It's October! An artsy movement has gotten Malaysians grabbing their pens to create ink drawings for the rest of the month, one day at a time.
How did this all start?
That nib, as it began, belonged to Jake Parker, a Utah-based artist who said he “created InkTober in 2009 as a challenge to improve his and develop better professional habits."
That first InkTober didn’t attract a swath of participants, but artists did express support for his effort. And in the six years since, InkTober certainly took hold — as a shared experience in which many artists around the world follow Parker’s same committed schedule.
The results are now widely shared on social media, with such hashtags as #InkTober and #INKtober2015.
One week into the InkTober challenge, Malaysians are going strong and consistently posting their artwork online using the hashtags #InkToberMalaysia and #InkToberMalaysia2015.
Here are some of our favourites:
Some portraits of famous people...

Do share with us which are your favourite Inktober Challenge drawings that you've stumbled upon.
Meanwhile, do check out InkTober Malaysia's Facebook page if you're an artist because they are running a giveaway for InkTober! If you're not an artist, you can still stalk the page to look out for awesome artworks by our fellow Malaysians.
P.S.: InkTober Malaysia is also supported by the very first person who started InkTober, Jake Parker himself!
