Inktober
Artists Jake Parker created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. Now it has grown into a huge event with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year all around the globe. This online art event is a great way to challenge yourself, practise your inking skills and meeting other inspiring artists.
