Inktober is a drawing challenge that occurs in October. The aim is to do an ink drawing a day for 31 days. You can choose your own theme, or you can follow the prompt list. Once your drawing is complete post it using #Inktober and #Inktober2017. And while there are some impressive artists out there, anyone can participate.
I suck at drawing, but since taking up hand lettering a few months ago, I’m going to enjoy being an amateur and take part. You should too.

Here are examples from extremely talented local artists, who you should definitely follow on the ‘gram.
@IainRennie chose a theme of monsters with day jobs, and this zombie janitor has to be my favourite.
@FathimasStudio does amazing hand lettering and drawings and also shares her creative process.

And what would this list be without my favourite pen maker Sharpie.
