How it works:
- Sketch in black ink on white paper in response to the prompts
Use a fine line pen or any other black ink pen to sketch. You can do a pencil 'under-drawing' if you want. There is a new prompt to inspire you for every day in October. It is a good idea to do your work small and the same size every day. A 10cm x 10cm square would work well for every day.

Tips for sucess:
Tips for sucess:
Research each 'prompt word' before you start sketching so that you fully understand the word and to gather ideas, but do not copy!
To help make your work good, focus on adding detail using a range of pen thickness but stick to Black Ink only (some of you may add grey for shadow detail).
Make your work a uniform size (the same size paper each time) and keep it to a small scale. Squares 10cm x 10cm work well.
