Created by concept artist and illustrator Jake Parker in 2009, the Inktober initiative has become a worldwide phenomenon under which thousands of artists take up the challenge of creating an ink drawing every day during the entire month of October.
Inviting not just artists, but anyone who loves to draw, the month of October brings out the creative best amidst those who take up the challenge. We are left with an enormity of mesmerising art etched with ink on paper.
India has always had a legacy of being artistically inclined, which one can observe amidst the seemingly endless number of architectural marvels and beautifully handcrafted textiles present in the country.
And there is no dearth of artists in the country, who, time and again, leave us speechless with their creative renditions. This year’s edition of Inktober challenge lays testimony to it.
Here are some of the best Inktober artworks that we had stumbled across Instagram comprising a quirky mix of culture, surrealism, fairytales, memories and of course, INK!
