INKTOBER – A Challenge To Draw And Inspire For 31 Days

Every year in October, artists from all over the globe take up this challenge to create drawings with one ink for each day of the month using an ink pen. Most people choose black, but you can use any color you like. This is a challenge that is lean on rules and high on creativity. This event is popularly known as INKTOBER!

Jake Parker, an illustrator based out of Utah is the creator of INKTOBER initiated in 2009 to improve his own inking skills by spending some quality creative time sketching/inking drawings and illustrations; and to develop positive drawing habits.

It has since then grown into a massive worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year creating beautiful paintings and doodles.

“#INKTOBER is about growing and improving and forming positive drawing habits, so the more you’re consistent the better.” “Anyone can do INKTOBER, just pick up an ink pen and start drawing,” Parker writes on his website.

An idea which started an as the endeavor to improve his own drawing skills has now grown into a worldwide movement over the years attracting thousands and thousands of participants building a community of artists globally.

The rules are pretty simple, make a drawing in ink on each of the 31 days in October and post it online with hashtags #inktober or #inktober2017.

Note: The drawings can be done on a daily basis or you can go the half-marathon route and post every other day, Whatever is your decision, just be consistent with it says, Parker. INKtober is about growing and improving and forming positive habits, so the more consistent you are, the better you perform!
