Alya can things just let be, can she ;D
(I was wondering if you were too busy to read/watch new things or just didn't have anything to say to it... I'm not saying you should comment on everything, but I admit many times while posting I've thought - I wonder what lichotka would say to it )
(as for inktober - I failed totally this year. The drawings weren't so big and were rather quick (those I made), but I decided rather try to finish the comics (only few pages now remain to the end), though if I was better with organizing my time and didn't waste too much of it elsewhere I could do both and much more in addition too... (though the way I'm working on the comics now (october/november) is bit of a victory as well )) (sorry for the random personal ramble! )

I'd really like to comment (and I will), I just need to have some time to gather my thoughts and write something that'll actually be meaningful

I don't think you failed! You did quite a lot of drawings (I did only two, although I'm still gonna finish this challenge). But I think that if the comic feels more important to you, there's nothing bad on focusing on this instead of another challenge! On the contrary, I think that you should focus on the drawings that help you improve or just make you have fun - and only treat Inktober as an additional motivation. Just remember what's most important for you in art.
There are some people that feel motivated by taking on a responsibility - but with not-so-much free time on some days, I'd only get frustrated. So I took my time.
I think that comics are a great way to improve in art - you need to focus on the story, emotions, poses, composition... basically everything. With constantly drawing new scenes, you can make a great progress.

Ahh, wasting time... Tell me more. I really need to work on it. Recently, I agreed to help make some logos... but it turned out to be a difficult task for me. I mean, with regular drawings I'm okay with imperfection - I just know that next drawing will be better. But with logo... I spent a lot of time fixing the mistakes and worrying if the effect is good enough or if I should use different colours or if everyone sees the mistakes I can see... But at least I learnt what I shouldn't do. It still took me some time I could spend on other stuff, like drawing.

I know this too, sometimes I have notifications about some pics many days in my notes before I find out something to say that would tell more than just "I like it", though I think even simple "I like it" is better than just thinking about it. But I always try to write what I like about it - if I can realize what it is that is. Sometimes I just don't know what's so great there to catch my eye... 

Well the inktober drawings weren't that detailed and didn't take much time so I could do it next to working on the comics as well (if I wasn't wasting time elsewhere too), but with less time when I actually forced myself to focus on drawing I felt like being distracted when drawing something else so I gave up on inktober later. If it makes any sense. But yeah, finishing the comics was and is just more important right now and I actually didn't need an extra little drawing exercises. I'll go on with drawing things from my past somewhen later anyway .
Ah, it seems so indeed that it's a great way to improve the drawing! During making of it I regretted many times that I didn't think all the things related to this thing and that I started and felt like throwing it out of the window and never think of it again, but now I'm really glad that I didn't give up and I think that I learnt few things (some of them of myself too lol!) and improved my drawing as well. Maybe it's not that to be seen outside but the process of drawing feels much better to me anyway . (and don't want to sound too confident but I think I found out the way how to edit a bit the colours and brightness and stuff so yay (if nothing else, I'm able to do it much faster now lol))

Making logos - sounds interesting! But I think I know what you mean, the logo just stands in the final state forever, yeah, I don't think I could do think like that, I'm bad at making - even the simplest, most stupid and the silliest - decisions and when it should be final like that... nope %)

Any challenge is just a way to help you improve. If you feel that it hinders your improvement, it's perfectly okay to modify it or even give up on it. I think that comic is enough, even if you don't have time for anything else.

Just drawing a comic is enough to improve. I realized many times that even if I draw without thinking about some specific aspects. Just drawing is enough to improve. And since you already drew a lot, you've already made some progress

About logos - yeah, it's worst that they're gonna be used over and over again. And I worry about every single pixel / detail that could make the logo not-that-perfect.

Hi.
Thank you for the interest and thank you for asking for permission I appreciate it a lot, but I'm not a fan of comics (or generally fanarts) in videos (generally, mine or anyone else's, and any fandom; it just seems really weird to me), so I have to say no, don't use it, please. But thank you for your interest anyway!
