inktober 2024

Inktober 2024 was a lot of fun. My friends and I followed an alternate list called Witchtober and I drew a lot of different kinds of witches in my journal with highlighters and gelly roll pens. It was good to have an almost daily drawing practice, though I got busy and fell off at the end, finishing the last several between November and March 2025.
