Inktober is an annual month-long event when a prompt word will be posted for each day of October.
Inktober 52 is what happens during the months that aren't October. A new prompt will be posted once a week (typically Thursdays.)
Simply draw by hand something based on or inspired by the prompt word. It can be inked traditionally (on paper,) or with a digital "ink" brush. The drawing can be anything from a simple doodle to an elaborate illustration. The color of the ink is negotiable.
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 marks in your work must be physically drawn by (your) hand.
Submissions must meet the theme of this community Your work must be based on the given prompt. 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.

Drawn from reference. Here's hoping I'm gonna get better at hands.
looks great! i love the clean silhouette and iโm a bit jealous with how you managed to center the drawing perfectly to the page. i have an issue with starting drawings too close to the edge of a paper ๐
Yeah I was a bit nervous whilst drawing the right arm that it was gonna fall off the page, hahaha. Maybe me being a graphic designer helps with the page layout ;)
well it looks great and i look forward to seeing your next drawing! :)
Realy nice. I'm not fooled by the scribly loose look of the lines it's crisp and precise. You have skill.
Thank you so much!
This is almost exactly the pose of a teacher of mine as he left the building for the last time on the day of his retirement.
Except his left arm was down and the index finger of his right hand was not extended.
Great drawing.
May I ask what that book is? The paper looks thick, bright, and has a beautiful tooth.
Thanks! It's an A6/pocket Moleskine for aquarel.
Thank you.
