Hi everyone! This year Iām doing inktober and Iām inviting anyone who is interested to join me.
If you arenāt familiar with inktober, itās a challenge that artists of different ages and skill levels from all over participate in to have a creative challenge and a good time. Basically, there is a one-word prompt every day of the month and you can draw whatever you interpret that word to mean. Most artists traditionally use ink for their pieces, but any art supplies you have work as well.
Iām going to post a drawing everyday on this topic (if I remember lol), and youāre welcome to share your drawings here too!
Hereās the prompt list:
Here are my drawings:
Day 1 - Mustache
Today I drew Professor Lupin from Harry Potter because I think he has a nice mustache.
Day 3 - Crown
A little late today. I decided to draw ravenclawās lost diadem and Iām actually really proud of itā¦ Except my pen basically ran out of ink and I didnāt get to fill in as much of the background as I wanted to. Iāll have to find a new pen for tomorrow.
Day 6 - Pierce
For pierce today, I drew a loose sketch of Poseidon because he could āpierceā you with his tridentā¦lol. But honestly, I kind like this one.
Day 8 - Reckless
I feel like dogs can be pretty reckless sometimes, so for today I drew a dog jumping and catching a frisbee. Just ignore the ink that bled through from the other side of the page!
Day 9 - Heavy
Todayās prompt was heavy, so I drew someone carrying a heavy guitar case. However itās not just the guitar case thatās heavy. Has anyone else seen K-on! or just me? Anyways, I actually really like this drawing because it brings back a sense of nostalgia for me. When I was in 5th grade, I had a best friend who was obsessed with this show and very talented at drawing anime characters. Unfortunately she moved to another state after I knew her for 2 years and I havenāt seen her since. But basically when we watched this show, we established that each of our friends was a different character in the show (I was Tsmugi, she was Ritsu, and another one of our friends was Yui, this girl) and I miss her so much!! I havenāt seen her or this show in years! Sorry for my long ranty rant lol.
Day 11 - Sting
Fun story about bees for yāall. So Iām currently taking AP US History at my school, and we were learning about the columbian exchange, and our teacher taught us that bees were brought to the Americas from Europe. One day me and my friend who is also in the class with me weāre eating lunch outside and there were like a million bees. Then one bee flew by her and she said āgo away Bart!ā. So now whenever we see bees (which is literally every day during lunch), we call them all Bart the British Bee. All of them.
Day 12 - Shredded
Iām a dancer, and I have to say, who is more shredded than a ballerina? Who? No one. So here is a moment from the dying swan variation, specifically performed by Marianela Nunez. She is so beautiful, and her lean muscles give her such graceful control. Ballerinas are so strong and incredible.
Day 14 - Trunk
Iām really in the mood to watch fall comfort movies like Harry Potter right now. Also, totally unrelated, but I just started reading Twilight and Iām absolutely obsessed !
Day 15 - Ragged
For ragged, I thought of drawing a Raggedy Anne doll and it turned out so cute! This might be my favorite Inktober drawing so far. Maybe Iāll make a crocheted version of her someday. And look! Sheās holding a strawberry!
Day 16 - Blunder
I actually did not know what the word blunder meant before this, so I had to look up the meaning, and basically it is a stupid mistake, so I drew the cake Hagrid made for Harryās birthday. It has a couple of spelling errors.
Day 17 - Ornate
This is St Paulās Cathedral in England. I went there in spring last year and it was so fun, and so pretty! Usually for all of my Inktober drawings, I start with a light sketch in pencil and then go over it in pen, but for this one I just free-handed with a pen which was a bit of a risk, but it turned out pretty good!
Day 18 - Deal
When I first though Of the word deal, I though of a sale in a store, but I didnāt know what I would draw for that, and then I remembered that you can deal cards. Me and my family have been playing lots of games with cards, mostly B.S., and not to brag, but I usually win because no one pays attention to how many cards I have left. So here are se cards getting ready to be dealed. Donāt mind some of the wonky fingers!
Day 22 - Button
I donāt like this button. I donāt even have a reason for disliking it, it just do. Maybe Iām not a button person I guess.
Day 23 - Firefly
Am I the only one who played Prodigy in elementary school and was absolutely obsessed? Let me know, because I played it so much and it was my favorite! I remember being so sad when they made the update that changed how everything looked. This is what the og firefly forest map icon used to look like. Itās so nostalgic for me!!
