Jake Parker created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to himself to improve his drawing and inking skills while also encouraging good drawing habits. The idea is simple. Every October, artists all over the world draw one ink drawing per day for the entire month.
There are only 3 rules:
- Use ink to draw
- Post it on your blog (or Google+, Tumblr, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterestor just pin it on your wall)
- Hashtag it with #inktober
The main thing is to have fun.
On Jake’s website, you can find a list of awesome tools and resources. This year, I’m using a Pentel Pocket Brush and a few Copic markers.
