What is Inktober?
Inktober is a yearly art event intended to improve your inking skills. Every day, there's a prompt which everyone will draw with either ink on paper or digital inking
From the main site:
Jake Parker created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year.
What to do
The main two ways to participate are to draw daily like a marathon or every second day like a semi-marathon. The operative word being marathon. It doesn't have to be your best piece of art or even something you're proud of in any way. As the creator of this community, I know quite a bit of what I create will be absolute trash. I'm ok with this though.
This community
A daily post will be pinned at the top to round up each days work. One may either make a post to the community, or comment on the pinned post.

Am I your dad? I Love dragging my kids on hikes. I can tell from his expression that he's explaining to you how that rock face formed and that it s the perfect habitat for that very common and bland flower that is everywhere around. Also did you know that the water carved the Canyon below. See that white vein in the rock, that was my a crack thatgot filled in by mineral water over thousands of years....
I wish my dad was like that! :)
My dad is someone who likes to hike for hiking's sake. We would spend summer vacations in the Alps, going on hikes every other day. And it was all about walking a lot of kilometers with him, preferably up mountains and never down.
I can understand that it was his vacation as well, and he wanted to enjoy himself. But he always overestimated our stamina, which ended with most of us tired and sore halfway. The second half of the hike was always such a slog.
So, your kids should count themselves lucky. At least you try to keep the hike interesting :)
Have a sticker for being great dad ⭐️
(Also I love my dad, I just didn't like his hikes.. Before I sound too negative about him)
Love the drawing, I also recognize the kid face. I was trying to convey that on top of walking I bore my kids with mundane stuff only I find interesting. But yeah ill Take that sticker and show them next time they grunt when I find yet another cool looking tree trunk. :)
