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.

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

MODERATORS
"🦁🐵🐍 Whether you take inspiration from a real-life zoo, a magical menagerie, or even a futuristic wildlife sanctuary, there are endless ways to explore this theme. You could sketch a bustling zoo scene filled with animals and curious visitors, design an enclosure for an imaginary creature, or illustrate a zookeeper interacting with their favorite animal. Maybe your zoo isn’t made of cages at all—perhaps it’s a floating space station preserving alien species or a hidden jungle where animals roam free. Whatever direction you choose, let your creativity run wild! 🖊✨"
=================================================================
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:
- 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.
