This is my Imperfect Inktober. 
This is my first Inktober where I have time to participate as my day job usually keeps me busy so I decided the best way to participate would be just to draw whatever I like with an ink brush and pen and post regardless if it looks great or not. Every time I see another artist post I get jealous, because I wish could be like them spending my time drawing for myself and putting everything the way I want perfectly on paper. I would be full of clients looking for me and being asked for work every day. The truth is though that things like that aren't real. No career field is like that. No artist ever feels like the way the create is enough for the world. I think this hunger that we all feel that we want more isn't actually all just insecurity I think it is also ambition. If we were all doctors then I think it would be more obvious, but People rarely recognize wanting more from something so overlooked as a good thing. Instead of calling it ambition, we mistake it as our insecurity, because no one who is in our field ever tells us we are on the right path. No one really creates the same art. Similar does not mean your a copy only that from one angle they line up. Inktober is supposed to be about allowing our ambition to become better artists to be free and out in the open. But to be truly honest we shouldn't just show our best works we should show all of it the terrible, the subpar, and the things we like, but no one else does. Ambition is about pleasing ourselves not just everyone else. Who cares if your work looks unfinished, or imperfect we should show it any way, because it shows how hard you work and where you started. We should inspire others by showing that no matter where you start out it gets better. There are no mistakes in art I think just happy accidents that need a new perspective. That is why this Inktober I am showing the good and the bad to show that your drawing gets better.
