Inktober is an annual art challenge that asks artists to create 31 images using ink for each day of October. In 2019, Karolina decided to work around a cyborg theme in order to explore ideas related to the More Human Than Human oil painting series.
She restricts the dimensions of each drawing paper to be 5″x5″ so that is can later create a book using bookbinding techniques. All ink drawings use ink and some colors are added with watercolor or acrylic in one case. More about this project in this blog post.
