A Dozen Favorites From This Year’s ‘Inktober’ Art Challenge

If you're following any comic book artists on Twitter or Tumblr, then there's a pretty good chance that you saw the word "Inktober" pop up an awful lot over the past four weeks. Created by artist Jake Parker in 2009, it's a month-long exercise in getting better at working with ink (as opposed to just pencils) by producing a piece of art every day for all 31 days of October. And it's also exactly the kind of thing that we love to see here at ComicsAlliance.

We are, after all, pretty partial to seeing art from some of our favorite creators, and getting new stuff every day for a month is pretty fantastic. But now that Inktober is Inkt-over, we wanted to throw the spotlight on a dozen of our favorite drawings! Check 'em out below!

(Note: Steve Rolston describes the above character as "Lucille, an off-the-books doctor who lives on a houseboat," which is delightful)

For more, just search Twitter and Tumblr for #Inktober! Now if only we could get Destrovember going...
