From Ink To Bear 2018

Back in 2011, I started to slow down my personal projects until I completely stopped.

In 2017, I kinda heard about the Inktober and attempted to find random ideas for 10 days before I gave up.

2018 is when I learnt more about this event and choose to follow the official prompts and for once, to finish the challenge.
Publishing this art book was my way to achieve this month and start a new adventure into the self-publishing world!

This book collects all my Inktober sketches for the 2018 edition and is the first one published by Nice Kraken.

One night, during the challenge, I imagined a bear spilling a bottle of ink I used to draw it, from Ink to Bear: a poor joke that would become the name of my artbook.

Inktober is a month long art challenge created by artist Jake Parker. Every day in October anyone who participates in the challenge creates an ink drawing and posts it online.
