As mid-October approached, I announced with great pomp and circumstance that, even though the month was halfway through, I — and you—could still try to get on the #Inktober bandwagon.
I declared a new variant of Inktober, the procrastinator’s nudge to get on board with the popular drawing challenge. I called it #IdesOfInktober, referencing the made-famous-by-Shakespeare Ides of March. The Ides of March was a day of settling debts in ancient Rome, so I thought it appropriate to apply to Inktober, the daily drawing challenge — we could settle the debt we creatively minded folks feel we have to ourselves for not getting on it like everyone else.
Just to wrap a bow on this and hopefully gain something from my failed attempt even at this underachiever’s “challenge”, I thought it would be fun to share a quick report on how it went for me.
The Report
14 out of 16 Drawings Completed
So if you count my declaration post on @drawingisimportant, I posted 14 times. But truly, there were only 13 actual drawings. So I guess 13 out of 16 days of drawing isn’t all that bad!
