Inktober Drawing Jam! (Ages 9-12)

Inktober was created by Jaker Parker in 2009 as a challenge to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits, and it has since grown into a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year. Experiment with Lynda Barry’s drawing jam method to start a collection of ink drawings based on the 2021 Inktober daily themes.
