October is upon us, and that means another year of Inktober!

Inktober is a social media art challenge where people draw in ink, or with digital ink tools, every day of October. The month-long challenge is meant to help people practice their art skills while coming together to share their work. Inktober was created in 2009 by artist Jake Parker.

The Inktober Classic challenge features 31 days of ink drawings, followed by daily postings of the drawing on social media, using the hashtag #Inktober and #Inktober2022. The idea is to share your art with anyone; so, if you don’t feel like posting your creations, you’re encouraged to hang it somewhere others may see it.

The rules are there as a guideline, so there is no right way to do Inktober. The idea is to just have fun, practice your skills, share your work and encourage others to do the same.
