Inktober is an initiative run by an artist named Jake Parker each year since 2009, open to participants of any age across the globe. The artist releases a list of ‘prompt words,’ numbered 1 through 31 for each day of the month of October. The objective of participation is to instill a daily habit of drawing in the artist taking part, preferably in some kind of ink on paper, even if a pencil underdrawing or other technique is used.
Some artists have switched to emulating the ink “look-and-feel” via digital drawings, but I’m a purist… Inktober is for pen and paper! Visit my Instagram to see my years of Inktober illustrations, or explore below.
I’ve participated in quite a few years of Inktober:
