Topic: October Art Prompts and Challenges

Posted under Art Talk

Continuing from this thread to avoid (appropriate enough for Halloween) necroing.

So, this year, I would be avoiding or limiting Inktober due to the controversies from last year that happened around trademarks and accusations of plagiarism. Plus, I would be switching to mixed media with watercolor alongside my pens and colored pencils.

I'm continuing the yearly Orctober challenges, and I'm leaning on Drawtober and Doodlewash's October prompts.
But it would be interesting on what art prompts will are you going to participate in.

The idea of doing 31 ink drawings through October (or any month) is not copyrightable or trademarkable. So as long as the name is suitably changed, there's nothing anyone can do about me practicing my inking through the month. Last year, I just called it Inquetober and proceeded as usual. This year, I'm considering simply not sticking within October. After all, why stop with just 31 drawings?

True that.
