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?

Feel free to contact me if you're up to help mod this community.

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

The prompt for December 5th to 12th is "Krampus"!

"This week’s Inktober 52 prompt is here, and it’s time to get festive! Imagine a figure sneaking through the snow, a sack slung over their back, and a trail of little footprints leading to cozy chimneys. But wait—those aren’t reindeer hooves on the roof, and that sack isn’t full of toys…

Krampus is the ultimate “naughty list” enforcer, bringing a delightfully spooky twist to the holiday season! This horned, furry figure hails from Alpine folklore and traditionally tags along with St. Nicholas on December 5th, Krampusnacht. While jolly old St. Nick hands out treats to good children, Krampus wields his birch sticks and sack to dole out punishment to the naughty ones (or so the legend goes!). Once feared, Krampus has become a festive favorite in modern celebrations, with parades, costumes, and plenty of mischievous holiday cheer. Think of him as Christmas with a little extra bite!

This week’s prompt is KRAMPUS! Let your pens and brushes bring this dark, mischievous holiday legend to life. Will your Krampus be terrifying, mischievous, or just downright strange? Grab your sketchpads and let’s conjure some holiday havoc! 🎄👹"

=================================================================

As always, you’re free to create a separate post for your own stuff if you wish, or you can post it as a comment in this weekly prompt post. I will corral any individual posts and post them here as a comment.

Rules:

  1. Please remember to be kind. All skill levels are welcome here.
  2. AI art is not allowed.
  3. Submissions must be based on the given prompt, but either traditional or digital mediums are welcome.
