Inktober 2017 – The best prompts

Hello everyone,

today begins the most important month for online illustration on Instagram: It’s the start of Inktober. 31 days everyone will draw as much as they can. The only rules: Have fun, use ink somehow, post it online and in the best case: Keep doing it for 31 days.

Inktober was started by Jake Parker in 2009. Thousands of drawing enthusiasts participate every year since. Besides the official prompts there are also various prompts from other illustrators. Here’s my collection of my favourite prompts for 2017!

The official 2017 #Inktober prompt list. Pass this along, would ya? – #inktober #inking #drawing #ink #drawingchallenge #inktober2017 #sketchbook #illustration #jakeparker #artistsoninstagram #artists #artnews #drawers #brushpen #micronpen #copic #penandink #kuretakezig #pigmamicron #micron @jakeparker

I’m not sure if I’ll be able to complete the entire #Inktober challenge this year because of deadlines, but I’m determined to do it entirely. Here’s my prompt list for this year. I know a lot of you like my cosmic art, and I enjoy so much doing it so… Constellations! 💫 Hope that you like this list! Are you ready for Inktober too? Did you choose any list from someone? Which? Feel free to use this list too! Just tag me or notify me, it would be amazing to see your creations 💖 Waiting for 1th October! /// No estoy segura de si este año seré capaz de completar el reto #Inktober completo, pero almenos es la intención. Aquí va mi lista de conceptos para ilustrar, sé que a muchos de vosotros os gusta la temática cósmica que hago habitualmente y yo me divierto mucho ilustrando esa temática así que… Constelaciones! 💫 Espero que os guste esta lista! Estáis preparados para Inktober? Habéis escogido alguna lista? Cual de ellas? Esta lista es libre de usarse si os gusta, simplemente etiquetadme o notificadme, sería genial ver vuestras creaciones 💖 Esperando al 1 de Octubre!
