Inktober is a 31-day challenge that runs throughout October. It was created to improve one’s inking skills and develop positive drawing habits.

My son Shaked has participated in the Inktober challenge for the past five years. each year he decided to combine the challenge into a story.
It was his idea that I would make this video to help others prepare.

After exploring different papers and formats we found a great solution that allows you to bind your drawings in signatures. The format is 7 X 5.5 Inches, and the format in CM is 17.5 X 14 cm.

We are preparing 8 signatures of 8 pages, Which gives us 64 pages.
We are drawing only on one side of the paper, giving us 32 pages.
Title page and 31 days of the month.
