What is Inktober?

Inktober is an annual month-long event when a prompt word will be posted for each day of October.

What is Inktober 52?

Inktober 52 is what happens during the months that aren't October. A new prompt will be posted once a week (typically Thursdays.)

How do I join in?

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.

Rules

  1. 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.

  2. No AI-Generated work The marks in your work must be physically drawn by (your) hand.

  3. 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.

This is it! Day 31!

Thank you to everyone that's participated and made Inktober 2025 such a memorable event! You all deserve an award! :)

Extra accolades go to those who've navigated the grind and successfully submitted art for all 31 daily prompts! That's not an easy feat, to which those of us have yet to hit 31 submissions may attest. However, if you've participated in this Inktober and have interacted with our little community at all, whether that be posting a sketch or leaving a kind comment, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and hope to see you continue to interact and grow with us here on /c/Inktober.

If you've enjoyed being a part of this daily month-long main event and would like to continue being a part of this community in some capacity, we also host "Inktober 52." where we post a prompt for each week of the year in-between October events. Whether you post weekly, semi-weekly, or just simply browse what others have submitted and leave a comment or two, we look forward to your contribution.

That said, it's the last day of October, so whether you celebrate Halloween or not in your part of the world, we hope you commemorate the last day of our event by kicking back with a treat or two, and pampering yourself with the grace and kindness you deserve. :)

So that's it! As always, you’re free to create a separate post for your own stuff if you wish, or you can post it as a comment below (though I'd advise creating a separate post to maximize visibility.) We will corral any individual posts and post them here as a comment when possible. Rinse and repeat.

Rules:

  1. Please remember to be kind. All skill levels are welcome here.
  2. AI art is not allowed.
  3. Submissions must be based on the daily prompt, but either traditional or digital mediums are welcome.

Thank you in advance, and let’s continue to have fun! :)
