Inktober Prep: How to Actually Finish the 31-Day Art Challenge

<p>Most people don&#39;t fail Inktober. They just run out of steam around day 12 and quietly stop posting. In this episode of Geek Devotions, I walk through the exact prep work I do before picking up a pen: choosing a medium, building a color story, and testing my tools so I don&#39;t get burned halfway through the month.</p><p><br></p><p>Question of the Week: Are you doing Inktober this year? Drop your plans (or your art!) in our Discord Inktober channel, we want to see it.</p><p><br></p><p>Catch us live at the Anime and Cosplay Shindig, Nov 7, Monroe LA.</p><p><br></p><p>Dallas&#39; book &quot;How Do I Actually Pray&quot; is officially out 👉 https://a.co/d/0irxv3h9</p><p><br></p><p>If you&#39;ve read it, a review on Amazon genuinely helps other people find it.
