The Inktober web site provides a "prompt list": a list of words for each day, which you can (but are not forced to) follow.</p>

<em>Inktober 2022 prompt list</em></p>
<p>I like to have an overall theme each year. This year I selected birds because... I love birds :)</p>
<p>I also decided to use a ballpoint pen this time, because I enjoy drawing with ballpoint pens, and also because I find it faster to draw with them. This is useful because at the end of the month I am often quite tired!</p>

<p>Here are my drawings of this year.</p>
