Inktober 2020
Artist Jake Parker is the creator of the annual challenge Inktober. It started off in 2009 as a personal challenge to improve his ink drawing techniques. It has now become a world wide movement for artists wanting to try out or improve their art skills with ink. Thousands of people from all over the world take part in this challenge every year.
