What is Inktober? When asking the art teacher Ms. McLellan said: “It is an online prompt, for each day of October that’s only done in pen and ink to inspire a black and white theme and to share the work through the art community.” Inktober is in fact an online community event but it’s way more than sharing work. It’s a challenge for artists worldwide to see who can think outside the box and make the most disturbing, and spooky designs to fit the Halloween theme.

The Inktober projects end the 31st so on halloween fulfilling the spooky vibes, Inktober is meant to inspire some artists to try something new, which usually they don’t do pieces like the ones they do in October but the event gives them new perspective and have a chance to have a spotlight in the art community. So for any small artists out there its recommended that you give it a chance.
