"As we turn the page on another year, we can’t help but look ahead with excitement and anticipation for the creative adventures that await us. Your imagination, passion, and dedication to art have been a source of inspiration to so many, and together, we’ve built a community that thrives on the joy of creating and sharing.

This year, let’s continue to grow—not just as artists but as individuals who find connection, growth, and self-expression through our creativity. Art has the incredible ability to inspire and heal, and it’s a journey that we’re thrilled to embark on with all of you.

To kick off this year of creativity, we’re thrilled to announce the first prompt for Inktober52: “Sunrise”!

A sunrise marks new beginnings, hope, and endless possibilities. Let this week’s prompt be an opportunity to reflect on what a fresh start means to you and translate it into your art. Whether you’re working with ink, pencil, digital tools, or any other medium, we can’t wait to see how you bring this theme to life.

Here’s how you can participate:

1. Create your art inspired by the prompt "Sunrise".

2. Share it on your social media or within the Inktober community using the hashtags #Inktober52 and #Sunrise.

3. Take a moment to engage with others’ work—celebrate the diversity of interpretations and connect with fellow creators.

Let’s make this year one to remember by encouraging each other, celebrating growth, and embracing the creative process. We can’t wait to see how you rise to the challenge and share your unique vision with the world.

Here’s to a year full of inspiration and artistic breakthroughs. Happy creating!"
