Thanks! (I'm not gonna lie, the last week was kinda hard ^ ^')

And congrats to you too! Managing to put out a full color illustration for 31 days in a row is a huge feat! : D

Thank you very much...although I really don't like mu pieces, especially compared to last year (hence my overview of the year).

*gets ready for ceremonial burning of the sketch book*

Nooo, no ceremonial burnings  

Tbh I think it's fairly normal to get frustrated and end up hating most of things you worked on during Inktober, unfortunately (because you have to produce so much in such short amount of time/have to draw things you're not used to, etc)
I usually try to make this into a learning experience, so after Inktober is finished I think about what was the most challenging part/what gave me the most trouble overall and try to  improve it going forward :')

Okay I won't burn them. The book has last year's Inktober too and I really like those pictures

You make some fair points, in regards to hating my work, and I do need to use this as a learning experience. I just found it all so tricky in using alcohol markers. I think it was partly down to inexperience, and a bad mix of markers and paper (it bled through the paper soooo badly)

Good!

Yeah, having to battle your art supplies on top of everything is a pain - -' 
I keep choosing bad quality paper for my Inktobers and continuously suffer because of it every year :')
I actually promised myself that I would actually TEST the paper I want to use for traditonal art before buying it in bulk XD

Yeah I was just being cheap as the sketchbook I used was a free-be lol, but the proper 'marker paper' I have is just as rubbish so I just went for it lol. I did swatch all my markers to see how they'll look but I think when I colour in a picture I'm more heavy handed than just scribbling a block in *shrugs shoulders* I've got a year to think about what to do next year
