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
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.
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.
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.

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 tried to have him sit apart from the men, based on how he felt separated from the enlisted men. Also no, he didn't write it the trenches, just some artistic liberty.
Edit, updated with the marker version
I like this better, went back over with marker
This is really fantastic. Definitely saving it!
Holy shit, man. Thats powerful
Aww thanks ♥️
(This is not to nitpick your drawing, just personally curious) - is it known that Tolkien wrote drafts of the Hobbit/LotR during the war? That'd be an interesting tidbit.
Even if it's not 100% accurate, the war certainly stuck with him deeply through the rest of his life and obviously had large influences on his world building and writing.
I believe he either stated or wrote in letters that he imagined with world of the Hobbit during World War 1, but I do not believe he drafted it outright during wartime.
So it depends, mostly, on how we define 'wrote' to be accurate.
That's interesting! Puts some perspective on the stories.
Yeah I took artistic liberty
