For several years, I have participated in the popular internet trend known as #Inktober. Created by artist Jake Parker, Inktober is an annual challenge that takes place every October, encouraging artists worldwide to create one ink-based illustration each day of the month. The goal is to improve artistic skills, develop consistent drawing habits, and explore creativity within the constraints of ink as a medium.
​
On this page, you’ll find a curated collection of illustrations I created during my Inktober journey. Each piece reflects not only the daily prompts provided by the challenge but also my personal interpretations and artistic growth.

As maddening as it was at times to develop a quality pen-and-ink illustration every single day for an entire month, it was a deeply rewarding experience. It pushed me to step out of my comfort zone and approach drawing with greater discipline and focus. I treated it as an opportunity to intensely hone my craft and challenge myself to become a better illustrator.
​
Through these efforts, I’ve come to appreciate the nuances of ink-based art—from the crispness of fine lines to the expressive depth of bold strokes. Inktober not only tested my patience but also strengthened my ability to embrace creative constraints and find joy in the process.
