INKTOBER 2020: The results of drawing every day for the whole of October

For those of you who don't know #Inktober, it's a trend that started in 2009 on Instagram and has grown in magnitude every year since. It's a challenge that requires a drawing a day, in ink, for every day of October, responding to prompts set by the challenger: Jake Parker, who thought the whole thing up.

This year, for #inktober2020, the prompts were as follows:

And, also this year, I finally got round to taking part, as I have promised myself every year for the last five years! If you follow me on Instagram (@howellillustration), you may well have seen at least one of my drawings, posted every day in October, but now here, for your delight and perusal, the full set, which I will shortly be making into a print, and offering them as customisable prints (pick the ones you want!). Get in touch at nicola@howellillustration.co.uk if this sounds like something you'd like to have, though they'll definitely be on the website in due course.

So, without further ado: Inktober 2020 by Howell Illustration.
