Visible ink As the art challenge celebrates a milestone year in 2019, we get the low-down from the founder and contributors on just how Inktober has become so popular
-
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.”
