If you've never heard of Inktober, the idea is simple. 31 days, 31 drawings—i.e., draw one piece of art for every day in October, based on the prompt you're given. While there are many different prompts floating around every year, there's only one “official” prompt list, created by Jake Parker. Parker began the Inktober Initiative back in 2009 to improve his drawing skills and develop positive drawing habits, and now artists all over the world share their art each October with the hashtag #Inktober.
