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.

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 @sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works. 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

Low effort, but cathartic

That's around the time we might see whether a modern coup attempt can be made, and whether there's enough MAGA energy to cause civil unrest!

[EDIT: Look for things like; Trump calling a "victory" early in the count - this is because Rural areas tend to vote Republican, and finish their counting early. If he calls it early, it'll be a huge red flag that he's trying to claim an unearned election win.]

Wow, people in this place is really pro trump! Look at all those downvotes when I call him out for his election bs. Weird.

They are down voting you because you are treating all republican voters as if they are a violent mob ready to burn down the country.

It would help if you would stop attacking republicans and stick with the Trump attacks. Most people are aware Trump is garbage, but applying those feelings to half of the american citizens is absurd.

You should go talk to people in your community and you might be shocked that there are Democrats and republicans that are friends, go to church together, work together, etc.

Republicans support Trump they were dead before that but now... Sorry I cannot remotely fathom a good conversation with these people. Trump is just the (current) tip of the iceberg...
