The Challenge

The straight Inktober Challenge is to draw a word each day on the Official Inktober 2020 list. But we are going to add two twists to the challenge.

Twist 1 is to relate the word to a bible verse. The exact word might not be in the bible – #4 Radio would be an example that would not be in the bible. But think about how we can relate Radio to something in the bible. What does a radio do? It’s a way to communicate. So maybe finding a verse about shouting or talking or hearing for God might be good places to start looking for ways to connect Radio to a bible verse.

Twist 2 is to practice your lettering skills by writing the word in a bold font and then printing out the verse in a basic block font. You will be amazed at how daily practice will improve your lettering skills.

Inspiration:

This challenge is about honing your sketchnoting skills of developing icons, practicing your letter AND stretching your creativity. There are no rules – often times the exact word will not be in the Bible, but can you relate the word to a similar word or theme? You also do not have to do this everyday – do it as you have time, or maybe just doing it once a week.

You can get as creative as you like.

Consider getting creative with the font you use for the word. Is there a clever way to draw the word and through the font, you can create to the feeling of the word? See how I did disgusting in the video?
