For several years, I have participated in the Inktober challenge. The guy who started it in 2009 releases a list of [optional] one-word prompts each October, which you then do a daily drawing from. The only stipulation is that you do the drawing in ink. You can use pencil first (I do), you can use pens, markers, quill and ink, whatever you want, as long as it is ink. There are dozens of other prompts lists released each year, or you can make your own, etc. – the point is to further your drawing skills and get you in the habit of creating!
