Why this community?

In 8 days inktober starts. I'd like to have a place were people can see others results and discuss their experience daily. After failing to find a community for this event I've created one myself. I'd love to hear peoples thoughts on how this should run though.

What is inktober?

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. You may also dedicate yourself to a half marathon style Inktober by inking every second day.

To be discussed:

My suggestion is that we have a daily round up thread where yesterdays art is collected in one place and, if wanted, vote on our favorite piece to be included at the end of the month in a "community favorites" meta post.

Any suggestion on how this should be run, anything we can do to make this more fun, or something not listed would be greatly appreciated.

Want to help the community?

I'll admit, I don't have the most time. I'd heavily appreciate it if some of you would be willing to become mods so you can make the daily roundup post, pin it, unpin yesterdays, and update a list of these posts. Of course, enforcing the rules and cleaning up spam would also be kind but I understand we all have time issues

What is Inktober?

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

From the main site:

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.

What to do

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.

This community

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.

Rules

  1. 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

  2. No AI-Generated work

  3. 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
