Inktober is a fantastic creative opportunity, and I've created a simple way for anyone to join in on a manageable scale, with 31 little doodle boxes on just one sheet of A4 paper! Download, print, and get drawing - landscape or portrait - a little bit of creativity each day. The brainchild of artist Jake Parker, the idea is that every day in October, you complete one drawing in ink (or digital ink) and show it to someone. Doesn't matter how good you are or aren't at art, hopefully by drawing more you'll enjoy the process more, and might even get a little more confident in your skills. You can decide that every day is too much, and do every other day, once a week... Set your own goals! It's about you trying something new, or perhaps returning to something you enjoy but have let lapse.

There's a finite amount of wallspace in our lives, and none of us have as much money as we'd like to spend on all the awesome art out there - so how about thinking smaller?
Read on to create your own curated collection of small-scale art, and showcase it! It's a great way to show off your tastes, spread some money to artists in an affordable way, and keep your walls fresh at home. If you haven't heard of Inktober, it's a simple idea - Every day in October, complete one ink drawing, and show it to someone. Doesn't matter how good you are or aren't at drawing, doesn't matter if you use an ink pen, ink brush or digital ink, just ink something and share something each day! The idea is to draw more, and try to improve, or just enjoy the process more.
Now, it sounds simple, but the past few years, I've seen #Inktober images shared on social media, and been a little scared. Although the creator of Inktober, artist Jake Parker, says that you can do as much or as little as you like, I know that I'd feel disappointed with myself if I didn't manage all 31 days. So I've had a plan - and created a single sheet of paper, where I can do just a little doodle each day! There are two PDFs at the bottom if you want to download and use one yourself. |
