Inktober Challenge Pushes Artists To Flex Their Creative Muscles
The annual drawing challenge began a decade ago as a way for one artist to strengthen his ink-drawing skills. Now, millions of drawings showcasing portraits, animals and more are shared each year.
Each year, October brings pumpkins, witches and candy. But for artists, it also brings the annual tradition of Inktober. Illustrator and writer Jake Parker created the drawing challenge 10 years ago as a way to strengthen his ink-drawing skills.
In 2009, he announced on his blog that he was on Instagram.
