The annual "Inktober" challenge is such a great tool for artists to build up sketchbook habits, stretch character exploration, and practice visual storytelling. In 2022, I completed my first full Inktober set, inventing two original characters: Emmaline the little witch, and her pet cat Jasper. These two have become my annual Inktober duo, going on new adventures each year.
