Urban Sketching, Inktober, Nibvember, and more…

Every job field has a skillset that needs to be nurtured. To take time and let loose; to grow; to experiment. Some of my favorite ways to challenge myself, to keep my mind fresh, to keep the hand-eye coordination going, and to experiment with new tools is to participate in a variety of drawing groups and styles. My favorites include: Urban Sketching – participating through a Facebook group that I admin, challenging myself through daily prompts to complete ink drawings (InkTober and NibVember), and to plein air paint with watercolor.

* Drawings that have words are very likely drawings of the prompts (as noted in the 2020 InkTober Prompt list image).

Note that I am not the creator/owner of anything Inktober or Nibvember and am not responsible for any creation of the drawing events – I am merely a participant that continues to struggle, year after year, to keep up with daily prompts over a single month’s challenge. Head to the internet or to Facebook and look up the events. You might just be motivated to sign up yourself!
