This month, the challenge is to design a character for Inktober! The idea is to design a main character to star in your daily Inktober drawings.

If you’re new to Inktober, it’s annual art challenge to do an ink drawing each day for the entire month of October. You can draw whatever you want, or something based on the official prompt list. But creating a main character for the challenge will help you tell a story.

Every entry must have 5 drawings on ONE page:

  • 1 neutral pose front, 3/4 view

  • 1 neutral pose back, 3/4 view

  • 1 walking or running pose

  • 1 sitting pose (ground or chair)

  • 1 close up of face

Also, be sure to include some “traits” about your character. Such as name? Age? Favorite pastimes? Show us how these traits drive their character design.

And since it’s Inktober, here’s a few extra requirements just to get in the spirit of things:

  • Must be ink, or look like ink.

  • Must be black and white.

If you’re not used to working in black and white, this could be a fun challenge to get out of your comfort zone!
