What completing the Inktober drawing challenge can teach you

<p>This year, I participated in the Inktober drawing challenge for the third time. For every day in October, I drew an original ink drawing according to the challenge&rsquo;s prompts and shared my results on Instagram.</p> <p>The Inktober challenge was started by American artist Jake Parker as a way to improve his inking skills. It&rsquo;s since become a global movement, and this year&rsquo;s Inktober has been the biggest yet. The hashtag&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/inktober2019/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">#inktober2019</a>&nbsp;has been used for over 5.3 million posts on Instagram. It&rsquo;s even making&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-us-canada-50224935/the-man-behind-the-inktober-viral-drawing-challenge" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">news headlines</a>.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*QNaeLHrw9_wRZg2yz8AYUA.png" style="height:412px; width:700px" /></p> <p>The prompt list for this year.</p> <p>I&rsquo;m not someone who gets fanatic about things but I push myself to finish this challenge every year, without fail. The amount of growth and enthusiasm I have for drawing during this time blows my mind.</p> <p>Besides having more pieces for my portfolio, I&rsquo;ve learned some important lessons. About myself, being bravely confident, and getting the best out of my time and skillset.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/swlh/what-completing-the-inktober-drawing-challenge-can-teach-you-f2c71e1cb157"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
