I’ve had a go at the Inktober challenge a couple of times, and it’s not as easy as it seems. By about day 15 I’m usually running on empty and looking for excuses, so here are three ways to beat the procrastination.

1. Having a theme for the month helps. Last year I alternated between monsters and soldiers, and added the latest inked work to the previous work to build a collage of the month’s work.

2. We’ll post a list of things to draw each day here: https://blogs.brighton.ac.uk/inktober/help-i-dont-know-what-to-draw/ 

3. Use a random idea generator like 1000 things to draw. 

It just suggested I draw “a rat putting on socks for a zebra” which sounds fine to me.
