During the month of Halloween, many artists have made it a tradition to partake in Inktober. This means each October, they will make a new sketch every day, with each new day bringing a new prompt.
The prompts are created by the official Inktober organization and spread to a multitude of different artistic communities, creating a unique experience every year. Now that the month has come to an end, The State Press illustration team would like to share with you its wonderful creations!
