Inktober 2024
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.

Be kind Constructive criticism at most. This is a strictly positive community meant to keep a habit for a period of time. If you don't enjoy someones art and can't phrase any advice in a supportive way don't speak up. This will be strongly enforced with bans if need be. A dictatorship of kindness. You may, however, ignore this rule for any post made by @[email protected]. Please, feel free to insult me so terribly that I'll think about your takedown on my deathbed

This will be my first time doing an Inktober outside of October so take this with a grain of salt, but judging by posts sent out by Inktober in the past, the prompts seem to go out every Wednesday night / Thursday.
That seems a little odd to me, as I would've assumed that it would fall on a weekend or Mondays, even, but all the posts I've found so far seem to have been sent out on a Thursday.
