Drawtober Instead

I find most of the art challenges intimidating, especially ones that feature realistic drawing. With all the new supplies I've picked up, between a birthday shopping trip and from the Maido-in-a-Box sets, I thought I'd challenge myself. I even have a special box to pick up for this month.

Then I read about Alphonso Dunn and the way that Jake Parker used his ideas. Then trademarked the popular challenge this month, using that to sue other artists selling their collections of drawings based on his trademarked daily prompts.

I read all the alternate ideas and prompt lists, then I finally decided to create my first comic! I'm inspired by "Making Comics" by Lynda Barry, a gift from CK for my birthday.

CK is also going to draw each day. No prompts either, just whatever inspires her that day.

Here's Day 1. In which I am disappointed and decide to do my own thing or, A theme for my life.
