What is Inktober?
It’s a drawing challenge, lasting the whole month of October, where you create an artwork every day. There is a list of prompts to use and the only rule is that you must use ink. This is but only one of the drawing challenges running on Instagram over the month of October. It was the first time I’ve ever done anything like it and I enjoyed it a lot! Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to always publish a doodle on its set day but I managed to complete the challenge and do all 31 doodles.
If you fancy seeing all the bits I did, click to go after the jump!
The quality of the images isn’t great – they were taken with my camera phone for Instagram, a few times on the go. But, I still think they’re fun and worth putting together in one blog post. Enjoy my mutant cats!

Clearly inspired by Jeremy Scott for Adidas. Shamelessly!
