Hooooo boy, if you know me, you know one of my greatest weaknesses is drawing (okay, anything artsy, really).

This is going to be my attempt to improve at least a little bit!

Inktober is an annual event (usually online, I think) with a drawing prompt for every day in the month of October. I’ve been wanting to explore making zines (basically small, self-published publications that are easily copied and printed) so when I saw this prompt for a planetary science version of Inktober, I took it as a sign!

Sooo I’m going to attempt to make one zine a day for the month of October to practice both my zine skills and my drawing skills. I’m prepared to be very bad at the beginning. But that’s how you improve, right?

I’ll try to write a short blog post to accompany each zine. I’ll also post them over on Twitter and Instagram, so follow wherever’s easiest for you if you want to come along on the journey! I’m not sure what I’m getting myself into, but I’m excited ✨
