FAQ

OCAD U Faculty of Art Celebrates #Inktober. 

All About Me

  • What is Inktober?
    "Inktober is a month-long art challenge created by artist Jake Parker that is focused on improving skills and developing positive drawing habits. Every day for the month of October, anyone participating in the Inktober challenge creates an ink drawing and posts it online. Remember to use the hashtags #inktober and #inktober2022 if you want your art to be seen by everyone." (https://inktober.com/ )
  • When is Inktober?
    Inktober officially lasts for the whole month of October. OCAD U Inktober events will run from Oct 4 to 6.
  • What is different about OCAD’s Inktober compared to regular Inktober?
    OCAD U will host different Inktober activities during the first week of October. You still use the official Inktober prompt list and hashtags. You are invited to share and collaborate within OCAD U.
  • Why would I want to celebrate with OCAD U?
    When attempting Inktober alone, it could be isolated and more challenging. OCAD U aims to create a community that encourages each other through this challenge.
