31 Days, 31 Drawings

The vibrant and innovative challenge known as “Inktober”, which was invented by artist Jake Parker, enables artists from all around the world to connect with one another and promote a sense of unity. The task only requires two simple steps, making it quite straightforward. A new set of topics is released every year, one for each day of the month. Shown below are the bizarre topics from this year.

Every day, artists participate in the challenge by drawing their “word of the day” and uploading it on social media using the hashtags #inktober or #inktober2022. Artists are encouraged to express their artistic creations or enhance their inking skills during this creativity-based trend’s one month journey. As the art community advances more quickly than ever, traditions must be upheld in order to keep artists inspired and united.
