So is there a minimum level of quality required? I love to doodle but my art skills are atrocious.
The idea of a marathon seems like fun though.
Inktober is a yearly art event intended to improve your inking skills. Every day, there's a prompt which everyone will draw with either ink on paper or digital inking
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.
The main two ways to participate are to draw daily like a marathon or every second day like a semi-marathon. The operative word being marathon. It doesn't have to be your best piece of art or even something you're proud of in any way. As the creator of this community, I know quite a bit of what I create will be absolute trash. I'm ok with this though.
A daily post will be pinned at the top to round up each days work. One may either make a post to the community, or comment on the pinned post.
Feel free to contact me if you're up to help mod this community.
Be kind Constructive criticism at most. This is a strictly positive community meant to keep a habit for a period of time. If you don't enjoy someones art and can't phrase any advice in a supportive way don't speak up. This will be strongly enforced with bans if need be. A dictatorship of kindness. You may, however, ignore this rule for any post made by @sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works. Please, feel free to insult me so terribly that I'll think about your takedown on my deathbed
No AI-Generated work
Submissions must meet the theme of this community Whether on paper or digital the creation must be inked. This means black and white with an ink pen or ink pen digital brush

Absolutely not thankfully. I'm in a similar position here personally which is why I love inktober. No matter your skill level, you're always welcome.
To be clear that's the case for the entire event not just this community. It's quite a nice event
Thanks for the community, I was looking for the prompts but they haven't been released yet, excited to see what people come up with !
As am I, there's some amazing creativity on lemmy.
As for the prompts looks like they're up now on this site: https://inktober.com/rules
Awesome thanks for the update !!
I'm excited. Have a new sketchbook. Microns, dip pens, brushes and inks, fountain pen, etc all ready. Black, brown and blue inks. BRIIIING IIIT!
I'll try coing Inktober this year 😆
I'm excited to get as far as the ADHD will let me! Maybe it'll be halfway this time!!!
I’ve got time, work from home, and I’d be happy to help if you need it / no one else has stepped up.
Uniquely suited I must say.
haha, nominative determinism strikes again!
