My Inktober 2020 Challenge

 This year, i’ve decided to join the inktober challenge for different reasons, such as:

  • Keeping consistency with my drawing
  • Being more pragmatic in the ways I generate my ideas or in other words, being more methodical or finding a system that allows me to have a better fluidity in the way that I develop my illustrations thus avoiding getting an artistic burnout
  • Practice drawing my Pareidolia exercise character "Brushman" interacting within certain environments as well as practicing drawing the character
  •  Holding myself accountable in terms of respecting deadlines whilst keeping a good standard of drawing
  • Putting into practice what I've learned thus far in the OCA illustration sketchbooks course

Some reflections:

Before I started, I had conflicting thoughts about starting the challenge or get on with the sketchbooks course, Halfway through the challenge I decided to use characters made during part 3 like the Brushman and try to gather ideas for the final assignment to keep it as meaningful and to stay "on task" throughout,
