Inktober

Inktober, the annual October drawing challenge where artists create one ink illustration per day, is being discussed under the 2026 hashtag well ahead of the event. Artists are sharing prompts, plans and early sketches, with participants around the world using the tag to organise their month of daily drawings.

Inktober participants are posting their Day 2 creations based on the prompt 'Relic'. Artists are sharing pen-and-ink sketches across the creative community, with one drawing depicting a vintage cassette mixtape as a nostalgic relic of the past. The annual October drawing challenge continues to draw daily illustrations from illustrators and hobbyists using the prompt list.
