31 Unbelievable #Inktober Creations

October 30, 2017

By Laurrel Allison

Back in 2009, an idea was sparked for Inktober by Utah-based artist Jake Parker. The original plan was to create a month-long challenge for himself to consistently draw things throughout the entire month of October. But soon, artists around the world began taking the challenge themselves.

Artists would showcase their creative skills and draw one ink drawing every day in October. The idea caught on fast. Now, hundreds of thousands of participants eagerly show off their artistic abilities. Every year, Jake typically creates a list of 31 prompts which can keep the creative juices flowing. However, many artists tend to simply take this time to push themselves to create on a consistent basis. Whether they use prompts or not, the following images are fantastic.

The logic side of me is bothered by the fact that the swing wouldn’t be able to work properly due to the ropes being unevenly placed. The creative side of me adores how brooding and mysterious the whole image is.

This is an awesome take on my favorite animal. 

4. A gaping hole

I know the main focus is probably going to be the torn flesh in this character’s back, but I can’t help but notice how impeccably the hands and fingers were done.

The elegance and angles of all of this are truly fascinating.

Something is just so soothing about watching artists create something out of nothing.

From baking witches and farm witches to insect witches and mermaid witches, Paula Valiente created a different witch for every day of the month. Her urban witch was one of my faves. 

11. Beauty & the beast

InkTober 2017 Day 14 – Bus shelter Beauty and the Beast. Today's artwork is adapted from a sketch that I did for a bus shelter mural competition back in 1992. Caught myself a few times blowing away eraser dust after using my digital stylus eraser. That's just how close my experience feels like traditional media. #art #artist #digitalart #drawing #cartoon #inktober #inktober2017 #monster #girl #flowers

This is such a fun take on the classic French fairytale.

A post shared by Hannah Mullin (@hann.solo) on Oct 3, 2017 at 1:03pm PDT

Again, definitely jealous of the gorgeously drawn fingers and hands here. I also really like the air of mystery evident in this piece. We don’t know who is reaching out to whom. It isn’t clear why they became separated. It’s quite melancholic. 

13. Beautiful bones

Grabbing a hot mug of coffee in your own kitchen is the best because it means you don’t have to put on pants.

16. Unconventional

Art isn’t perfect. Art is messy, volatile, and unexpected… A lot like life.

17. Tentacles

Amber Arnoldsen opted for creating a person with (and occasionally without) a mask for every prompt. It was amazing to see how she chose to incorporate the words into vibrant masks for her characters.

Okay so maybe I’m just biased because Stephen King is one of my ultimate favourite authors, but I really love this piece of art.

Victor has many other exceptional drawings and portraits, but this one caught my eye. I really love all the details he put into the leaves, the bricks, and the crosshatching of this piece.

Divided Эта работа выполнена новым пером School pen Zig Manga. Тонкое перо, которое отлично подходит для штриховки. К моему удивлению, оно даже не цепляет бумагу, если вести линию от себя. Рекомендую.

I have to say, Rudoi has a gorgeous aesthetic. This piece is just one of many amazing works of his. If you’ve got a second, you may wanna peek at Rudoi’s page.
