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.

Yes, we will still do weekly challenges.  This is an extra month-long challenge.  🙂

Participate in Inktober.     

Include the topic hashtag in your Watercolor – Beginners and Beyond Facebook group post: #inktober2024

You can do one prompt, some prompts, or all all of them.  It doesn’t matter.  You can even do them out of order if you want.  It’s a fun challenge that helps you to get into daily drawing practice.   You can use ink, watercolor, gouache, watercolor pencils, water soluble graphite, or a combination of all of these!  The goal is to practice drawing — and to have fun!

• Entries must be posted in the Facebook group: Watercolor – Beginners and Beyond
• You may enter as often as you want
• Open to all countries
• Winners are chosen randomly
• Include the topic hashtag in your post: #inktober2024
• Challenge lasts for the month of October

Here are the daily prompts.
