What is Inktober?

Have you ever heard that it takes 21 days to build a new habit?

Well, it turns out that the popular belief is actually a... .MYTH!!

And in reality, it can take you anywhere from 18 days to 254 days to build a new habit.

So I'm not going to tell you that if you follow Inktober every day in October 2024 that you are suddenly going to build the habit of creating every day...

But... what if you did?

What is Inktober?

The short answer in that it is a 31 day creativity challenge that an artist started back in 2009 to help him improve his inking skills through regular practise. 

And it has since grown into a worldwide challenge with thousands of artists participating each year.

The "official" rules are simple...

Draw something in ink every day.

But it's not designed to make you feel back about not keeping up, so you don't actually have to do it every day.

And you don't even have to use ink!

It's just really about having some fun and feeling part of something "bigger"

And to help you participate this year and inspire you, Annamarie is going to share a video EVERY DAY.

The videos will be under 10 minutes and in them she will use the prompts to build a new picture every week.
