Inktober Day 1

[amberdreams]

I just found out (a bit late) about this drawing challenge called Inktober. There seem to be several prompt lists so I might try some different ones, but this is the 'official' one from the guy who started it off.

For today I tried Fast. Yup, predictably, though it's not SPN, it is geeky. LOL

I thought I'd try doing this in my sketchbook along with my course work but the paper isn't great for ink, it's a bit coarse grain and absorbent. So I may have to use a different book for this one.

I just finished drawing my 'fast' batmobile from the 80's. I see this challenge every year and now I'm finally participating too. Love your drawing of the Enterprise. You just gave me ideas for future prompts :)

eee love that we both went for the geek-option! Where have you posted yours?

[sammycolt24.livejournal.com]

I haven't posted it yet, but I will post them at wedraweveryday. They're going to be small though, which will be a challenge in itself :)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Small is good. My nan used to say the best things come in small packages (she was 4 foot 10!). My new sketch book I'm going to use is only A6 size.

Boldly go! Love the way you have it in three frames. I like this list of prompts better than the one I tried last year which seemed to be all Halloween related. I gave this a crack too.

oh cool! Where have you posted yours?

[galwithglasses.livejournal.com]

Late last night on my page. It needs work but I always learn something from trying.

Watching Jake thingy's video, that's the main aim of this, to try things and improve. Here's to us!

oh, I love your drawing very much! ♥♥♥ I'm excited to see lots of art from this 'challenge.' I'm 'participating', I guess, but my thought was that I'd just do one random sketch in pen a day, lol. Nothing elaborate, and probably all boring, but, it's fun to still do something, ya know? Love yours though, and I'm looking forward to seeing what else you draw! :)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

this was pretty damn random, believe me! I'd love to see what you do too, where are you posting? I'm starting to wonder whether we should all post on wedraweveryday? Or start an LJ comm for it if there isn't one already... I'm so behind with this whole thing! LOL

[dancing-adrift.livejournal.com]

ha! Well, I'll be posting over on twitter (see Day 1 (https://twitter.com/Dancing_Adrift/status/782392706068733952) here), mainly because my drawings will be very quick and small - so sort of drawn in the style of a tweet, lol. I promise no more than 140 characters per drawing! XP

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

ha ha that's a great way to use an otherwise useless gift! Maybe you could do a weekly compilation post on LJ.

[dancing-adrift.livejournal.com]

hey, that's not a bad idea! :) Still need to post some wedding pics, too. So much LJ stuff to do! (But making posts is a project in itself, lol! Ah, coding XP)

[hugemind.livejournal.com]

YAY for geeky art!!!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Hee! Oh, did you see Jared's watch here?

I hadn't seen this, but that's his platinum Daytona which he seems to enjoy a lot. And why not - that ice blue dial is very pretty! :D

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

hee hee I knew that you'd know... :D

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

I'm loving that hun, also loving the fact it's geeky :D I may try this but I'd need some actual ink first O.o lol!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

you can always use biro!

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

And that's why I'm not gonna be taking over the world any time soon, distinct lack of brain power or thinking outside the box abilities ;)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I like drawing with biro, that's why it came to mind. In fact, I think today's pic will be a biro one.

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

*Grins* Looking forward to whatever it may be :D

[anactoria.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that's very cool. :)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[sillie]

Oooh, go you for doing Inktober. This looks great!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'm starting off with determination - we'll see how long that lasts! LOL

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

That is so darn cool, and I can feel that warp drive speed!!!!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much! I wasn't sure how this would work out so it's great that you like it.

Dean sat in front of his mother, watching the old television, entranced as Kirk and Spock outsmarted the Klingons.

His mother messing with yarn behind him would let out the occasional frustrated noise.

"Mommy, can I go to the Stars like Cap'n Kirk?" he asked earnestly.

"Well, we don’t have ships like the Enterprise, yet. Maybe we'll have them by the time you grow up. If we can land on the moon, surely zooming through the star isn't far behind," she said encouragingly.

Dean smiled and bounced as he envisioned zooming through the stars with the crew of the Enterprise.

(For the record, I love Star Trek and can very easily see Mary watching it while attempting to knit.)

:) Thank You.

This is great, I love how simple it is but instantly recognisable and I like the feeling of movement as The Enterprise boldly goes!
