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 @sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works. Please, feel free to insult me so terribly that I'll think about your takedown on my deathbed

I really enjoyed seeing all the different submissions each day, hopefully there are plans for more of the same because it was a lot of fun seeing so many different takes on the same theme
I enjoyed seeing everyone's submissions too!
Inktober also does a weekly challenge that spans the year, called Inktober52, which we will be posting for people to follow along with if they so wish. That'll at least provide an opportunity for people to continue contributing to this community, either with artwork, their time, or both, until the next month-long Inktober challenge comes along. :)
