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.

The prompt for December 12th to the 18th is "Gingerbread"!
"Let your imagination run wild as you explore the sweet, spiced possibilities of gingerbread! From intricate cookie houses adorned with candy to whimsical gingerbread characters that tell a story, there are endless ways to bring this theme to life. Maybe you'll illustrate a cozy gingerbread village nestled in powdered sugar snow, a daring gingerbread adventurer exploring a candy forest, or even a dramatic showdown between a gingerbread knight and a marshmallow dragon.
But why stop at the traditional? Switch it up! Picture futuristic gingerbread robots, edible spaceships crafted from sugar and spice, or even a reimagining of gingerbread as towering skyscrapers in a confectionery cityscape. Let the charm of gingerbread inspire you, but don’t be afraid to crumble the mold and bake up something completely unexpected! 🖋️✨"
=================================================================

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