October has reach its end. And I will be waiting next year October. Why? Because in this month, there's one event that I love to celebrate and be part of it.
When we talked about October, for some reason, it always connected to Halloween. You can noticed we already close to this month just by watching television.
Suddenly, everything has some ghostly thing. Cooking channel will have a horor cooking thing. House channel discuss how to decorate your own ghost decorative room. Even kids channel will have a lot of ghostly episode.
But, I don't celebrate it. No Halloween celebration for me. Simply coz I don't believe it. For me (and in my religion), death people will remain death, and stay in the other side. Teir business with the undeath already done. Until the judgment day come. In that time, we all will death, from human kind to the smallest living organisms. And then God will ask every single human who ever lived from the first day of time to responsible for what they ever done in their live. Throw them to hell or light up to heaven.
So, not Halloween. But Inktober.
It created by Jake Parker. He wrote in his page, http://mrjakeparker.com/inktober/ "I created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to improve my inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year."
What I love about Inktober, is the rule. So simple.
Make a drawing in ink (you can do a pencil under-drawing if you want). Post it online. Hashtag it with #inktober and #inktober2017. Repeat
The most important thing is, do it by hand. Manual. Not digital.
It just really a nice felling, to draw with hand again. Fell the move of your pen on paper, hear the sound of pencil and pen, and the smell of ink. It really something.
I don't know how to explain it. But honestly, it calm me down. Some yoga to my mind. A moment to fell free, enjoyed drawing just how it's to be. Just drawing.
This month Inktober already come to its last day. And I don't know, will I meet it again next years. Only God who know it.
