Inktober 2022 Part 1

Ink month is here again!  Here’s a recap of the first week of the drawing challenge.  This year I decided to use the official set of Inktober prompts but with a cat theme.  I have thousands of kitten pictures that I’ve been looking for an excuse to use.  Enjoy!  

All the drawings (so far) are 3×3, .05 Pigma Micron ink pen and Inktense Blocks.  The first six are on Canson mixed media paper before I switched to watercolor paper (which can handle water better).  You can follow along daily on my progress on social media (@LauraJaenArt).

Someone requested that I make these into stickers, which is a fun idea!  Check out my RedBubble shop for stickers with the kitties.

Are you working on an art challenge this month too?
