Inktober is a 31-day ink drawing challenge that begins on October 1.

Some suggestions to prepare for Inktober are:
1. Clear space to work and store all your ink related supplies, paper  cleaning tools.
2. Prepare all your supplies.
​3. Show for anything you still need.
4. Practice. Familiarise yourself with your wokspace and tools.
5. Experiment. Is there a new technique or style you wish to use for Inktober 2019? Become familiar with the it prior to October 1.
6. Isolate a time-slot each day when you can work with minimal interruptions. Claim that time now as your Inktober practice time.
7. Pre-plan subjects to draw for for each prompt word.
8. Join me in an online Inktober Group (Facebook, Twitter Instagram, etc)

Yes, I have set goals and a theme. 

My theme will be caricatures, mostly of cats and dogs. 

It is a challenge for me, because I'm a romantic realist and also an impressionist painter. Doing ink caricatures will be totally new to me—which is why I accept the half marathon challenge. 

I will do them for my Caricature website and this YouTube channel.

I will also also share them on Facebook page and Twitter in my artist name account and pin some of the art print for sale on Pinterest.
