Jake Parker created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year.

In short: The challenge started with drawing something every day, but in recent years it has evolved into doing something creative every day throughout October.

So grab paper and pen, a crochet hook and loom, or why not a latex sculpture or a stop motion film?

Create something small each day and watch yourself improve along the way. Compare your first day with your last, and see it as a chance to learn something new!

Tag your work with the hashtag #inctober2025 and join one of the world's biggest art events!

Good luck!
