IIRC computer composition is against the rules of Inktober, isn't it? Or is that just computer correction? Do you think I should draw the recursive image, or leave the idea for a time that is not Inktober and draw the other idea I had?

Thanks for advising me. :)

I think you could do it if you wanted to because Inktober is after all a time for experimentation and everyone adapts it a bit to his need or want: it is not set in stone and nobody will hunt you down if you want to work on a recursive image ! ^^

But on the other hand, using a computer does feel a bit off and doesn't really fit with the spirit of the challenge!
Maybe you could handdraw all the recursions? That would be interesting!
Or if you have time you can do it, not count it as part of your inktober and do an other drawing that day...

Thank you a lot for your advice! I don't think I can draw the recursion by hand and have it look good, especially with the tools I have, so I will hold off on recursive art till a different challenge.

I agree with the above poster, in that I think Inktober was meant to be hand-drawn art at the very least, whether you use a paintbrush, ink pen or a digital pen.

You are certainly free to create the computer composition of recursive images, but I think it should be done independently, rather than under the category of "Inktober" art. :)

Also, please note that our drawing community itself (drawesome) is for posting drawn art only, both traditional and digital.

So as I said elsewhere... this is the advice I needed. :)

I thought I should give a link to the kind of recursive art I make, which definitely is drawn art: https://minoanmiss.dreamwidth.org/76389.html That kind of thing would fit with this community, right?

(I apologize for your seeing this twice but I thought I should make sure I asked this here.)

No problem. :) And yes, this type of art would be acceptable at the comm.

Also, if you're ever unsure about what might or might not be acceptable to the comm, it would be a good idea to include a work-in-progress pic with your art post, showing the original drawn version of it, before parts if it were digitally altered/ repeated.

Oh that's a fabulous idea! Thank you so much for it!
