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.

Want to mod?

Rules

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

The prompt for December 26th to the 31st is "Wrapped"!

"As the year winds down, we find ourselves reflecting on the journey we’ve shared over the past few years. Together, we’ve navigated challenges, uncertainty, and change—and through it all, we’ve found solace, expression, and growth in our creativity. The Inktober community has been a source of inspiration, connection, and encouragement, proving that art has the power to bring us together no matter where we are in the world.

Looking back, it’s incredible to see how much we’ve accomplished. Your art has told stories of resilience, joy, and transformation. Every line, stroke, and idea has added something beautiful and unique to this global tapestry. We’re endlessly grateful to each of you for sharing your creativity and making this community what it is today.

As we prepare to turn the page to a new year, we’re thrilled to announce this week’s Inktober art prompt: "Finish Line." It’s the perfect theme to celebrate the culmination of not just this year, but of all the effort, growth, and artistic evolution you’ve poured into your work. Whether you interpret the prompt as a celebration of achievement, the bittersweet feeling of closure, or a starting point for new beginnings, we can’t wait to see how you bring it to life.

Post your work using the hashtag #Inktober52FinishLine so we can celebrate together. Let’s finish this year strong and step boldly into the next with our creativity leading the way.

Thank you for being such an inspiring part of this journey. Here’s to finishing well and dreaming big for what lies ahead."
