Today is the first day of INKTOBER. For those who doesn't know about it, watch this:
I've joined last year's Inktober. I almost didn't finish it because we took a sudden vacation at the last week of October, 2016. But I forced myself to draw pieces in a hurried manner just to meet the deadline. I haven't been drawing ever since that event. So, my drawing skill is a bit rusty. Hopefully my drawing habit would be a daily thing.

My tools for INKTOBER 2017:
Uni Pin Pens (0.1, 0.3 and 0.5mm)
I've been using this brand for almost 12 years. I haven't tried others. Maybe I'm to comfortable with this. I might try Copic Multiliner next time.
Pentel Pocket Brush Pen
I bought this one at @pennarr's IG page. It's a sweet deal. It's really cheap and it comes with 3 refills. Most shops only offer 2 refills and very expensive.
I've been practicing with this brush for the last 2 days because I find it frustrating to use. The bristles are too soft and long... making it too hard to control. Good thing I asked for advice from the veterans at the Inktober FB group page. Last year, I used a Platinum brush pen. it was easy to use because it has shorter and medium bristles. The only downside of it is it's not refillable. Definitely, I would like to try other brush pens in the future.

Basically, that's the only inking tools that I have on hand right now. If I have the chance to pass by the art supply store, I'd get myself these babies:
1) Kuretake Cartoonist Sumi Ink
2) Angelo Red Sable (#1, #2, and #6, Round)
3) Zebra G Nib
4) Fountain Pen (I'm still thinking of what brand I'll be buying. Ugh, so many to choose from!)
Well, that's that. Write down your comment below and share your plans this Inktober.
