October Prompts For Calligraphy And Lettering
There’s no better way to improve your lettering than through repetition and practice, and October is a great time to practice thanks to the Inktober challenge. While the Inktober challenge was originally intended as a way to build positive drawing habits, it's celebrated by artists of all kinds (including calligraphers and lettering artists!).
Use these October hand lettering prompts to reinvigorate your practice sessions.
Pause now and pin it for later!
Warning: may cause candy cravings.
What is Inktober?
Inktober is a creative challenge where participants draw (or write) every day for the entire month of October. It’s meant to be a fun form of practice, and there’s a large community element attached to the Inktober practice online.
