Guess, what was my subject this year! Inktober 2024 was cats and ink only. This is how Inktober became Cattober. The Cat-tree has also find space and time to bloom. But let’s see it step by step.

I used for this challenge a mini sketchbook 4.5×6.5 cm of 50 pages with a cover in grey cardboard.

What is Inktober?

Inktober is the international art challenge that connects a lot of illustrators around the world. 31 days, 31 prompts, paper and ink. These are the official prompts of 2024:

Jake Parker, the concept illustrator of cartoons “Rio”, “Ice age” etc, created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavour with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year. Any artist can use the own prompt list instead of the “official” one.

Out of prompts

No comments, just illustrations. These are the subject off topic of Inktober but regarding cats. Scroll with me all bonus illustrations for prompts and out of topic.

Cat-tree is back

It was impossble not to draw at least one cat-slower among cat illustrations.

No filter

Scroll with me all the illustrations for 31 prompts. The prompts are 31, but the illustrations are much more. Not every subject corresponded to my idea in the first version, so I created the other illustrations until I liked or somehow accepted it.

Which is your favourite one?

Cover experience

Work in progress

Previously on Inktober…

In 2009, Jake Parker , American comics creator, concept artist, illustrator, and animator, started Inktober. The announcement was made on his blog. Parker originally started the challenge to motivate himself to improve his own inking skills. Since 2016, he posted a list of “prompts” for each day’s artwork. Artists are also known to plot out series of drawings on the same theme as part of the celebration. Participants have approached the challenge as an opportunity to practice and share their art, drawing in various art styles, and using a variety of media (the challenge originally was made only in fountain pen) . In October 2015, over 1 million Inktober drawings were posted on Instagram. I am in since 2018.

Inktober è Il challenge creativo internazionale unisce gli illustratori da tutto il mondo. Tutto semplice: ottobre, 31 giorni, 31 parole, 31 illustrazioni. Piccolo Sketchbook rosso Inktober 2022 è nato da un album Fabriano in 100% carta riciclata.

English version – Версия на русском языке

Piccolo Sketchbook rosso Inktober 2022 dal unboxing al taglio

Ho scelto di accostare un solo colore al nero dell’inchiostro, il rosso. A causa di mancanza di tempo ogni illustrazione è dedicata a 2 o 3 parole della lista.

Dolcetto o scherzetto

Questa illustrazione in realtà non esiste. E’ un frutto dell’accostamento digitale di 2 illustrazioni. La parte dedicata al tema “uh-oh” fu la più sfidante di tutto il challenge. Trovare un soggetto è stato abbastanza difficile dal momento che si trattava di una canzone, ma anche di un verso spaventoso dei fantasmi.

the 100 day project 2021

31st January 2021 the artists of all over the world explore the creativity during “the 100 day project 2021″.
Are you ready to follow me?

My project is to learn airbrushing. Let me explain you the why.
Blade runner 1982. Do you remember Pris and her make-up? The moment I saw the girl airbrushing the black eye shadows I understood how I want to feel making my art. That moment my passion for airbrushing was born.

Let’s start from the begining.

What is airbrush and why it is called this way? Aitrbrush is a small, air-operated tool that sprays various media, most often paint but also ink and dye, and foundation by a process of nebulization. Airbrushing is a way of painting using the airbrush.
Now it’s time to meet my airbrush and discover the basics.

My airbrush came for Christmas 2020.

It is a double action control gravity feed airbrush.

Gravity feed means that the airbrush has a paint cup at the top and the gravity pulls small amounts of paint into the mixing chamber where atomization occurs. Double action or dual independent control means that the trigger manages the paint volume and airflow. When the trigger is pushed down, the air passes through the airbrush. When you pull the trigger backward, paint begins to flow out. The more you pull the trigger the more paint is delivered. This allows users to control the amount of paint coming out of the airbrush and flow of paint can be adjusted even while painting.

Doing exercises.

These are the basic airbrushing moviments: dots, lines and curves.

These are the basic forms to learn how to airbrush the shadows and volums. The first and the most important is the sphere.

Now let’s spend a few words about cleaning. Airbrush neads to be cleaned very often: to change the colour, to add the colour and before you put it away.

The most long cleaning is one after you finished to use the airbrush. It needs you to diassemble and re-assemble it. Every detail is important. Is even a smallest part of the airbrush is out of place it will not work.

The project
“Breaking the rules” is a project that destroys the way of making art. It’s a difficult and painful way to get out from the “confort zone” and to use the media, compositions and ideas never used before to keep on growing as artist and as a person.
The project started in 2015 with the first artwork made for a collective that invited the artists to use the media never used before. The Russian artist mixed up Roy Lichtenstein’s pop-art and Rene Magritte’s surrealism.
Every year the new artworks keep on “breaking the rules”.
