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.

Love your doodle a day project - they look great, across the whole month! Did you use watercolour pencils?
Inktober doesn't have to be more than that really, just with more emphasis on inking.

Thanks! It's a lot of fun, though admittedly I did have to play catch up in August when I was on holiday as I didn't do it every day. Yes, I used some cheapy generic watercolour pencils from Lidl. All of my doodles so far have been done with an HB pencil, an eraser, 8 watercolour pencils, a fine nibbed fountain pen with black ink, and a white sakura gelly pen. I thought it would be a fun challenge to use limited materials, even if I can't always get the colours I want exactly.

I did up to day 15 last year for inktober in bigger Merlin-related pictures. I'm still toying with doing that again. Mostly I'd like to beat 15 days before getting too far behind, lol
