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.

Rules

  1. 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

  2. No AI-Generated work

  3. Submissions must meet the theme of this community Whether on paper or digital the creation must be inked. This means black and white with an ink pen or ink pen digital brush

looks great! i love the clean silhouette and iโ€™m a bit jealous with how you managed to center the drawing perfectly to the page. i have an issue with starting drawings too close to the edge of a paper ๐Ÿ˜…

Yeah I was a bit nervous whilst drawing the right arm that it was gonna fall off the page, hahaha. Maybe me being a graphic designer helps with the page layout ;)

Realy nice. I'm not fooled by the scribly loose look of the lines it's crisp and precise. You have skill.

This is almost exactly the pose of a teacher of mine as he left the building for the last time on the day of his retirement.

Except his left arm was down and the index finger of his right hand was not extended.

Great drawing.

May I ask what that book is? The paper looks thick, bright, and has a beautiful tooth.

Thanks! It's an A6/pocket Moleskine for aquarel.
