Great Parks Inktober 2020: Draw a Nature Sketch a Day in October
Artists around the world will be tapping into their creativity and improving their drawing skills with a sketch a day in October.
The campaign, titled Inktober, was created by illustrator and author Jake Parker in 2009 and has been going strong ever since. Inktober releases optional prompts every year, so we thought we’d make a list of our own nature-themed suggestions! Scroll down to see the list.
The rules, from Inktober.com:
- Make a drawing in ink (you can do a pencil under-drawing if you want)
- Post it*
- Tag your post with the hashtag #inktober and #inktober2020
- Repeat
*Post it on any social media account you want or just post it on your refrigerator. The point is to share your art with someone. 🙂
Note: You can do a daily drawing, or go the half-marathon route and post every other day, or just do the 5K and post once a week. Whatever you decide, just be consistent with it. Inktober is about growing and improving and forming positive habits, so the more you’re consistent the better.
Grab a pen and paper and start drawing! If you decide to use our prompts, add the hashtag #GPInktober so we can find you and we’ll share your drawing!
