October is Inktober month! What is Inktober? 

Every October, artists all over the world take on the InkTober drawing challenge by doing one ink drawing a day the entire month.

Jared Parker created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. 

I normally draw in ink without using pencil first, but I decided to participate in Inktober this year to work on my hatching skills and drawing without always adding watercolor.

There are prompts for each Inktober day, but I don't always use them. 

Here are my first few Inktober attempts.  

Are you participating in Inktober? The "rules"  are simple: 

1) Make a drawing in ink (you can do a pencil under-drawing if you want).

2) Post it online

3) Hashtag it with #inktober and #inktober2016

4) Repeat
