Jaik: Yeah I"m practicing too... it's all over the place - different pen, no theme... Wish I can come up with a theme to string 'em all together for just 1 month.

Heya all, just an inspiration post of someone who blew my mind (and continues to) a while ago:

If you haven't seen Sergio Toppi's stuff: http://tinyurl.com/n4cpgy9
If I wanted to have a goal for inking, I would want to ink like him. His page layouts are amazing comps as well.

Another great ink-er in the science illustration field is Trudy Nicholson!

[Amit Dutta]

I don't know. Maybe a tinkerer entry for the chow haha.

[Jaik]

Really liking that piece, Ultramarine! It has a very eastern feel to it.

Anyway, here's my quick Inktober endeavour for the day. It's a drawing of the yokai Nuppeppo, a harmless creature said to be composed of decaying flesh that inhabits graveyards at night. I wanted to be much looser and create a relatively "controlled but messy" kind of look.

Official start of Inktober and what do I do? This blob. Need more planning and less inspiration.
