Inktober is coming – and so are Willoughby’s chapter illustrations

Inktober is one of those challenges that people take up or not with no pressure from anyone – but you may find lovely sketches floating around your favourite social media with the hashtag #inktober all through the month of October.

I’ve been enjoying the sketches my cover illustrator, Danielle English, who shows off her talent every year, put on her twitterfeed each Inktober.  This year she’s also showing them on her new Facebook page Kanizo Art.  So please support her and comment on them.

And as Dani showed some more of her work the other day, I realised that Inktober was the perfect prompt for me to do the illustrations for Willoughby the Narrator.  Inktober should be one sketch a day, making 31, and Willoughby needs no more than 19, so I could either aim for the half marathon and post every other day, or go for broke and do the remaining ones from chapters for The Princelings of the North.

I’ll be posting them first onto my Pinterest page, where they will link to the Princelings of the East Facebook page and my Twitterfeed.  Search for #inktober if you’re interested!
