Inktober

Inktober… with a Twist

Inspired by Jake Parker’s 2023 Inktober prompt list, I decided to take a different approach. Instead of traditional ink, I created a series of vector-based icon illustrations that reimagine each prompt with a fresh, digital twist.

Retro Style

For this challenge, I selected the following prompts: drip, bounce, spicy, rise, plump, frost, chains, and sparkle. When creating my illustrations, I was drawn to a retro, nostalgic style that felt bold and playful. To give the designs more character and depth, I added a stippling texture brush to each piece. This project challenged me to study a new art style closely and translate its essence into my own work, pushing me to rethink how I approach shape, color, and texture.
