The crispness in the air is a telltale sign that Inktober is finally here! Every October, artists from all over the world jump into the Inktober drawing challenge. Each day of this month, they complete one drawing per day and post it to social media platforms via the #inktober tag.

Here’s how to join the fun!

Now for a little bit of background. Inktober was started by illustrator Jake Parker as way to practice his inking skills. Every year, he puts out a prompt list to help give artists ideas for the drawing topic each day.

Here are the instructions + prompt list for Inktober 2017.

Make sure to check out Jake’s website for more information plus a list of suggestions for pens and other art supplies at Inktober.
