THEY'RE HEEEERE!!!

| Spooky Intro - day 1 |
Long awaited for and loved by many, the art challenges of October have begun! They started many years ago and have grown in popularity so now we have SO many people hosting them! I don't know if INKTOBER was the first art challenge or not, but I believe it may have been, I'll do more research and try to find out. MAB GRAVES and her 'club' have one, she is so creative and brilliant!!
Because of the way Instagram works, we have to tag our artwork a certain way and Mab came up with this code. The first day was tagged with a hashtag and then the call letters of what it is, (Mab's Drawlloween Club) the year and then what day it is. So day one went like this: #mdwc25d1 and since the first day was 'Spooky Intro' you also made a tag like this: #mdwc25d1spookyintro. This way we can all see what everyone else is creating right away, the algorithm isn't all messed up and it is so handy! I love viewing what everyone is creating and I follow new artists that I discover this way too.

| My Familiar - day 2 |
Every year I swear I'm going to paint with real paint and make art that perhaps I could sell, like maybe 8" x 10" or ACEO size (2.5" x 3.5") or make greeting cards and sell them in lots of 10. Or, maybe do some clay work, sewing or some other fun craft. That is my goal, my personal art challenge. I've been doing digital art for so long now, I don't know if I can paint, draw or do anything crafty without the computer! For sure I'd like to embroider something, so that will be a fun challenge! I should check out the prompt list and start it soon, maybe I'll embroider a mushroom, for day 19.

| Witch - day 3 |
My Frunsi android tablet has an art program installed called SKETCHBOOK and it's pretty good actually. It has a lot of nice tools, good paint brushes, pencils, chalk, charcoal, textures and air sprayers. I can purchase the premium version for $2.99 but I don't really need to. This tablet has been fun for me, does just what I want for sketching little things as I watch night time tv, I can check my social media, mail and weather, but the battery doesn't last long. It's just a cheap tablet, but for now, it's fine.

NO pressure!
