What is Inktober?
Inktober is an annual month-long event when a prompt word will be posted for each day of October.
What is Inktober 52?
Inktober 52 is what happens during the months that aren't October. A new prompt will be posted once a week (typically Thursdays or Fridays.)
How do I join in?
Simply create art based on or inspired by the prompt word. All mediums are welcome, provided they are created by human hands and minds. The submission can be anything from a simple doodle, a sculpture, 3D model, papercraft, painting, etc.
Rules
-
Be kind. Constructive criticism at most, if requested. We welcome artists of all skill levels and varying levels of free time to commit. This community is meant to encourage people to create art.
-
No AI-Generated work
The works must be physically created by (your) mind and hands. All non-AI mediums welcome!
-
Submissions must meet the theme of this community
Your work must be based on a prompt from an official Inktober list. Late work based on expired prompts are still eligible for submission.
From Inktober.com:
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.
