Happy 10th Birthday Inktober!

This year marks the 10th birthday of Inktober, the art challenge that asks participants to create an ink drawing every day in October. To celebrate reaching double figures, 2019’s event will feature competitions, with art supplies on offer as prizes.

What makes Inktober different from other challenges? “It was one of the few perennial art challenges to start before social media took a foothold in our culture,” says founder Jake Parker. “Its popularity rose as more and more people shared their art on places such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.”

“The digital age has spoiled us all with its endless possibilities, butnothing can replace the feel of paper and the absolute concentration one needs when drawing with a real pen,” adds regular participant Alexa Pásztor.

“The community aspect of the challenge is a great motivation and every year it feels like the most creative month,” says artist Daria Golab. “I can’t imagine October without Inktober.”
